I am a Northern European

• My spirit is more "pünktlich" than "mañana"


• My palette is more this than this


• I love to wrap up warm


• I prefer pale, unsalted butter


• I like clean, uncluttered design and would always go for plain before fancy


• Comfort food wins over spicy dishes every time


• Sibelius rather than Rodrigo


• Water and ice please, rather than sand and sun


• I will happily wear my coat on the beach if necessary


• I'd like my tea or coffee hot, please!
