My son and I fly back to the UK tonight to spend a week with my parents down on the sunny East Sussex coast, which culminates next Saturday with a trip up to The Valley for the Addicks’ first game of the new season.

My Mum for the longest time has had on her ‘bucket list’ a trip on the Eurostar, so in the middle of the week my son and I are taking her to Brussels for a couple of days. I think, hope, that the crazy stuff going on at the moment is restricted to the freight trains and not passenger. Certainly trains seem to be getting through unhindered.

None of us have been to the Belgium capital before, which looks as if it has many layers of different cultures. We’re looking forward to exploring it’s mix of art and architecture plus scoffing loads of chocolate and waffles, maybe not neccesarily in that order.

And if we can find an on-loan striker we will be sure to bring him back, legally of course!

    Hi CA

    Eurostar should be ok. We have just been to Paris. You will find plenty of beer and Chocolate plus the above statue in Damm Square. Enjoy. Just remember it is very hilly.
