I'm going with a very dear friend of mine to Sweden this Summer and we are going to walk on the St Olav trail which in its whole goes from Selånger to Trondheim. But we're going to do only a tiny bit of it, from Åre to Medstugan and back again. It's a long story why we don't cross the Norweigan border as originally planned, but we'd like to play safe and not go to far but accept our limitations and keep the holiday a holiday. Even so, we decided we needed some exercice and so we went to the Ardennes last Wednesday for a lovely walk as you can see! The temperature was very cooperative, just above 20°C and with a slight rain refreshing us. Aren't we gorgeous?

... which is an American tradition which as you see includes measuring the circuit of the mother in spe! A great fun girl's activity which was new to me. And also I've got a splendid view of Brussels through the eyes of friends who come from there!
As you see it was a little bit wet! But it could have been worse, because our guide (to the left, with the umbrella, as all guides) taught us this street (the Anspachlaan) used to be a river! But long ago they did away with the river and turned it into asphalt for the cars to drive. And very recently they banned the cars and turned the whole street into a big walking street/playground. Lovely. I'm glad for the people of Brussels.
Well, and if we now go back in time to April this is what happened then:

I attained the respectable age of 40 and for the occasion invited some very dear friends of mine for a little concert in my flat (many are missing on the photos I'm afraid!). Lovely and heart-warming! A memory to cherish very dearly. So, that's my little catch-up with you for now.
