I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Wandering in Flanders Field
I spent the day wandering over farmland exploring WWI battlefields in Mesen, buying farm fresh eggs and strawberries.
I accepted an invitation to coffee in the farmhouse kitchen, adding fresh cow milk to that coffee and listening while the Mesen dialect Dutch flowed round me ...

OOooh, lovely poppies.
What's for breakfast this morning, a nice fat farm fresh egg omelette?
Thanks, I was delighted by the poppies ... they were almost over.
Hmmm, it was poached eggs on toast for dinner last night. I was the only one there for dinner ... I think lunch may consist of an egg spread on bread.
They are exquisite ... I will never eat supermarket eggs again.
Did all those souls turn into lovely flowers?
I think so anil ... the flowers are beautiful enough to be fragile souls.
