On Sunday morning I thought I woke up in the wrong country ! The sky was ink blue !!
I took the opportunity and went to the biggest market in Brussels with around 400 stalls !
Here the tube comes out from the underground and continues as tram on the surface
You can see the headquarters of Tintin and Snowy (original name Tintin and Milou) created by the Belgian artist Hergé.
People were gathered around a guy who explained the perfect cleaning with a special brush ! I would have rather chosen the guy to clean my floors instead of the brush, that's still "Do it yourself " !
Despite the rather cool temperature of only 11° (51 F) people were sitting outside on the terrace
There were also many tourists on the market
you can buy almost everything here
Even family friendly underwear, I wouldn't dare to show the other female underwear, Blogger would ban my blog !
New fashion for spring and summer
and also fabrics, towels and household appliances !
On my way back I saw people sitting in the little square around the "Porte de Hal" the remains of the Brussels'town wall.
and for the first time this year I saw some snowdrops !
The people seem quite fascinated by brush man. I am with you. Get someone else to do it.
ReplyDeleteOMW, that blue sky is BRILLIANT! (Excuse the pun) Glad you had this clear day and a nice market to visit. I love the Tintin and Snowy headquarters. Mmm, I don't want to do-it-myself either and fortunately I have dear Pendo and Regina to help me out daily! I wish I was there for some of those beautiful spring clothes. (I'd give a wide berth to those "bloomers" as our old school nurse used to call them. I hope this weather is the first of many this season. Jo
ReplyDeleteClear blue skies and a cool climate. That's what I wished for now.
ReplyDeleteI would grab some grilled nuts a lovely bouquet of flowers at the market.
At last the blue skies have arrived. We've had a couple of great days here but the grey and rain have now returned!
ReplyDeleteWith all the other more interesting goods on sale I don't know why the man with the mop had such a crowd.
ReplyDeleteI love fabric and the colours are so pretty.
As for the underwear-I buy mine at Kmart-boring. My underwear I mean, not your blog post.
