This Week in the World: Week 10

IMG_3001_.jpg

Hello again, and welcome to another issue of “This week in the world”. I was really feeling the lockdown blues this week, as our temperatures dropped back down to feel like winter. On top of the grey, cold weather, I was feeling really disconnected from the world (social media has a way of exacerbating that when you scroll and watch other peoples lives, without actually being there with them in-person). I decided to delete my social apps for the weekend and do my best to plug into the positives in my own life. It ended up being such a great weekend (despite the cold and grey!) making pancakes, biking to Borough Market, some great conversations and appreciating London… even in it’s current state!

If you’re new here, ‘This Week in the World’ is a weekly recap of content ranging from around the globe. My hope is that each week, no matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to feel more connected to it: through news, travel, food & wine… really, anything that appeals to the culturally curious. Let’s dive into the content I sourced for week 10.

TRAVEL NEWS + UPDATES:

WEEKLY FAVORITES:

  • FAVORITE READ: With tonight's Harry and Meghan interview looming, I really enjoyed THIS READ from The Guardian and THIS ONE from Glamour UK.

  • FAVORITE LISTEN: I really appreciated THIS EPISODE on deciding when to have a baby… not just for the fair points made but also how they normalized every decision and encouraged doing what's best for you.

  • FAVORITE WINE: I picked up a bottle of this Sybille Kuntz Mosel-Riesling for a tasting in my WSET course and it was SO good. It had the perfect amount of residual sugar without being too sweet. Don't sleep on it!
