MY WORLD


more participants here

I still have the painters in the house so it was a nice opportunity to escape the mess by driving my neighbor to the hospital for her monthly eye check up. The hospital is located in a quite old part of Brussels.



It's a very famous hospital where all posh babies are born



the inside is very modern



but in the streets you still find the old manor houses, transformed into flats but they have kept the original facades.









Here at the corner is an old café where futur fathers can drink a few glasses before the big event.



and as it was Valentine's day, the flower shop in front of the hospital was full.

  1. Lovely world you live in. The hospital certainly IS posh! I love the old manor style buildings. Looks a lot drier and less ice in the streets. Spring in the air? I hope so for you. (((Hugs))) Jo

  2. Beautiful. We are now giving serious thought to train passes, which will make us worry less, and probably argue less as well.
    As the passes are for 1st Class, we will be comfortable and happy, I think.
    And now I'm so looking forward to Brussels.

  4. That hospital looks better than the one we have: a few baracks!

    When I lived in Brussels (St Pierre Woluwé) I lived with quite a wealthy family and she had a house that she had divided into flats somewhere in the center of town. The outside looked fantastic as well.
