Almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

PhotoHunt is a free for all this week so I shall use it as an excuse to show some last photos from Bruges. My description of the weekend is coming to a close and soon we will be on the ferry back home.
I love the fire in the reception area of the hotel that we stayed in. It wasn’t working when we arrived but luckily it was due to it being cleaned and maintained and it was up and running again the next day.
For more of this weeks PhotoHunt pictures check out tnchick.

Christmas takes its toll….
A gain of 4.5lb over 2 weeks. To be fare it wasn’t Christmas as such or due to over indulgence, there was no extra food in the house. It was due to visiting family for meals which included, Italian, Indian and Chinese. Not entirely healthy weight loss options, especially when experienced all in one week!
I wasn’t the only one at Weight Watchers this evening with a gain 
But from today I am back on track and tracking

…Cup Cake Heaven
Earlier in the day I had noticed a perfect shop for morning coffee, but I was overruled and told that it wasn’t the right time for morning coffee. I did however manage to work my way back there for afternoon tea
The shop is associated with a hand made chocolatier of over 30 years. The drinks are served with home made chocolates and the hot chocolate drink is served with real chocolate too.
I have to confess to succumbing to a cup cake, although it did have meringue on the top rather than butter sugar cream
PS: The days walking tallied up to 9 miles and I ended up with sore feet, I think the treat was well earned Later in the day everyone else was in bed by 10pm!!

On the way back to the more beaten track (and lunch) we took in some more churches (exteriors only) and a very nice canal view. After lunch we all split up and went our different ways. I visited the fine arts museum, but it’s normal exhibition was put away so that an exhibition of Van Eyck/Oude 15th century religious paintings could be displayed.
The exhibition was interesting to a point, but there are only so many similar religious paintings you can enjoy before getting a little bored. After all that walking I allowed myself to succumb to temptation but more on that later
