Watch out Marie Claire!

No plain old advertising junk mail for Belgium! The stores' promotional leaflets that get crammed through our mailbox are actually prepared to inform and entertain you. So, in the Brico catalogue (think Bunnings) you'll find pictures of tools and garden furniture with their low low prices PLUS a recipe or two and an extensive calendar of events (with descriptions)for the region. In the Manna catalogue (think Red Dot), not only are there crrrazy specials on crockery sets, pogo sticks and other handy household items, but also a probing interview with Moby and a travel review on escapes to the English countryside. I now wait with bated breath, reading glasses at the ready, for the letterbox clunk.
