If you seek my monument, look around you. Architect Jean Delhaye pictured in Victor Horta's 1893 Tassel mansion, which he bought in 1976 and restored. Delhaye sacrificed his own career to save his old teacher's masterpieces. My Brussels Times Magazine article.

At my school, it was French for all till 16, paired with Latin/Greek for top stream, German for the intermediates then Spanish, as a non-literary language, for the academically-meh.
I mean personally yo puedo hablar Espanol pero la primera idioma I learnt at school in France was English, entonces it only feels fair that la gente aqui does the same, thank you very much
Spanish is clearly now the world’s coolest language. So why do we push British children to learn French? | Gary Nunn

It is magnificent
The Elizabeth line is exceeding every expectation. It’s now the busiest rail service in the UK with more than 750 million journeys completed. A major lift for London’s economy and for towns like Reading. Smart infrastructure investment works.
How the Elizabeth Line has changed Reading
Business, tourism and the housing market have all seen significant changes since the Elizabeth Line opened in 2022.

The Brussels water operator Vivaqua blames the recent spare of sinkholes on the terrible state of the sewers, with 12% of the network needing urgent attention. The recent negotiations to form a new regional government placed sewers as a top priority. Then they collapsed too.

At the bottom of the garden of a 1932 house in Schaerbeek. What looks like an Olympics-themed pergola retreat. The games were in LA that year and Belgium sent 32 athletes.

1922 stockbroker's house in Schaerbeek by Alfred Nyst, an engineer turned architect who took a sudden swerve from beaux-arts to modernism in his mid-forties. Perched above a fast road on the very edge of post-WW1 built-up Brussels, the garage bay takes the place of honour ahead of the front door.

Nick Abbot is being made to discuss the EU with an automated Tufton bullshit dispenser. It's been TEN years FFS. The actual anniversary is going to be a festival of national denial.
