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 …

“Spring Fling” – A Night of Speed Dating at The Anthologist
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. …
Thames Clippers Boat Ride Through London
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 …
An Art Exhibit at October Gallery, London
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 …
Affordable Vintage Fair and V&A Childhood Museum at Bethnal Green
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 …
Big Bus Tour Review – London

If for some reason you’re unfamiliar with the concept, these are double decker buses with the top deck usually open air that take tourists sightseeing around major cities in the world. Along the designated route, passengers can jump on …
Watching the 2016 Cancer Research Boat Race in Hammersmith on Easter Sunday
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 …
Out & About in London with My Camera
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 …
A Chinwag With…Amy
As part of my goal to share more content on my blog in 2016, I decided towards the end of last year to create a section dedicated to interviews of up and coming artists, photographers, designers and authors a lot of whom have a strong connection to Ghana in one shape or the other. My …
Rediscovering Tintin at Somerset House
Just before Christmas my cousin AP and I, after spending most of a chilly and wet day at Southbank strolling through the Winter Market, decided to pop into Somerset House to view the on-going Tintin exhibition. My entire family from my father to my sister, uncle and cousins, were at some point fans of Hergé’s …
