I’ve never taken part in a protest march before. But it’s more important than ever to show that we, #LGBTQIA+ people, are here. Just as we’ve always been here, but fortunately now more visible.

The issue of inequality in street names named after women has been resolved. During #Amsterdam #WorldPride 2026, the Herengracht (meaning ‘men’s canal’) was renamed Damesgracht (meaning ‘women’s canal’) at least temporarily.

OK, one more: the old Santos warehouse has been beautifully transformed into the new Museum of #Photography in #Rotterdam. The building rightly bears a crown on its roof.

Quite apart from the vast collection itself, the building housing the Dutch National Museum of #Photography in #Rotterdam – a former warehouse with many original features still visible – is a real feast for the eyes.

It’s never quite finished and that’s exactly what makes this city so wonderful.
Time and again, I come across surprisingly beautiful new projects in my favourite city #Rotterdam.

On day 3 of #NorthSeaJazz we saw #CecileMcLorinSalvant for a 3rd time in concert & met in person. Had a nice chat and talked about her shoes. She admitted it might not have been the best combination for all outfits but well it’s #jazz & you gotta mix! 🤪 Great answer.

I couldn’t find it in Paris, but see – Marie Brizard Anisette, lovely to enjoy in the sunshine on my own little terrace. And ehm… I bought it for that gorgeous bottle, of course. 😉

Oh, look… it’s the #CentrePompidou, which is now closed for renovation. I visited this #postmodern building in 1989, when it was a trendy & hip cultural hub in #Paris.

I heard about #JR’s art installation ‘La Caverne du Pont Neuf’ and I knew I’d go. A creative, perhaps slightly mad idea, a tribute to #Christo & #Jeanne-Claude. I went on the hottest day ever in #Paris. If you can, go and see it before it’s gone. Simply wow!

Split second gaze

Just when I saw
That reserved gaze
You gave away
It reminded me
Of times way back
When those looks
Were supposed to
Get my eye
only, Instead of
Seen by all
And the tears
Welling up immediately
Made me realize
How much I
miss Your love
