WEEKEND REVIEW SEPT 2

This weekend was a big flea market and other festivities in Waterloo. All boutiques and shops along the main street had reduced their prices by 20 % of which of course I took advantage when I returned from Ilona. I had spend the afternoon in her garden and had talked about my travels of course.

I finally bought the yellow blouse which you can see below !

The park was packed with people who sold all kind of stuff ! Clothes, tools, furniture, lamps, toys etc ! It was amazing what people had to sell or give away for nearly nothing.











I was with Nicole and Ilona and another friend and we looked at all the things for sale. Ilona found a nice sued jacket which suited her very well.



We watched young girls performing dances



and saw the orchestra walking by



Two soldiers wanted to make a picture with us !





and a clown too ! Unfortunately the one who took the pictures must have pushed on the wrong button because I have no photo with Nicole and me and the clown.

We ended the afternoon sitting in front of an Italian restaurant and had a few drinks. I met a lot of people from the past which I hadn't seen for ages. My first neighbor in this street with her son whom I had seen as a baby and now was the father of one ! A colleague with his wife whom I hadn't seen since a long time either and a few other people. It was a real village this day.

It had been a very nice and funny afternoon and I was a bit tired when I finally returned home !
