Belgian weekend

A busy couple of days in Belgium.
Firstly we were in the lovely Mechelen, as part of their Mechelen hoort Stemmen Festival in wonderful sunshine...

In the evening, we went to Boechout, and sang as part of another Harmony season.... Africapella from Soweto are coming later in the year.

Then this morning it was off to the TV studio for the Belgian 'Andrew Marr show' [no super injunctions on show, of course]: VRT - 7 dag show - we were there at 53' and for the last 6 minutes [interview and song].
It was difficult to avoid the amazing goings-on in London on Friday:- and not for the last time, I am sure, I was upstaged by my son who sang in the Chapel Royal Choir at the Wedding.... in fact the TV showed him again in the studio, so all could see! I managed to sing without crying....

There's much more Belgium for us in the coming months... excellent! Gastronomically, it beats France (on points)...
