Cook&Book

I was visiting my husband's family in Brussels and my father-in-law invited us for a brunch at Cook&Book, a great concept bookstore/restaurant.

The food is amazing, with great atmosphere and an excellent book selection. Cook&Book is divided into eight sections spread within three buildings each one with a different theme and design (music, cooking, arts, travelling, comic books, children's, etc.). If you are ever in Brussels, I strongly recommend it!

Swap homes???

Ok, so this service is definetely not for me since I do not own a mansion on a deserted island or hidden in the fields of Provence, but I found it cool and perhaps you reader have a beautiful luxurious house or flat somewhere in this world that you'd like to swap with someone who owns a property in Thailand or Brazil... who knows?

The web is very easy to navigate, visiting the photos of the properties is fantastic (makes you dream!) and membership is not at all that expensive: 225 UK pounds a year.

Hopefully someone will start the same business but with middle range properties, I'd be delighted to participate!!!
