Loving your posts Laura and getting a peek into your life since we last saw each other eons ago. I’m now out of the ‘filthiest’ city and in super-clean Berkshire - but have retained my love of filth. 😘

Getting flashbacks of your old room on the Prinsengracht, 20-odd years ago. Never change, Laura. Safe travels 🍀

Haha, sadly, when it comes to primordial mess, I don't think I'll ever change

It really is all about people. When I’ve returned to places I hold amazing memories about, I’ve realised it was actually the people who were there at the time who had left the lasting impression.

Yeah I agree. I do think you can connect with the streets and buildings of cities themselves - I did with Amsterdam, living there so many years. But ultimately it's about the people.

But of course, and thanks for giving me the idea of posting photos and writing about how I don't have time to write!
