Stories from my walks – van Noordtkade

I’m fascinated by the stories behind Amsterdam’s street names. Particularly those streets that are named after people.

This is van Noordtkade, in the Westerpark, named after Olivier van Noort.

An apt title for a song, during these days of global quarantine and self-isolation.

One of my favourite poems is Fancy, by Keats. I often catch myself reciting it.

Visited the Watch 2019 exhibition two months ago.

An intense flavour. Smoky. Puts me in mind (ever so slightly) of the Lagavulin 16.
