It’s winter, I’m at home in Belgium. Not much more to say really – my main purpose here is to revive my blog which I have neglected for such a long time. In a few days I will be traveling again, to Tanzania, for a month. I should have some nice pictures and stories to write about so this is just a warm-up!

Warm-up indeed – when it’s not grey and wet (which is most of the time), clear skies mean icy nights and frosty mornings with a bit of that longed-for sunshine. Nice days for a walk in the woods, the local birds coming in to breeding plumage and the trees still deep in their winter sleep but showing buds on the tips of their branches – spring may be just a dream right now but it will come.
