Looking for Snow Boots

As we have several cms of snow here in Limburg, I went to buy my son some new snow boots yesterday. They had hundreds of pairs in Carrefour some weeks ago but yesterday not one pair in any size could be found in any shoe shop in the area. C&A had summer sandals but that is not much help right now.

Why don't shops stock products when we need them, not months in advance when we don't?

Snow Again in Limburg

We came back from the UK on Sunday night to find our village in Limburg covered in several cms of snow.

The boys went back to school on Monday walking in snow boots. I decided that was safer than slipping and sliding in the car, relying heavily on the ABS.

Snow is expected again in the UK and they are already talking about closing schools, not going to work. Typical. We manage to turn up in Belgium so why not England?

No Smoking in Belgian Cafés

Nearly 77% of Limburg cafés are going to become non-smoking from 1 January when the no-smoking ban comes into force. They will keep a choice of warm snacks on their menu so smokers will have to go outside, on the terrace or in an enclosed smoking room. The other 23% prefer smokers so will no longer serve any food.

"Liefst 76,9% van de Limburgse eetcafés schrapt op 1 januari hun kleine kaart met warm bereide gerechten niet. Zij moeten het roken in de zaak dus verbieden. Op 1 januari gaat het nieuwe rookverbod in, dat vandaag in het Staatsblad gepubliceerd wordt. Vanaf dan mag er niet meer gerookt worden in zaken waar ook eten geserveerd wordt.

Dit blijkt uit een grootscheepse rondvraag door deze krant onder 108 eetcafés in alle Limburgse gemeenten. Tot het einde van dit jaar is eten én roken in een gedeelte van de gelagzaal nog toegelaten in zogenaamde eetcafés. Na 1 januari mag men wel nog buiten, op het terras of in een afgesloten rookruimte een sigaret opsteken.

23,1% van de gecontacteerde eetcafés in de 44 Limburgse gemeenten schrappen de spaghetti’s of croque monsieurs op de kaart. Zij kiezen voor de rokers."

Winterland Hasselt 2009

Winterland is back in Hasselt from 21 November to 3 January. This German style Christmas market was extremely popular last year boasting the largest outdoor ice skating rink in Belgium, a big wheel and plenty of Christmas atmosphere. This year it is twice as big with a roller coaster.


De Kerstmarkt is deels overdekt waar de producten in sfeervolle stands worden aangeboden. Daarnaast staan over het plein diverse kerstchalets. De Kerstmarkt is dagelijks (ook op zondag) geopend van 11.00 tot 22.00 uur. In totaal telt de Kerstmarkt 64 deelnemers. En na een bezoek aan de kerstmarkt is het goed vertoeven in Café Winterland voor een glaasje Glühwein, een biertje, warme chocomel of een kop erwtensoep.

My name is Antonia Harrison and I am the English Hypnotherapist in Belgium. I help people make fast, positive change in the following areas:

- stop smoking (most smokers stop smoking in one session)
- stop unwanted habits eg nail-biting, blushing

- unblock disempowering fears eg failure or success!
- areas of personal development eg motivation, procrastination, perfectionism,
- regression ie going back into your past
- sexual and relationship problems (you'd be amazed how many ways hypnosis can help!)
- certain health problems, particularly if stress-related
- improving sports and business performance
- help with the fear of public speaking

English Hypnotherapist Belgium

I combine my hypnotherapy knowledge with NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), Ericksonian Hypnosis (metaphors or stories), clinical hypnosis and TimeLine Therapy.

NLP is:
* A tool for personal development.
* A model of effective communication.
* A means of modelling human behaviour.

I see clients at my home in Zolder, Limburg or in an office in Brussels or Berchem. Most sessions last about an hour. Longer PERSONAL BREAKTHROUGH SESSIONS may suit someone travelling from far away.

Small group sessions for STOP SMOKING WITH HYPNOSIS can also be arranged.

As Personal Development is my passion, I offer talks and workshops on various subjects to groups and companies, eg:

- Overcoming limiting beliefs
- NLP in sales
- NLP for teachers
- NLP for parents
- NLP for relationships
- How hypnosis can help your teenager or young person to cope
- Goal setting and achievement (using advanced Neurological Repatterning and Time Line Therapy)
- Understanding each other’s values (relationships or in a company)
- Change Procrastination into Motivation: Book Now!
- Persistence for winners
- Are you living your life or just existing?
- Can Prosperity and Spirituality go hand in hand?
- Is fear holding you back? What about Fear of Failure or even Fear of Success?
- What makes your customers buy from you?

I will also be offering NLP Practitioner Training in Belgium in 2010.
