Football mania...

Belgium is slowly going crazy.
Football / soccer is not my favourite sport; but the World cup match between Belgium and the USA yesterday evening was exciting and impressive, of the highest standard.

 

In short, it cannot better be described as Ricky Gervais did in a tweet:

Colours of the earth.

Yesterday, April 22nd, was international Earth Day.

Earth day was first organized in 1970 to promote ecology and respect for life on the planet as well as to encourage awareness of the growing problems of air, water and soil pollution.
I came accross these beautiful pictures.
Have a look at the astonishing, colourful beauty of our planet!
Who would not want to preserve this?

Did you know that every year , on Easter Sunday,  there is a traditional Easter Egg Hunting in Brussels parks?

Easter bunnies are going to bring 300 000 eggs in over ten parks of Brussels.

Here is a link for more information.

Music for your heart and soul.

This post isn't about sewing.

I came accross this video on Youtube : a man is playing the contrabas on a square in a Spanish city. A  little girl throws a coin in his hat. Look what happens:

I found this so beautiful and moving.
I hope you like it.
Have a nice weekend
