My first detailed post from my trip to India is reserved for my favourite outing… a visit to Sanchi, a World Heritage Site. The only other Heritage sites I had been to are ones in London and our very own Nelson’s Dockyard in Antigua.
Bhopal is a beautiful city with amazing scenery and is said to be one of India’s greenest cities. Bhopal is also home to 10 lakes and is aptly tagged as “The City of Lakes”. In this post, I’ll recap with words and images my picture perfect day trip to Bhopal’s Upper Lake.
Back in 2022, I secured an amazing Scholarship opportunity from the Indian Government to spend two weeks in the country learning about Women Empowerment, Policy and Vocational Training. I had the most amazing time and met amazing women who I still keep in touch with to this day. This post is an introduction, obviously, but over a series of post I will be unpacking how I spent my life changing two weeks in India
How Long Has It Been? Too Long! The last time I published anything on this blog was three years ago and in that time so much about me has changed. I feel as though I’ve let this Cotton Tree grow unwatered. I suppose I should take this as an opportunity to reacquaint myself with this space and reintroduce myself. It truly has been awhile.
A lot of toxic behaviours in relationships are deeply rooted in patriarchal thinking. The sense of entitlement men develop in these relationships as well as the desire to take more than necessary from men acting on the “instinct” to provide. Patriarchy has tipped the advantaged far into the male corner certainly but women also use the patriarchy and have developed “trash” tendencies because of it. Men and women are both toxic and “trash” and this has led to a very unhealthy relationship dynamic.
A few months back I wrote about the most amazing summer trip my family and I made to the island of Montserrat. The island is Antigua’s neighbour and so we took a literal hop across on the boat to spend time. The island is dominated by one of the world’s most monitored volcanoes and has a unique and interesting history shaped by that very feature. This post was commissioned by Bankra Travel and is featured on their website. I’ve decided to share it here as well with a more extensive Photo-reel.
Rebecca Louise Law is an installation artist specialising in artworks made with natural materials, especially flowers.
The exhibition Life in Death showcases her personal collection of plants and flowers, dried and preserved over a six year period. It is her most intricate large-scale artwork to date and examines our relationship with flowers and plants and how they are used, particularly through rituals.
This is another instalment in a series of posts giving an insight into all of the interesting and amazing things to do in London. Neatly titled “The Londoner” this series showcases a few of the things which I’ve done in London but hadn’t bothered to upload. This post is all about a day in Maritime Greenwich at The Cuttysark Museum
So ages ago my friends and I visited Sky Garden. It was amazing and I took loads of photos and I realized a few weeks back that I never actually shared that with my blog and I probably should have. I've done loads of interesting things in this city and haven't actually said a thing. So this post is the start of a back track to some interesting perspectives of this city which has become my second home. Here's to London.
