hi again sue, do the supermarkets have a fish counter with mussells, oysters and crabs in tanks, like most french one do? i agree with the milk problem, we struggled each time in france, i'm lucky i don't drink milk, but susan has it all the time in coffee, she just takes the cartons of uht. does blaarmeersen have a "places to visit" nearby? as i went to our local library on thursday and they didn't have one book on belgium, (the price you have to pay for living in such an icolated part of the country i guess)
