Welcome to my collection of random thoughts inspired by my experiences, travels and camera lens.
A few years ago, I saw and participated in my first interactive theatre experience – Alice Adventure’s Underground. It was such a mind-blowing event for me that I still want to revisit the play. With that in mind, a few days ago, I joined my sister and cousins at Abney Park, and together, we stepped …
When I think of Anais Anais L’Original, two people come to mind. My mother, whom I distinctly recall had the bottle amidst her vast perfume collection, and, my younger cousin AP, who has turned it into her signature scent. Truthfully, I have always considered the perfume to be more of a mature woman’s fragrance, which …
I recently rekindled an old passion, knitting as a hobby. My nan was a fantastic knitter, and my mother, whilst I don’t think she’s knitted or crocheted for many years, was decent at both. I must have been about 10 when I first tried my hand at knitting. My mother taught me the two basic …
It’s just around the corner, and you might be hard pressed for time and gift ideas for Father’s Day. Well, that’s if you’re anything like me. I always leave gift shopping for any occasion to the last minute, which usually stresses me out. Despite promising myself never to wait until the last minute, the vicious …
The UK is full of beautiful places to explore. I’m rapidly learning and realising that I have really taken this country for granted all my life. To be fair, I have lived abroad in Ghana and Dubai, so please cut me some slack. Last year, I spent a few days out in Somerset and fell …
I’ve been quiet I know; it’s been very busy for me the last couple of weeks. My first blog is late in the week I know, but I have a post to share written by my cousin, AP. A few weeks ago, she tried, rather unsuccessfully to rope me into a night of speed dating. …
My friend D. Alves is full of bright ideas. Together, we have undertaken to explore London, even though he has lived here for most of his life, there’s still a lot even he hasn’t seen. He recently suggested that we take a Thames Clipper from South Bank to Greenwich. I’ve never taken a boat ride …
I can’t imagine what a world without art would be like. Drab? Abysmal? Dead? A dark void? The great thing about being back in the UK is that I have more than enough time to explore London’s art scene – and there’s so much to choose from. Last week, my sister and I were invited …
My sister’s 12-year-old godson recently spent a few days in the UK. His trip, his first to England, included sightseeing around London, taking in Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace (that was a first for me too actually), and, because he’s a young boy, spending a lot of time at comic bookshops around the West End. Apparently …
So, this weekend was a busy one, with me traipsing all over the capital. I even ventured into East London, a place I tend to have really bad experiences with and generally avoid like the plague. And, in keeping with tradition, my visit to both the Vintage Fair and the V&A Childhood Museum at Bethnal Green …
