it's got pictures and everything...

Can't wait to welcome them here, to the new and improved door to our humble abode.

If it's Tuesday, it must be Belgium...

I love Brugge in Belgium. I just can't get enough of the place. And so with cheap flights from here and a good excuse in the shape of Nana and Scott, we're off to Belgium again!

Here's where we'll be staying.

And here's where we'll be shopping and browsing.

And here's what we'll be eating and drinking.

Oh, the places they'll go

One of the places that they will have to go is to Castle Campbell. It is in the lovely village of Dollar and offers a wonderful view of the Ochils and a great reward in the shape of a fresh sandwich from the deli upon your return to the high street. It's a worthy compensation for climbing the hill to the castle.

Welcome

To track the inevitably wacky adventures of my Southern friends and family as they visit the UK and all points European, this blog done been born. From the pre-trip anticipation and appetite whetting posts to the mid-adventure journals and post holiday recaps, enjoy with us as cultures collide...

First visitors: Scott and Nana

Expected arrival: early morning, 13 November 2005
