I’ve been meaning to take up writing here again, but I have not made a sincere effort to find the time to be honest. So I find myself now with an abundance of time and few things to do with this global pandemic keeping me indoors. I don’t mean this to be my journal on struggles and perils during these unprecedented times, because so far I am one of the fortunate ones. So partly I’d like this to be my journal through the COVID-19 pandemic, and partly to provide myself with an escape by revisiting past travels, and perhaps write on cooking.
