Barry and I have moved onto Brugge in Belgium - the capital of European calligraphy - and I have been having a wonderful time!
It is such a delight to visit a city that honours and values lettering so much. Calligraphic renderings appear in so many business names and signs and house numbers.
It is a beautiful city for wandering in as well and we have walked miles each day on the cobbled streets, looking at the marvellous skylines and along the gorgeous canals. Here are some moments in Brugge...
First some lettering...
And then the skyline and canals...
