Wimereux, la plus belle station du Nord

We once owned a weekend apartment in Wimereux. Makes me happy just thinking about it.


Clare, Kaffee Haus, Lisbon, 2020

Highly recommended if you need a break from Portuguese or bland international cuisine. Authentically Austrian sausages and schnitzel, washed down with Gruner Veltliner or Austrian beer.

Notice the copy of Bob Dylan’s latest album propped nonchalantly on the chair next to Clare. I’d just bought it in FNAC. Very properly they don’t give out plastic bags. The disc (discs it’s a double) was shrink wrapped so I just carried it out like that. It got home unscathed and it’s fantastic late-period Dylan. His best in years, no question.

Kirkstall Abbey, Leeds, February 2020

Before the pandemic affected the north of England, but with an appropriate sense of foreboding.
