I'm back at home, too blissed out to blog in any detail as yet. My memories are unfocused, in contrast to the comforting solidity of a fridge full of Gouda cheese (the old stuff - the good stuff), Dutch sausage and smoked eel. Dutch siroopwafelen, Indonesian coffee sweets and Malaysian durian cake all sit proudly on the worktop. Hell, even my Dutch Evian bottle makes me smile fondly.

I love to fly back from mainland Europe to Gatwick, love the way you can see the whole of England's south-eastern coast from the Thames estuary to Brighton. Crossing Surrey, the stockbrokers' swimming pools look like opal and sapphire jewels scattered over green velvet.

I have an all-day/all-evening thing at work tomorrow, so the rest of my Amsterdam story will have to wait. Like the best food and drink, hopefully it will improve with age.
