Lifestyle
We work every day and enjoy week-end activities in and around the city of Brussels. When possible we go and enjoy the nearby Forest de Soignes for a walk, a jog or cycling.
We used to bake our bread in the home machine, enjoy hombrewed expresso and tea. We also sit at night talking in front of the open oven in the living room, although we have a very good TV projector with extraordinary sound to look at good programs and films.
We enjoy family games, we have a lot for all ages. Ranging from wood games to cards and table games.
Nicolas is a very active do-it-yourself person, working as much as he can to improve the house and cooking. He has built himself most of the furniture and the kitchen. He repairs most things at home.
Catherine loves playing music, gardening, cooking and preparing nice meals. We have a lot of equipement and kitchen books to get more ideas. Nicolas usually prepares the desserts but Catherine has an extraordinary recipe of a chocolate mousse.
We practice sports : walking, rowing, sailing, swimming and every day cycling. We enjoy putting the bikes on the large car and going somewhere for the day.
The house has very recently completely been refitted and is very well maintained and cleaned. It is always tidied.
We have a nice workshop to do all sorts of woodworks or metalworks.
We have a 1/2 long piano and 2 guitars.
