I don't publish on April, 1st anymore. Actually, I completely avoid the internet on that day. There is so much fake and lies out there, that April fools' day is not necessary anymore. So here you find my inspirational links on Apr, 2nd. Enjoy!
We went to Scotland for a weekend. And as expected, it was glorious. I completely dropped out of my habits (which was good) and enjoyed the food, the people and the - of course - the gorgeous landscape. Talk about a recharge here. If you ever happen to come to Edinburgh, be sure to drop by the Joker And The Thief on Elm Row. Make it a Thursday and you will see some magic at your table.
