Week 14... Historical

This week was fairly slow at school and during the week I was kept busy searching for mothers day presents for Sunday.So Friday night rolled around and it was a rock concert with my lil sister :D I nearly died when I saw a boy who could only be described as tiny (about 10) with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other!! I nearly died! So that was MY excitement for the night!

Saturday was a quiet day at home then Saturday night it was off to see a theatre production that a friend of the family was starring in. I really didn't understand a whole lot of it but some of it was quite funny and I enjoyed it a lot. After that we went out for dinner and I had a "tartiflette" its like potato, ham and bacon mixed then a block of soft cheese is placed on top and melted through it... IT WAS WONDERFUL!!

Sunday was mothers day and after all the celebrations in the morning were complete we headed off to Brugge for the day... Brugge is where they traditionally make all the gorgeous Belgian Lace and we found A LOT of it everywhere, we also found some people who still do it all by hand! It is INSANE to watch! they are so fast! you can hardly believe that the have any idea what they are doing! They call Brugge the little Venice and after a day there it isn't hard to see why... there are all the canals and boats to take you on journeys... it really is a BEAUTIFUL place to visit. I just cant explain it so I think I will let the photos do the talking for me.Until next week,
Missing you all lots
