Our latest trip to Zeebrugge was on 7th September 2011, a very windy day, though thankfully it didn't rain while we were in Zeebrugge!
That was the windiest I had seen Zeebrugge, and the kites were up! I made a video but the bits with the strong zoom are very shaky, you can still see the waves crashing up, the kites and a big ship coming in to port.
It was much more sheltered near the West Hinder boat.
We had ribs and chips for dinner in our favourite Old Barrel and then a nice cold glass of Hoegaarden in our other favourite Old Steamer.
I hope to see Zeebrugge again this year, I love it there!

Roast grouse for New Year
Our first Sunday dinner of 2012 was something I had wanted to try for years, but had never been able to get hold of - grouse.
We went to a food lovers market in Malton last November, and we were pleased to see a stall selling game, including the elusive grouse. We just had to buy some, and so we bought two.
Although some recipes suggest one grouse per person, we cut one in half, meaning that we have one left for another time. It was just the right size.
The grouse, with a few game chips and the bacon it had been topped with
We served the grouse with game chips, bread sauce and steamed cabbage, which were perfect accompaniments.
I always enjoy game, I only ever eat free range meat, and grouse is the ultimate free range bird.
