Have just got back (well, ok, yesterday) from a fantastic few days away in Brussels in Belgium. I was expecting to enjoy the sightseeing, the chocolate, the waffles and the general being away on romantic city breakiness, all of which was achieved in abundance - you haven’t lived til you’ve sampled a Belgian waffle and gone chocolate shopping Brussels-style What I wasn’t expecting was to return home an engaged woman, but that is what I now am as Kev proposed to me on Friday whilst we were standing at the Palais de Justice overlooking the rest of Brussels - proper down-on-one-knee job with beautiful sparkly white gold diamond ring!! Once I’d asked if it was for real and got over the shock a bit I of course said yes and am now looking forward to being the future Mrs Kev :D

Obviously nothing could come anywhere close to beating that as the highlight of the trip but we did enjoy the rest of our time there - saw most of the major sights including Grand Place, the Mannekin Pis and the Royal Palace although bit miffed that most of the museums seemed to be shut on Mondays! Did manage to visit the Museum of Costume and Lace though which was both warm and dry (which Brussels was not for most of the trip) and kept me entertained for a couple of hours on Monday while Kev was busy being clever with other clever people from the world of Jabber. Should any of them find their way here by way of Kev’s blog post, it was very nice meeting you all and thank you very much for letting me join you and making me feel so welcome

Now all I need to do is find a new job and I can start giving this being engaged lark the full attention it deserves!
