Amongst the purchases that have been arriving sporadically have been three Will Ferguson books, so now I’m reading Beauty Tips from Moose Jaw, and loving it!
And, in a fit of good timing, I was contacted by an old university flattie: Alison. Alison’s a Canadian living in Belgium with her fabulous husband Andrew, and she has an excellent blog about life an as expat: Cheeseweb. She asked all of us flatmates from university, who all happen to be expats, to write an article for her blog about our expat experiences.

I loved Beauty Tips from Moosejaw! Great read and made me very nostalgic. I may have gone just a bit crazy when I discovered a booth at the Brussels Christmas market, run by a guy from Quebec, selling Canadian maple products. He had MAPLE COOKIES! Of course I hadn't eaten those in years but because they were in Brussels... well needless to say I spent a good 6 euro on the bag and we polished off half of it on the ferris wheel. Not one of my best moments...
