Happy Belgian Christmas!

Darren and I went to Belgium for Christmas this year. We stayed with his Grandparents who now live there, along with D's Dad who came over from England! It was a fun few days! We certainly ate and drank well... Gran always sees to that! Steak, croquettes and cake daily! lol! We went to a lovely Midnight Mass service at an Abbey about 30mins away from where we were staying. It was beautiful inside and you certainly got the sense of occaision which a lot of people crave from these types of services. Obviously, D and I couldn't understand what they were saying, which was a shame, but it was easy to follow the star errr... congregation on when to stand etc.
We went out to a restaurant for Lunch on Christmas Day, as it was much easier on everyone just to eat out. We had Steak (obviously!!) which was very nice and Belgian waffles with ice cream and chocolate sauce for pudding... mmmm Yummeeee!
On Boxing day, Darren, his Dad and I went for an excursion to Brussels (Boxing day is not celebrated in Belgium, nor is it a public holiday)!! It was good fun and we saw a few of the famous sites... the waffels weren't as good though!!! Shameful! hehehe!
Tuesday the 27th we travelled home, and are now looking forward to spending the next few days over the New Year with some good friends from Horsham.
