We did it! âErich Heckel in Flandersâ opens on Friday 11 October @mskgent The book, published by @mercatorfondsfondsmercator tells the story of Erich Heckelâs stay in Oostende during the First World War. Over 130 artworks from that period are gathered together in Ghent for the first time, in the similarly titled exhibition. Itâs an amazing history, a wonderful oeuvre, and the publication is a joy to behold. Heckel and Ensor became the best of friends during the most difficult years. See the works, and read the book, which it was an honour to translate. #heckelinflanders #erichheckel #erichheckelprints #heckel #museumoffineartsgent #msk #mskgent #germanexpressionism #diebrucke #diebrĂŒke #jamesensor #ensor #ensorinoostende #flanders #oostende #ostend #ostende #firstworldwar #eerstewereldoorlog #worldwarone #mercatorfonds

What else have I been doing? Spent a fun week in HastiĂšre on the banks of the Maas with the children and their friends. Fishing, swimming, reading, knitting, cooking and kayaking (not me!). The weather was perfect âïž Visited the ChĂąteau de FreĂżr with its 300-year-old orange trees đThank you @rimram.be #hastiere #hastiĂšre #dinant #ardennes #chateaudefreyr #chĂąteaudefreĂżr #descentdelalesse #riverlesse #maas #meuse #rivermaas #rivermeuse #belgium
30 September is International Translation Day! So here I am to mark the occasion. Itâs celebrated every year on 30 September, the feast day of St Jerome, who translated the Bible and is considered to be the patron saint of translators. #internationaltranslationday #internationaldayoftranslation #translator #translatorslife #translatoratwork #unesco #freelancetranslator #translatorsofinstagram #oostende #ostende #ostend

Remembering my wonderful father-in-law, Paul Van Den Abeele, who was born on this day, 10 August, in 1929. He would have been 95 today! Press photographer for âDe Standaardâ for 49 years. And my mother-in-law, Miet, is still going strong at 90. Here she is, in a photo taken this afternoon, raising a glass to Paul! #paulvandenabeele #10august1929 #destandaard #pressphotographer #fatherinlaw #aalst #birthday #happybirthday
