Paulette's walk in Jesus Eik

Only four of us decided to walk in spite of the bad weather forecast today. To be fair, some ladies could not join our little group because of a trafic jam on the Ring.

In fact it didn't rain before 3 p.m. and we all enjoyed a brisk (sometimes muddy) walk on new paths.

Sue's walk in Zaventem

A grey day and a chilly wind blowing, but we soon forgot about the cold on a brisk walk with plenty to see along the way.  Our usual café had closed down, but the new one Sue took us to was every bit as welcoming.  Thank you, Sue, for a very enjoyable walk!

Janet's Dreve du Comte Walk

What a glorious afternoon for a walk after the cabin fever of the Brussels Close-down!

The first surprise was the number of families taking advantage of the unexpected day off and the fine winter weather to take their families into the forest.

The second was just how lovely a day it really was to walk!  Glorious blue sky, fresh winter weather: so a number of  atmospheric photos were taken!

Some of us went on to have a coffee at a new place spotted by Anne: Les filles de Paris (or was it Papa?!)  Anyway, there was plenty of parking to be had on Blvd de Souverain, just past Rue Nisard, and we were made welcome.

Paulette's walk in Bois de la Cambre

Today was a real fun day. The forecast rain didn't stay with us more than half an hour. So we had a very invigorating walk, first in the lovely park of La Cambre then in the Forêt de Soignes. During the walk that lasted 2 hours, we exchanged all sorts of useful information, solved all the problems of the world and laughed a lot. When we finally went our own ways after a cappuccino (or was it a flat 

white) in  the very trendy Café de la Presse everyone said what a nice afternoon it had been.

News from Ryoko

Dear walking friends,

I hope this finds you well. It has been about 3 months since I came back to Japan, and I miss Belgium and all of you a lot! I think it may be a little late but I'd like to say "thank you " to all of you for having me with you in a walking group and for being such great companions! Whenever I see the wicwalker blog, I wish I could be there with you. 

Here are some photos of my beautiful dog and a street near my apartment. 

Enjoy your walk and show me your smile on the blog!

love,

Ryoko
