The best things in life are free, so they say, and July proved that because my BFF, Chris, came to stay. We had been talking about getting together as soon as we could, but COVID stopped us. Then, things started to open up and Chris wanted to visit his family in Looe, Cornwall, but he …
My monthly round-up in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. In April, I added 2 new books to my collection. Dishoom is a beautiful Indian cookbook with lots of delicious recipes, stories of how the restaurants came to be and a map of traditional cafes and restaurants in Bombay or Mumbai as …
At the end of 2019, I took a trip to celebrate the new year in the lovely city of Brussels. On New Year’s Eve, I took the Eurostar and arrived at Brussels Gare-du-Midi station mid-afternoon. I caught the metro to Madou and walked the short distance to my hotel on Rue du Nord. Hotel Sabina …
My monthly round-up in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. Welcome to Spring! I can’t believe we are in April already, but we are hopefully on the way to freedom once more! I started my new job as an employment caseworker with Mencap in March and I am thrilled to report that …
I’ve been revisiting my trip to Italy which I took with my parents in 2018. We took a day trip to Florence – a photographer’s dream – so many cute little streets to explore and the architecture is amazing. I hope you enjoy this photo walk around this beautiful city in Italy! For more of …
My monthly round-up in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. The weather has been so changeable lately, we’ve had a few frosty mornings.. Turning warmer throughout the day and ending in beautiful sunsets like this one… apparently the brilliant colours were caused by the dust storm in the Sahara Desert which was …
My monthly round-up in The Changing Seasons post, hosted by Su at Zimmerbitch. As we speedily make our way through the new year, my January was quite productive. I finally published my photographic book – A Book Of Photographic Images. I started this project years ago and at last got round to finishing it (lockdowns …
Following on from my post about Art on Soi Nana, here are some more photographs of this – off the beaten track – little street in Bangkok. It’s small but full of character. Just a stone’s throw from Hua Lamphong, Soi Nana has somes of tiny, quirky bars – Tep Bar, 23 Bar and Gallery …
Just for fun, a few memories of good times in Bangkok and the people (and animals) I came across on a day in Soi Nana. I love looking at these old photos! I’ve got some great memories of living in Bangkok! Much peace and love to you all!
Soi Nana was one of my favourite places to go when I lived in Bangkok. It’s a small street lined with old shophouses, some of which have been converted into funky little bars, restaurants and even art galleries. There are lots of little alleyways behind the main street to explore and Soi Nana is also …
Following my memories in Tales of 2018, I am a little late in reminiscing about 2019, but here goes. 2019 was the first year in a long time that I had spent back home. I never thought I would be living here again, but the year started elsewhere! January I flew to Valencia to make …
Here is the UK we are going through our third lockdown and we just don’t know when we will get our lives back. It’s hard to know what to do to keep our mental wellbeing in check. For me, art is a way to relax my mind and unwind from the stress of my day. …
