Welcome to Bruges, Belgium, a little town of bridges, gingerbread houses overlooking the canals, colourful buildings and brilliantly vibrant orange trees in late autumn.

I visited a friend in her very ‘grammable new home, where I spent the lovely last glimpse of warm weather wandering the cobblestone streets, crossing bridges and stepping out of the way of hundreds of tourists and too many horse-drawn carriages.

Seriously, look at that reflection on the water! The whole town is cute little houses perched onto canals, and you can just imagine sitting in a window like that, reading a book and watching as the canal boats drift by.

I quite like the look of this tall pale blue building above, with its huge gothic-style door and arched window frames.

Thanks for having me, Bruges!
