What is it about breaks that makes you so tired afterwards? I think it must be all that relaxing..it makes it harder to shift back into top gear and start speeding up again. Anyway, to add to it, we have got some sun!! Really...sun, warm, hot, bright sun!!
It's not often that we get it hot here in UK, but it has been hot this week and I love it. But it is so tempting to just put off work and enjoy it. I know I shouldn't...but the little devil in me says "Oh go on, just for a while". I can almost feel the little horns poking out but still I sit a while or wander around the garden and check the flowers. I'm bad!! But....the solution is at hand...it is due to rain tomorrow and the temperature will drop...so it will be no more excuses and back to work. I mean who likes wandering around in the rain? Well, actually....I do!! But..I won't!!
I mentioned that I had visited Bruges again this trip and spent an other lovely day wandering around it's old streets and canals. It's not called the Venice of the North for nothing, it is full of bridges and calming water, with some superb buildings. Take a look.
The Rosary Dock (Rozenhoedkaal) and the Belfry.
The squares are full of cafes with menus in English, Flemish and French, really tourist friendly.
What more could you want than shops full of Belgian chocolates and lace?
For the romantic there is the opportunity to ride around the town in a horse drawn carriage...at a price!!
Okay, you have suffered my holiday snaps and now I have something for you. Just a small gift to add to the My Little Garden Kit, an alpha. I don't do many alphas but I made this one to use myself and so I thought I would share it with the rest of the kit. It has upper and lower case letters, plus 3 letter frames that you can use with the capital letters if you want...I did..
You can download the Alpha here
Have a great day/evening and I hope that the sun is shining on you where ever you are.

Thank you for the matching alpha June - I don't know how or why I hadn't noticed this comment space before! Will email again to chat. Sue P.
Your pictures are fantastic. Makes me want to climb right in and start exploring. It looks like such a beautiful place. Thanks for the alpha set also
great pictures. I know i will never get to that part of the world so thanks for sharing with us.
also thanks for the alpha
Thanks for the photos.
It has been a lifetime ago I've been there. So I did a bit of timetraveling.
Thanks!
I would have taken the time to see that also. I have heard that Bruges was quaint and somewhat romantic. Now I see it really is.
Thank you for sharing such lovely photos!
Lovely photos. I wish I wasn't afraid of planes - I could get out of the US besides the drive to Canada! Well, that's why blogs like yours are so important...it keeps us armchair travelers satisfied!
i have always dreamed of living in a place like that. how beautiful! please don't stop posting pics, i for one totally love them!
Thank you so much June for this alpha and for the photos of Belgium.
I found them very interesting the Belgium exchange student which we had stay for a about 10 weeks was from Bruges.
Bruges looks lovely. Very quaint, though that term is worn out, I'm sure. LOL The lace is so pretty!
I know how you feel after a break. I have found that I often have to go home to rest. LOL I think we do so much that is out of the norm for us, that it takes us a while to get back in to the swing of every day life.
Thank you, June.
Hugs to you!

Beautiful places
I love the kit and alpha--thank you!
The photos are wonderful, it's just gorgeous there! You're a lucky girl~
:D
Those pictures are absolutely beautiful I wanted to eat one of the candies and the buildings reminded me of my visit to Venice with the water.
I just love seeing how others live and noting their history and culture.
Thanks for sharing..

We once stopped in Bruges once about 20 yrs ago on the way to Amsterdam. We spent most of our time in the square just wandering around such a beautiful city. Lovely photos!
