    Lovely seeing Brugge in springtime; lovely little town, kept so well.
    Special to know it became like this because of wool! Very important city for the 'lakenhandel' (wooltrade) in medieval times.
    Thanks for sharing Selma!

    • @eenleukleven
      @eenleukleven Рік тому

      You write it the correct way, Brugge. I wonder why in English it's Bruges, and Brussel is Brussels? Loved watching this episode Selma, being Dutch I know both cities, I prefer Brugge (and adore Belgium chocolate 🌞). Looking forward to an episode with footage of Londen and your home country Finland! Enjoy your trip!

    Great travelogue Lovely Lady. The busy life you live and the number of knits you complete and still managing a family life too! You are an inspiration. In fact rearranging that, your family life does come first but your knitting and podcasting on top of the rest is inspiring to me as a wife, Mum and (slow but everyday) knitter. ❤️❤️❤️

    Hello Selma, lovely to hear you enjoyed your stay in our little country. We are definitely well know for our beers, our chocolates and good cuisine. I guess that coming from the ‘new world’ makes you look to our old historical city centers like Brugge en Brussels in a different way. We are used to these views, I never traveled to your side of the planet so I guess wandering around Canada would also be very different for us, little Belgians.
    Enjoy the rest of your travels, have fun visiting your family in Finland and thank you for showing the knitting community our little corner the world. Greetings from Limburg, the north eastern corner of Belgium, Annemie 👋

    This episode is a nice surprise! Hearing you talk about all of the places and food brings back lovely memories of my trip to Belgium last year. Looking forward to hearing your carry-on experiment worked. Last month we took a 2 week vacation and packed significantly lighter than we normally do (couldn’t get it down to a carry-on, though!) - although I was very tired of the few clothes I had packed by the time we came home, it was something I will do again.

    Brussels looks so beautiful. Amazing architecture and mouthwatering sweet treats. I even saw a Belgian Malinois crossing the bridge! We have one of those in our family and she visits my two Parson Russells often for some wild romps. I expect there are a lot of them in Belgium! Looking forward to the next leg of your journey. 😊
