While I also like the original version by Bon Iver, I preferred to share this version of Skinny Love by Birdy. Can you believe this girl is only 14 years old?
Read MoreIn Memoriam, Wouter Weylandt
After watching the final kilometers of today’s emotional Giro stage, I wanted to share the words of poet Willie Verhegghe, as cited by Sporza tv commentator Karl Vannieuwkerke. Renners Sterven Niet Renners sterven niet, ze verdwijnen alleen maar uit het zicht eens zij de laatste finish hebben overschreden en de snelheid van het leven hen…

Wouter Weylandt RIP
I choked back tears today because I can’t begin to say how much you’ve shaped this boy, these last ten years or more. My friends we’ve seen it all, triumphs to drunken falls and our bones are broken still, but our hearts are joined until, time slips its tired hand into our tired hands we’ve…

Happy Mother’s Day
First of all, Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in the world! In our family, we usually have a double celebration during the Mother’s Day weekend as my mom celebrates her birthday on May 9th. Yes, it happens now and then that her birthday and Mother’s Day are the same day. When picking a…

Postagram
Today I had my first Postagram delivered. Postagram, you say? Yes, that’s one of the new apps I recently discovered. I’m not really honest here, because the official app isn’t available in the Belgian iTunes store just yet. Thankfully you can also use the web-based client. This is the Postagram that was delivered to me…

Why? Well, I spent quite a few hard earned euros on it and since I am buying photography equipment, I’m…

Lila Grace – Leather bracelet
Last week, I visited Antwerp to attend the start of the 2011 edition of the Scheldeprijs. After some obligatory Starbucks (hi, my name is Kelly and I am slightly addicted to anything Starbucks), the start of the Scheldeprijs (obviously), a delicious lunch (courtesy of Brasserie Appelmans, Papenstraatje 1), we headed towards the shops in the…

Mattentaart
Last Sunday we attended the Ronde van Vlaanderen at 3 different places : the start in Bruges, the cobbles of Doorn (Oudenaarde area) and of course we were present when the riders climbed the famous Muur of Geraardsbergen. I’m not going to bore you with the events of the day (basically driving, getting out of…

Sunny afternoon walk in Bulskampveld
The boyfriend and I both like photography and forest walks. The sunny weekend quickly developed into the plan of doing a sunny afternoon forest walk. Minor issue? We always go for a walk in either Tillegem or Beisbroek (Bruges area). We wanted to taste something different and headed out for Bulskampveld (Beernem area) on Saturday…
Read MoreRonde van Vlaanderen
Inevitable. It was inevitable that I would write something about the ‘Ronde van Vlaanderen’. Forget Christmas, we’re talking about the ‘Ronde’ here, a day that all cycling fans are celebrating. They’re even celebrating in Brazil, from what I’ve just heard. Every year, de Ronde gets bigger and bigger. This year marks the entry of the…
