We won't be spending as much time at the coast as we used to. The past weekend we undertook the last task to free the flat of all our personal stuff. Our cousin William and his mate came to pick up all the gear that was heading to the container park. A blessing, having two strong men to fetch and carry!
The week before, Christine's work colleague Stijn came with his small van to load all the boxes of household stuff and some small items of furniture (like two outdoor relax seats, a small cupboard made by our father, and a table that can be folded). By now we have given everything a place in our house here in Dendermonde.
Having help on Saturday morning, it left the afternoon free to do as we pleased. We enjoyed a great lunch at a bistro and made a nice walk along the beach and the promenade afterwards. Later, we met William and his wife Fabienne, plus their granddaughter Nora, to enjoy waffles and pancakes.
It was a nice weekend - the last one in Heist, at least this year. Probably we'll spend a couple of days per year at the coast in the future. There are enough places you can rent for a weekend or midweek, even with hotel service.
