Kingdom of Belguim, the constitutional present monach being King Albert II. I have visited a small area of Belguim, but when I listed what I knew of the country I am ashamed to admit very little. The highly praised and priced hand made lace from Bruge. My most favourite lager is a well known Belguim beer. Chocolates from Belguim yummmee!. The world's most favourite and well known Belgian detective is of course Monsieur Hercule Poirot, from the pen of Agatha Christie. The European Parliament is based in Brussels, the European Union Flag with the stars and the Belgian flag. There are 3 main languages - Flemish, French and German. All of these are detailed on my postcard.

Week 6 - Postcard Challenge
For Week 6 Darcy hasn't sent us far, in fact just over the border to Belguim, or if given it's true name it is the
Kingdom of Belguim, the constitutional present monach being King Albert II. I have visited a small area of Belguim, but when I listed what I knew of the country I am ashamed to admit very little. The highly praised and priced hand made lace from Bruge. My most favourite lager is a well known Belguim beer. Chocolates from Belguim yummmee!.

The postcard will of course be delivered by owl post from Mr. Mrs. Grainger, currently in Belguim to their daughter Hermione at the Hogwart's School of Magic, somewhere in the United Kingdom. Roll on Monday, for our next destination. Hope I will be able to do more stamping. I'm off to post this on Darcy's blog, check out the log on my side bar, and to visit some of my fellow travellers and check out their postcards.
