Mariell Lind Hansen's Home Truths
Everyone, this is Mariell. Why ask her for her Home Truths? Cos she started Benk + Bo - a workspace, yoga studio and cafe in Shoreditch that’s one of the first places I’ll head to once this is all over.
1. The song to put a smile on your face…
Summer On The West Hill - Kings of Convenience.
2. You can only watch one film for the next three months… What is it?
Oh, very tricky. Im going to have to cheat and say that I would finally dive back into my Jean-Luc Godard box set.
3. The TV series you want everyone to watch:
So, I’m one of those who constantly wonder how people make time for TV series. I don’t know the name of any and I don’t think even my dearest friends could convince me to get into one… Well actually, maybe if it’s one about the ocean out there. Any suggestions pass ‘em on please!
4. The book you most recommend to people:
Consolations by David Whyte.
5. The subject you’ve put off exploring that’s now top of your to-do list:
Making clothing of all the fabrics I’ve been hoarding but never had time to attack yet.
6. The wild card you wish more people knew about…
Noise pollution in the ocean and the effects it’s having on marine life.
7. We’re allowed dinner parties again… What are you cooking?
Homemade sourdough pizza where everyone gets to choose their own topping.
8. Everything’s back open. What’s the first coffee shop, restaurant or pub you’re visiting?
Sager + Wilde (East London) for a cheese toastie and glass of some very fine red wine.
P.S. What you know now, that you wish you knew then…
I had a suspicion already, but I really need to make some more time in my life to ebb and flow with my natural rhythm and not let the clock take over how I move my physical body around on this planet.
I have even been for numerous runs. My map showed 12k at one point. I have always repeated to myself; I am a blood type A, therefore I shall not be a runner. Turns out I rather enjoy it once I just get my ass out there!
C’est fini... Now what?
