too much sun in Belgium?

It was a very sunny weekend, and we had to sit in the shade. Check out Marie's long elegant neck! At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.
Swedish sandwich cake

Couldn't get fresh dill (supermarket had run out) so I used parsley instead. I think they liked it. At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.

another day, another Belgian beer

I think I could spend a year in Belgium and not repeat a beer. This time it was Houblon Chouffe. At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.
Luc and his bottled pear

Like the one in the shops, the trick to getting the pear in the bottle is to insert the tiny pear into it while still growing on the tree. Quite an achievement! At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.

Like the Australian "Poss Off" (possum repellent) this snail repellent is a fun play on words. At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.
apple tree pruning lesson

One thing I do know is how to prune apple trees, after doing two courses and loads of practice over the years. I gave Luc and Denis lessons in how to do it correctly. At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.

This branch had been all but destroyed by woodpeckers. Check out those holes! At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.

tarte au riz
| |

Odette is a pastrychef's daughter so she does not bake! But she bought the famous Belgian tarte au riz (a sweet rice flan) and it was delicious. Also an apricot flan - which I always love. At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.

I'm sure it's still a pain to have in the garden, but at least it is pretty! At Luc and Odette's house in Roy, in the Ardennes.
