My absolute favourite part of the Efteling is the Fairytale Forest, where all my beloved traditional fairytales take flesh. Here, you can see the talking tree, which is one of the many scenes that will awaken your inner child —

One of the things I like most about autumn/winter is that I get to wear my good old adventure boots, from cliffs to theme parks and forest paths to Christmas markets —

I am never happier than when I am donning a hat I like!
This picture was taken at the Memorial Museum in Mons, a museum dedicated to war in Mons and its region. It is a ridiculously brilliant thing, and you all should visit it. If you want to read more about the Memorial and the legend of the Angels of Mons, I have written a piece about all that for The Junction which you can find by clicking the link in my bio. It’s one of the few things I have ever written that I truly love —

Something a little different today, with this view from inside the belfry of Mons, which is a good example of Baroque civilian architecture in Belgium. The (brand new) stairs reminded me of Escher’s 1953 lithograph, Relativity (you know which one I am talking about) —
