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!

If only Van Gogh could see this ...



Van Gogh should have lived here, what masterpieces he would have made?
This is the humble view from my kitchen window, now how blessed am I to live here?






Early in the morning...



... or late in the afternoon ...




Even the gods look ashtonished, can you see that?


I bet Van Gogh really does envy me!

Happiness is a piece of cake ...


 Hello dear friends, it's been a while since I last posted, but a lot has happened...

Two years ago we moved to Bruges, to a lovely appartement with a stunning view on Bruges, the most beautiful city of Belgium, the town where I was born!



Photo opportunities gallore, within walking distance of where I live.



This was taken from my kitchen window...



As you can see, my hubby is in perfect shape, and we're very very happy here!





Two years ago my lovely daughter Valérie got married to her knight on a white horse Peter. It was a lovely day, a fairy tale wedding, complete with sunshine and nice weather.



She got pregnant and gave birth to the cutest little baby you've EVER seen! Believe me!
I know I KNOW, I'm her proud grandma, and I love her to pieces!




Our other daughter Patsy is very happy with her husband Geert. They look radiant, don't they?



My little sister ( and my other sister ) live right across the street, and we are now able to spend a lot of time together.
Cats rule in her hous, LOL!
 


I still love to cook ... :-)




Yesterday the Easter bunny brought some presents for Olivia.


Isn't she pretty? Ok, Blogger won't let me post any more pictures right now, but I'll be back tomorrow because I have a hell of a lot more to show you! There was a birthday party for my father who is turning 85 this weekend, there are cure baby pictures, pictures of Bruges... Plenty to show you!

I hope you are all doing well, please let me know? 

Bye for now, I really do hope you are still reading this blog!
