FUN MONDAY - Dreams



Sayre asked :

If you could live anywhere, where would it be? What would you do with your time? Who would you live with? How would you get there? What accomodations would you be living with? Tell me about this life you have fantasized for yourself!

If I had to answer these questions 40 years ago, then maybe I could have fantasized another life for me, but now I am happy as I am. I don't want to live anywhere else because I haved lived here since 36 years. The only thing I dream of is to push on a button in October and find myself in Egypt at the red Sea until May with house cats and husband. But I am afraid that remains a dream !

I don't want to live with anyone else but Mr. G otherwise I would have divorced a long time ago. I also don't want to change what I am doing with my time. I love everything I do, my travels, blogging, painting and photography. From a certain age on, dreams are behind you, or do you want me to have a new lover, a new house, a new country and a new hobby at 90 ?

But I still fantasize about quick travels. I wish I could go everywhere in the world in 2 to 4 h ! Even to Australia ! Maybe one day this will come true too. I can already go from Brussels to London in 1 h 45 min and under the sea ! Unthinkable when I was a teenager !

WEEKLY WINNERS - A British Store in Brussels


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

A friend had told me that outside Brussels is a quiet big English store. The name of the place was Everberg and of course I had no idea where it was. I asked my Mrs. GPS and off we went. She directed me to the countryside !



When I arrived I really found myself in front of a Manor ! I had never seen such a store in my whole life. It really didn't look like a shop at all !



The two floor store



the name is correct !



Have you ever driven through a door like that to go shopping ?



The entrance



A telephone booth as decoration in the garden



and a friendly "Welcome" sign



even a "Manor" dog was there.



on the other side of the street was this big farm



and the geese couple greated me loudly



Poor guy, spring has not yet begun and he has already horns growing !

I bought delicious scones and sauce for Chili con Carne and some other things I don't get in a normal Belgian supermarket.
