Planning a trip to the Mainland

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

So Kerry and I are thinking of visiting Belgium this Summer. Just to warn you all, and/or prepare you for our incoming... :twisted:

Me too Mark, it's so long overdue it's getting silly. Was gonna wait to see if that ramshackle outfit we all love for some reason announced their usual summer gig over there. Doubtless they won't this year now.

My hometown Mechelen is a nice little city. And it has a cafe with some 500 different beers. Let me know if you're searching for the itinerary :innocent:
I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.

You must be a romantic soul, Mark :innocent:

A nice gathering must be arranged, that's a no-brainer... and yeah, I'll bring the cake Dave, so you have to come too ;D

Don't know exactly where and when yet, probably be a multi-stop itinerary, I think I'll drive onto the Hull-Zeebrugge ferry so we might do a mini-tour :lol:

Debs, Kerry and I want to take Jos and you for a meal... And Kerry says she'll bring some bracelets for Sedean. ;D

Aww guys, it's a date then :wink: when we know what the dates are.
Give huge hugs & kisses to Kerry from us all & tell her Sedean got all excited! :notworthy: :kiss: It'll be good to see you both again...



...and that goes for ALL of you, it's been a long time since we've seen each other and you are all very special friends! ;D :notworthy:
