It was a lovely day, and for once I was not staying in the EU quarter but in a 
hotel next to the Rogier metro station. So I explored the area just north of 
the centre.

Those who know Lucky Luke will appreciate the delightful irony of this mural:

I walked towards Place Sainte-Catherina, a lovely square that has been among my 
favourites since I lived in Brussels in the 1990s:

A bit of nostalgia; I used to take my son to this restaurant for traditional 
Belgian food such as stoemp when he was 8 or 9 years old:

And I have always loved this little statue just outside the restaurant in the

Did I ever mention that I love Brussels?
