waiting for farther bruin

Saturday evening we took a walk in the Ijzermonding, looking forward
for the Farther Bruin sailing team to arrive from Ramsgate.
They ended up on the third place! Well done boys!

the adventures of emil

My cousin and his son came by. It was a warm and lovely day. 

It's a pleasure to see Emil discover the world, full of wonder and 

excitement.

My mum and I worked all day in the garden. In the meantime
the Farther Bruin was sailing from Ostend to Ramsgate.
I hope they arrived save in the harbor by now.
