SingleThread in Healdsburg is the Miele One To Watch 2018
SingleThread, the farm, restaurant and inn in Healdsburg, Northern California, owned by husband-and-wife team Kyle and Katina Connaughton, has won the Miele One To Watch Award as part of The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2018. The farm restaurant in Sonoma County in the heart of Californian wine country is built on the ethos of Japanese omotenashi - the spirit of selfless hospitality - bringing an infusion of Eastern philosophy and culture to the farm-to-table concept.
The Connaughtons will be presented with this highly coveted award at The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards in Bilbao on 19th June. The Miele One To Watch Award celebrates emerging global talent and recognises a restaurant that is outside the main 50 Best list, with strong potential to rise up the ranking in the near future.

Belgium: Ooidonk Castle and its park
Ooidonk Castle is a monumental ancient moated castle south of the Belgian village of Sint-Maria-Leerne, not far from Deinze.
A fortress was first built on the site of the present castle in 1230, intended to defend the city of Ghent and to fortify the river Leie.
After its destruction is was rebuilt and enlarged from 1381 onwards. Moats were added, so that the castle could only be reached by drawbridge, and the defences were strengthened with four towers.
In the 15th century the castle came into the possession of the well-known French noble family of Montmorency.
In the turmoil of religious wars the castle was destroyed twice, in 1491 and in 1579. After the fire of 1579 it was rebuilt again, and this building survives as the present castle.
Ooidonk Castle is now privately owned.
The owner has expanded the castle, without prejudice to the playful Flemish Renaissance style. In the 19th century, the interior was renovated and the gardens were redesigned.
Ooidonk Castle is open to visitors since 1958 from 1 April to 15 September, the surrounding park (French gardens) can be visited during the whole year.
