 the puppet, me and Hilde by irisbe
Today her collection of prams has grown immense and she possesses some real unique pieces, some of them dating from late 1800ties!
Doing literature research on the topic, she found not much is really published about it.
From the scarce info the got gather together she made a very comprehensive overview of the history of these prams.
More really interesting pictures at my fotki album:

 Flodderke our cat by irisbe
As we lived in the neighborhood of open fields, she had plenty of space and plenty of mice to chase!
Flodderke adopted us. We met up with her while posting pamflets and she followed us all the way until dead tired she begged to be let in. Could I refuse? She was such a sweet kitten of not yet 7 months old then. She never went away anymore.

 Kashmir our cat by irisbe
They keep the mice away...
but this one never learned to chase any!
Meet Kashmir, our male cat. We adopted him when he was about 3 years old. His previous owner had to go to an elderly house where pets were not allowed.
So despite his difficult character, we decided to give it a chance and give him a new home.

The famous shaken strawberry tarts.
If you want to make them yourself: Buy some (very delicious) tarts at bakery J. de Castro. Put them in the box at the luggage carrier of your bicycle. Then go as fast as you can for 10 minutes. The result must look something like in this picture.
To assemble them see the next tip........ Leave a Comment

 the dogs of Mortsel by irisbe
I didn't knew at first what kind of animal this was when this lady past by.
In a glimpse of a view it looked like My Little Poney, but less colourful and not in plastics!
I had to find out!
Well she explained that these were "naked Chinese dogs". One of the most obvious things is that the dog is really hairless, except for a bit on his head, but they also have eyes in 2 different colours.
Pity on this picture you can't see that very well. Leave a Comment

I must admitt that I can't find it a really beautiful dog, but it is sure a very special looking dog!
You can be assured of people turning their head when you walk with these ones! Leave a Comment

He made okra and Pounded yam and I am pretty sure I misspelled this...but it sounds like it if you read it.
It is a kind of Spinach like vegetable and a bit sticky with a sort of unbaked bread. You have to eat it with your hands.
Babu, on one of his last days in Belgium joined us for dinner.
