DINNER IN THE SKY

During the weekend on the site of the Waterloo Lion's Battlefield, was a very special event: Dinner in the Sky facing the Lion’s Mound. Of course I had to go there and have a look.

Every day, a chef will take you to the stars for a magical experience: a unique view at a height of 40m against the Lion while enjoying the menus concocted by the greatest chefs of the region.

From breakfast to a starred dinner, but also a gourmet lunch and an afternoon tea formula, with family, friends or couples. The formulas are accessible to both companies and individuals.

When I arrived at the entrance





The Lion observed the event ! Usually it's so calm on the site !



and then I saw the "restaurant" hanging high up



It looked a bit strange but I could hear the people laughing and singing and enjoying their meal !




on the ground I saw white tents



A bar on the ground



It looked quite inviting



Beer barrels as tables







and a cosy inside view of the tents.

I had arrived early on purpose to be able to take pictures, because later in the afternoon it was packed with people who wanted to see this unique restaurant in the sky.

I didn't go, I would have liked if I would have been invited, because it was rather expensive but certainly worthwhile for some people.




I found this video on YouTube and it gives you an idea how it worked.

WEEKEND MAY 26

It had been very hot this weekend with temperatures up to 30°C (86F) and I spent most of the time on the terrace in our garden. There was a little wind and the heat supportable. I had moved my computer and worked outside. I also watched a movie and felt on holidays !



Late afternoon I went to the "Waterloo Apero" which is organized each week for the inhabitants of Waterloo. My friends were on holidays abroad so I went there alone, but I knew so many people that it was nice and very funny.

Sunday morning it was very warm and sticky ! I went to the market to buy some roasted chicken, little grilled potatoes and tomatoes for a salad for our supper.



I moved my office outside and could stay the whole afternoon, although it rained at some moment and then the sun came out again. Only the temperature didn't change.

And while I surfed on my computer, a delicious smell came from our new neighbors garden. Apparently they did a barbecue, I also saw some smoke around the corner. I would have preferred to smell the freshly mowed lawn, instead of kitchen smells, but of course when the weather is so nice, a barbecue is nearly a must. But we had just had our lunch !



The smell was a little special to my nose, probably because of the spices, our neighbors are from Lebanon.



and then I heard my name, Jean was calling me and gave me this plate over the hedge. It was covered with this flat bread and underneath was roasted chicken and pieces of veal with some vegetables I don't what it was and two different sauces. It looked delicious. It was really very kind of them to introduce us to the Lebanese kitchen ! We will eat it tonight as a starter !
