About Me

My photo
Antwerp, Belgium
Welcome to the new, and improved version of Heaven in Belgium. I am Jientje. "Jientje", like the boys name Gene, followed by "chu"? "Gene-chu", that's how you pronounce my name. Yes!!!!That's it!! So now you know huh? I am an addicted blogger. I was born and raised and am still living in Belgium. Yeah, the "this-is- Tuesday-so-this-must-be-Brussels" kind of Belgium .. There, you see? Maybe you couldn't find it on the map, but at least I'm trying to change that a little by sharing lots of pictures. I really love to cook and create new things, like this blog for instance. I am a mother,a grandmothe and a wife too! They say I'm a traveler, and a photographer. Well that's just what they say, I love to make pictures, but I am far from professional ... If my English is not perfect, that would be because it's my second language. I do hope you'll forgive me any possible misspellings or strange vocabulary ... Now, as a result of all of the above, I get way too little sleep and my days are always much too short!

Heaven is in Belgium

Life … and stuff …

 

It’s been a week since I got back from our holiday in France, but I have to admit ...
I. HAVE. BEEN. LAZY.
Blogging wise, that is.
Life and family matters have gotten the better of me, I’m afraid.

I promise, as soon as things start to settle down, I’ll be back.
Let me tell you one thing though?
I want to thank you for being my friend.

I have been looking forward to your return. But I have been slowing down a bit too with summer in the air...having a harder time keeping up with everyone.

Love the feel of this photo.

This photo has the same coloring (or lack thereof) as the one from the Bokrijk Museum. Just lovely.

Boxes and...boxes for me these days! I can't be lazy with the moving ahead! I wish I had a magic stick to move us to Belgium, to our new flat, without any stress or fatigue!

VioletSky said...

I'm feeling rather like your cat myself, lately.
Summer daze...

Adrienne Zwart said...

I LOVE this photo. The colors are so soft and earthy. It makes me feel relaxed just looking at that sweet cat sleeping. I really like how you framed its face with the rungs of the railing.

Loree said...

Hi Jientje. I have been away on vacation too and going back to the old routine is always hard. I am sure we can all understand.

Unknown said...

No thanks necessary, Princess.

Gattina said...

Are you in summer sleep ? That's why I didn't hear from you ! the picture is adorable.

The French Bear said...

I am so happy you have had a great holiday and are having fun with family!!!! I can't wait to hear all about it! It did make me wonder where were you? Then I remembered, oh yes she is on vacation!!!!
Lucky you!
Hugs,
