Friday's Favourite Five

Oh my!! How time flies when you're having fun!
Friday already!
Time to look back on the good things from the week that has passed.
And a good week it was ...


1. I could eat outside on my patio for the very first time this season.
I was alone, but that did not matter. I prepared myself a nice salad with smoked salmon and I enjoyed it with a glass of white wine and some crunchy French baguette. Heavenly ...

2. Tulips: That same day I spoiled myself with a bouquet of pink tulips. Tulips are so pretty, I'm sure Susanne agrees! ;-)

3. Strawberries: Red, sweet and luscious ... The first strawberries of the season taste like no other!

4. Waffles: I mean, .... really? Need I say more?




5. Last but not least: Precious friendships.
I had a meeting with a blogger friend yesterday, and I'm meeting another one today.
Yeah! I'll be out AGAIN today!

Have to run now!! I'll visit you all back when I get home, okay?

Quilly's Three Word Challenge

She heard a slight click as she gently closed the door behind her.
She looked up and saw the golden glow of the sun on the church tower.
The light was growing dim, it would soon be dark.


High above her the swallows swooped through the air, she could hear their shrill shrieks.
It was getting chilly, she thought, and she quickened her pace.

She walked and walked until she arrived in a small alley...



DANG DANG DANG DANG DANG!!!

We interrupt this post for an important message.


Dear readers of this blog.
It is with great grief in our hearts that we have to inform you that Jientje is reported missing.
She intended to write a story for Quilly's famous three word challenge.

The story would have involved a certain vampire who does not like his picture taken.
As you probably can see, judging from the pictures she has showed so far, the setting would have been quite tenebrous. This post would also have included a jussulent hotpot in the fireplace as pictured here below.


The story would even have included the recipe for an ebullient liquid, brewed from some hitonious ingredients like snails eyes, snake tails and cow manure, all mixed into some kind of a mud soup.

Unfortunately, Jientje has been abducted by her sister, a blogger friend and the sister of the blogger friend. They're going to eat Belgian waffles in Gent to celebrate the friend's birthday.

So sorry.
It would have been a great story.
And now you'll never know how it would have ended?
But from what I've heard, the waffles are the best in Belgium. ;-)

Melli's Alphabet Challenge, W and X

Wednesday again, time for Melli's Alphabet challenge.
One more week to go after this one, we're doing W and X this week.
W was not that easy to find, or maybe I was not looking in the right places?
These are all from my last trip to Bruges again, but I only discovered that I had them when I was browsing through my archives!
It"s upside down, but it's a W !




And if you look well, there's one on the right side of this picture as well. It's on it's side in the green Buxus hedges? Had I known it was there, I would have composed the picture slightly different, but it's in there all right!
But what I did notice when I took the pictures, was the dragon bench!
It was already past the S week, but I snapped it anyway.
It's my bonus for Melli! ANOTHER DRAGON FOR MELLI!!
I miss chasing dragons, does it show?


As for X .... well, I had a ball!!
I found so many I had to make a collage ...


And now I'm off to Melli's!
Can't wait to see what the others will come up with!

Rubies from Bruges

For this week's Ruby Tuesday, I'm sharing some more pictures from my last trip to Bruges.
The twin houses with the wooden façades are probably the oldest houses still left intact.



This is at " De Dyver"



And this is the peaceful serenity at the beguinage.
Three Rubies from Bruges, all three very different ...
