Dear Friends,?

We are finally settled in Bruxelles, after a rather long hiatus finding a place, getting all our stuff here, ?getting straight and most frustratingly getting phone and internet connected. I must apologise to ?those who tried to phone on our mobile, I took the number over the phone from Diane and in doing ?so (fool that I am) added an extra 3. Anyhow the details at the top of this email are checked and correct. Our email ?addresses remain the same.?

So here we are in Bruxelles enjoying unseasonably wonderful weather for weeks on end. Bright ?sunny days without a cloud in the sky. No doubt the effects of global warming, but hey, right here, ?right now its an added treat to the other joys of being out of London and here.?

What a relief it is to find ourselves in a smaller, more manageable and gentler city. Brussels has all ?that we require and more; it?s easy and cheap to get around, we don?t need a car and most of the ?places we need to go are within a fifteen minute walk; including the Sablon, the antiques area of the ?city which after London is a delight. Loads of proper antiques and art shops of all kinds and stuff to ?buy, even a rug or two.?

During an intensive month long search for an apartment (we walked our arses off) we got to know ?the city and we like it. We fancied the idea of an apartment in an Art Nouveau town house but ?ended up in a wonderful large apartment (with guest bedroom and bathroom) in an early 90s ?building overlooking a small ?place? (not quite a square) in a lively neighbourhood, close to ?everything.?

Without extolling the delights of being in Brussels at great length, thus far, it is a welcome, positive ?and energising change for us both and Barney too. We are very much liking living here and running ?our business from here although we remain a UK based business paying our VAT & taxes there.?

If you are going to be in the area give us a call and come by. We are always buying interesting and ?beautiful things of all sorts so you never know what you may find. And Diane is a very fine cook.?

Needless to say if you have anything weird and wonderful that you think we might take a liking to ?don?t hesitate to send us a pic.?

Best wishes from both of us.?

Alan
