From January 2015 to December 2017 – three years – Mrs SC worked in Brussels and I lived there most of the time. I wrote a lot of my Stops and Stories posts in and about Brussels. Here below I collect all the posts tagged Brussels on this site.
Bon appétit!
The William Klein “5 Cities” exhibition at the Botanique gallery, central Brussels. No photography of the photography, they said, but you can take pictures to show how the photos are hung. So I did.
Little brown bag: The coming of obligatory separated organic rubbish collection to Brussels. I apply it with Swedish-style rigour, though no one else seems to.
Jazz heroes from the roll-up blinds of Chausée de Louvain in Saint-Joos-ten-Noode. Many of the photos in this gallery originally appeared as illustrations a Stops and Stories post – “All that Jazz”.
Belgian beer isn’t to everyone’s taste – in fact some clearly think it’s unholy! Snapshots of people seen and overheard recently at Brussels Airport.
You can only see the jazz heroes of Saint Joos after hours. A walk through the gallery of jazz musicians on the roller shutters of shops along the Chausée de Louvain in Saint-Joos-ten-Noode, Brussels.
Remembrance Day 2016 as commemorated in Brussels and a meditation (or a rant) on the meaning of the day, plus an apology for the recent break in service. Also a little gallery of photos.

The Saint Job Fair in Uccle: giants, a brass band, death and the baker, a boy in a bubble, a jousting knight and a sleeping cat – among others things.
United Music of Brussels was a day of music to launch a new season of classical music, and I heard it announced over the public transort address system.
Erasmus House in Anderlecht: a guided tour of the house gives an introduction to Erasmus of Rotterdam – Renaissance scholar, Christian humanist, key figure in the pre-Reformation – and kicks up some questionable facts.
