An honourable death

Sunrise on Mt Fuji
I awoke at the Four Seasons hotel in Tokyo, feeling very cheerful. Then, I wondered why I was so cheerful. A 11-hour flight from London, with a 9-hour time zone difference does not quite qualify as a case for being cheerful. Then I realized. I was happy for my friends; for the progress they were [...]

I travelled from the Swiss Alps to meet Sofie’s daughter in Kinderdijk, a quaint little village about 10 km from Rotterdam. The name Kinderdijk is Dutch for “children’s dyke”. The folktale of the ‘Cat and the cradle’ originated here. I was admiring the windmills in the landscape. No wonder they were declared a UNESCO [...]
