I'm glad that you liked Brussels - next time you should see the African museum and the grandiose gardens. Jake would love the shrunken head.

Brilliant post and a couple of links for the puppet theatre:

more about the theatre.

Who said shrunken head?

There's a shrunken head at the African museum. You'd love it, Jake.

Ooh. I must check out this museum. Is it by any chance in Belgium?
I've got my fingers crossed!

OMG! how could you possibly go to brussels and not try the national dish: chocolate beer waffles! english heathen.

>an under-advertised theme park called Bogland

Hi -
I have just come across your site. I’m Stefan from www.diyfather.com and we are an interactive forum for fathers. I was wondering whether or not you would be interested in an article or link exchange. We are also doing a series of podcasts with blogging fathers from around the globe – would you be up for that?

Regards,
Stefan Korn

Hello Stefan.

Yes, broadly speaking I would be up for that. Don't spend as much tome blogging (reading and writing) as I should these days, but fathers are special too and don't sometimes get the attention they deserve. After all we're not all bad, absent, violent philanderers.
So, er, what next? Perhaps I should mail you.
