Postcard Travels with Roland Poland - Week 6 Belgium

Today finds our ever optimistic hero, Roland Poland, very excited.  The Xong family have been invited to make a courtesy visit to the European Parliament in Brussels and will be travelling by train from their base in Paris.
He writes to his half-brother Malcolm
Hi Malcolm,
Getting excited cos we are going to Brussels.
Xui said something about all the MEP's jumping on the Gravy Train.
I hope we catch that one, so I'll take a big spoon just in case.  Well, you know how much I like gravy.
Got to go

Here is the page I made in Roland Poland's travel book. It is based on famous Belgians.
The postcard has been made with a brayer and stamps from Creative Expressions and Clarity.
Thank you for joining Roland Poland on his journey and do feel free to leave a comment - he finds them most encouraging.

  29. Love your Roland story. I'd take a spoon too but it wouldn't be for gravy. It would be to dip into the chocolate vat at the Belgium chocolate factories!
