One year on

Saturday, 24th March marks my first year in Belgium (more or less).

So, I thought of having a celebration of sorts; a bit of a soiree (with singing, if desired) at my flat on the same day.

It will start around 16h00 and continue until the wine has run out. It's pretty much a come-as-you-are, pop-around-if-you-feel-like-it affair. Chilled. Like the wine.

If you fancy popping over, give me a call on +32 494 144 781 and I'll give you all the details.

The Sarajevo Rose

Every image has a story; have a look at this street art in Sarajevo:




And the story explaining it from Wooster Collective:

"As I was passing through Sarajevo I couldn't help but notice the effects of the Bosnian War. It's everywhere, in the buildings, in the people, in the graveyards that stretch blocks and blocks. But the most impactful of these markings are on the street. While walking the city you are sure to come across a splattering pattern of pock-marks from where a mortar round hit.

To signify places of significant deaths, the explosion marks are filled in with red resin to create the Sarajevo Rose."
