A few months ago a friend of mine told me about a spot in Belgium that she thought I’d like, called Hallerbos. It’s a forest just outside Belgium that, for a few weeks every spring, is completely covered in bluebells. She showed me her photos and I immediately wanted to go.

Yesterday was a very exciting day for us!  It was the day that we finally picked up our new car!   It will be the third car we’ve ever had. The first one we had was a 2006 Renault Clio, it was the company car given to us by Xander’s former employer.  I was so excited to finally have a car …

I’m a little out of it at the moment but I feel like writing so I’m going to have one of those blurb moments where I just go on about whatever is on my mind.

In veel steden kunnen fietsers en wandelaars zondag hun hart ophalen. Milieudefensie viert dan de tiende verjaardag van de zogenoemde autovrije dag. De straten in het centrum van 22 dorpen en steden zijn autovrij.

That’s pretty scary to think of all those people who were just doing their day to day activities, not having any idea that their bus would be bombed that day. Last I saw there were two confirmed deaths and many …

Tonight we went biking again, we stayed out for about 40 minutes. The longest I’ve gone yet was 50 minutes and it was really hot out as well. It was somewhat cooler this evening because it was about to rain. This is a good thing because it’s cut the heat a little and finally I can sit in my own …

Still in Canada.. still having an awesome time. Tuesday night we went to see the Lipizzaner Stallions and they were as beautiful as I remember them. It was strange because there were so many empty seats! I don’t know if they didn’t advertise it well or if I’m just so biased and in love with horses that I couldn’t imagine …
