SNOW THE BELGIAN WAY

Snow is something rare in Belgium, but not so in the last 3 years we always had a bit. But as we are not equipped for snow, only few people clean their sidewalks and when it's cleaned it becomes an ice rink due to the humidity, and then everybody walks on the dirty road where a little snow lays along the street.

In the little streets and gardens of Waterloo, snow even only a few cm can be very pretty.



When it starts to snow and the green grass becomes white











I took the pictures out of the different windows of our house because i didn't want to go out, snow is not at all my cup of tea !



And then when it starts to melt, it becomes really dirty ! Not so much in our street or the little streets around but the main streets are a catastrophe. Mountains of dirt and snow are laying besides the roads.



Now it has started to rain again, no snow anymore, but just an awful wet weather



A real inviting day to go out for a walk !



At least we had Myriam's birthday to celebrate which we did forgetting the bad weather and leaving our dirty boots outside and changed shoes ! It had been a very cheerful birthday, now except one we are all in the 70th and two already 80.



and in her garden the snow was still there
