A Birthday in Bruges

Alex took me to Bruges for my birthday in May. I'd been wanting to visit, particularly after having seen the film, In Bruges. It is a very picturesque city and the weather was perfect for such a visit. I also got a new zoom lens for my camera so experimented with that, too.

I have been very busy getting up-to-speed with my new responsibilities as the AWC President - a learning curve to be sure, but I'm starting to feel comfortable in the role. A bit of time off, though, is really what I need.

I am preparing for my upcoming trip to the States and very much looking forward to seeing my family and friends, particularly our niece and nephews.

Grand Place, Brussels, Belgium

I'm getting behind in the blogging, I know...


Here's the second part of our day-trip to Brussels, where we visited the Royal Greenhouses (the film says May but it was the end of April - and I've not time to change the film at the moment).

For those who read the blog entry about my friend Denise, she has made tremendous progress and has actually been discharged and is resting and recovering at home now. She still has a challenging road ahead. Thanks to all of you for your prayers for Denise and her family.



Next is our trip to Bruges...
