This young fox was standing at the entrance of Ebbsfleet International railway station when I arrived back in the country last night. Contrary to what the photo shows there were scores of people streaming out towards the fox, and passing within two metres on either side of it. At this time of the year young foxes are sometimes abandoned, or orphaned, and it may have been enticed to the station by the smell of food emanating from within.

This is one of 23 Cyclocity stations in Brussels that have a combined total of 250 bikes for rent. To be honest I wasn’t very impressed: the stations I saw all looked empty, I saw very few people out-and-about on bicycles in Brussels, I didn’t see any cycle lanes except in the leafy suburbs, and the city seems very car-friendly with wide avenues and fast-moving traffic. Given that I am used to traffic driving on the left rather than the right hand side of the road I would need more encouragement to take my life in my hands in this way. Apparently Brussels, like Rome, is built on seven hills and cycling has not taken off here in the same way as it has in nearby European cities.

What can one say: I would have given you full marks for style for spelling your “rocket” the traditional (French) way, but you lost them by introducing the grocers’ apostrophy.

Making their return to the skies above Southern England. For the past few days (in a manner similar to the “snowlidays” of winter) we have experienced something of the past. Our skies were never as empty this week since the end of the Second World War.

Remember the days when people could smoke in public places? When designers even put handy ashtrays next to the urinals? Seeing a reminder of this time (above) brought to mind what LP Hartley wrote in his novel The Go Between:
The past is a different world. They do things differently there.

This is a popular ice-cream parlour in Brussels. Fortunately for me they sell two flavours of ice-cream made with rice milk.

I’m not sure whether the message of the graffitist is aligned with that of the business owner.
