Belgium Visit & Ukraine support

Thank you Thank you Thank you Eurostar for your bargain seats to help me visit my Family Link Up nip over to the family link up blog to see update on that visit to Oostende.

But look at the kindness going and coming back to help Ukrainian refugees.

In Brussels Midi Belgium Red Cross wait at every train from Germany to meet and greet refugees. Most importantly ensure safety especially as women and children are travelling alone!

At St Pancras London volunteers from Camden Council meet and greet those travelling free on the Eurostar..( that have the present government demand for visas!) On my way back waiting to board Eurostar in Brussels 2 Ukrainian brothers turned up 19yrs & 12 yrs been sent alone to meet their Auntie in London. Mama & Papa back in Kiev. The staff were so kind & caring ...and I could not help Gran hugging the young brother as so so brave and so heartbreaking to know all that they have seen and experienced. Such a wrench to leave parents behind. I told the elder brother, who spoke English to tell his auntie to inform her MP of their arrival to get more help. Plus to contact City of Sanctuary UK to get extra support.
