Welcome to my collection of random thoughts inspired by my experiences, travels and camera lens.
Happy Easter everyone! I do hope that you are all enjoying the last day of the holiday, savouring yummy Easter eggs and generally having a peaceful and blessed time. Not sure what everyone else got up to but I have had a lovely weekend. The weather was delicious on Good Friday; at least down my …
I’ve been back in the UK for 12 months now and it’s only been during the last two weeks that I’ve finally dragged myself through my favourite London markets. The trip with my cousin AMP happened on two consecutive days – Saturday and Sunday and on both occasions we made a day of it. My …
It seems to have been available for at least a year and so far, not one person I have told had any clue that you can access WhatsApp on the internet. Shocking! Unless I’m out and about in town, I only use WhatsApp on my computer. I hate touch screens and I’m constantly pressing the …
My love affair with markets at Camden, Portobello Road and more recently, Spitalfields, spans at least two decades. During my pre-teen years my father made the mistake of taking me one weekend to Portobello Road and Camden Market and for a brief period in time, they became a family weekend ritual during my 12th year. …
So at the beginning of this year I thought to myself that as I have a little bit of spare time on my hands, why not add a few online courses to my daily routine? I haven’t really studied since after my A-Levels, many years ago. Well not many, that makes me sound ancient! Let’s …

We didn’t exactly plan the day out – well yes we did, but initially we were thinking of photographing Camden. That’s still a plan, but that day, at the last minute, we changed our minds and opted for Notting Hill instead. This was our second consecutive week together; both of us with our cameras in …
I recently bought two lip products, Lush Honey Trap Lip Balm and Popcorn Lip Scrub on a whim. My initial plan was to purchase Born Lippy from the Body Shop for about £2, but I couldn’t find them in their usual spot in Westfield and Lush was nearby. So, I needed a lip balm and the …
I really do love perfume, discovering new scents and adding new fragrances to my collection. My current favourites are as follows: Mer & Mistral – L’Occitane Cherry Blossom – L’Occitane Daisy Dream – Marc Jacobs Armani Code – Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia– Giorgio Armani And you can now add Salt Air by The Library …
I love London. I never thought I would say this, but I really do think that it’s one of the best cities in the world. Perhaps I’m biased, after all, I was born here, although truthfully, I never grew up in England’s capital. I spent the first part of my childhood in the quiet suburbs …
