Vandaag geef ik het woord aan mijn oud-klasgenote en vitaliteitscoach / voedingsconsulent Annelieke van Woerkom. Samen met haar man Benito kwam ze vorig jaar speciaal voor een Ottolenghi foodie tour naar Londen toe. Geen idee wie deze chef-kok is en waarom je zijn gerechten zou moeten kennen?

I’m fortunate to have seen some beautiful places on our planet already, but there’s always room for dreams. And my dreams include visiting these 10 bucket list destinations.

There are countless secret London landmarks. No matter where you are there’s history above and beneath your feet. You often walk past them without even knowing. Public executions, London’s oldest church, creepy skulls and bone flavoured water. What more could you want from a city?
Who doesn’t miss those days when you could still play with flashy toys that had all sorts of buttons you could push and turn, producing animal sounds and wild flickering lights without people staring at you?

In mijn maandoverzicht voor december schreef ik al wat over mijn kunstzinnige uitstapjes en ik wilde daar in mijn Nederlandstalige blog nog verder bij stilstaan.

In today’s episode of my monthly Dutch-language blog post I’m writing about my Brexit anxiety, which is definitely ‘a thing’. // Ik krijg sinds het Referendum vragen van familie en vrienden in Nederland waaruit blijkt dat ze niet echt op de hoogte zijn van wat Brexit nu eigenlijk inhoudt.
