I have taken many a photo of nature’s flowers over the years on this blog post, ranging in colour, size and style. While these flowers aren’t quite as striking as natural ones, I was quite pleased to have been able to make them in a glass flower making class I went to a few weeks ago. The class was fun and quite challenging, and I have these lovely momentos to keep forever.
It was my mum’s birthday so I bought her these beautiful ravishes roses. I love the bright colours and the layered petals. Always a treat.
It was my cousin’s wedding very recently and in true Pakistani style there was a party in the days before for the women of the family to get together to sing traditional folk songs, dance and eat great food in celebration. I wish my cousin a happy marriage, full of colour and adventure.
The month of Ramadan has started today for Muslims around the world. We fast from sunrise to sunset. I pray that we can make the most of these special days and that this month is a beneficial one for us all. I especially pray that people that are in hardship find ease in these difficult times, and that we can all look after one another and be generous in giving whatever we can. Ramadan Mubarak.
I took a short trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal very recently. Lisbon has the oldest bookshop in the world and is known for being quite hilly and also near the coast. I spent several days there and whilst it was a bit rainy it was still a really nice city to visit. Here are a few snaps, but my favourorite thing was seeing all the tiles on the buildings of various colours and styles.
Today is the last year of 2025. There’s been highs and lows and sadly still too many wars being waged in this world. I pray that next year these come to an end and that people find peace and justice. Here are my favourite photos of 2025. May 2026 be a better one for us all. Happy New Year.
I love the sunny, calm Autumn days that we can get. The crisp air and the blue sky really awaken the senses and make a walk in the park quite wonderful.
Who doesn’t love an umbrella street? This one in Camden town market certainly brightens up the place and perfect for upcoming wet Autumn days.
I love the changing shades of autumn, the reds, oranges and yellows, the colours of fire but without the heat. The ArcelorMittal Orbit in the bright sunlight fits right in with it red exterior.
This summer my local town celebrated colour and so they invited talented street artists to come and do some artwork for the public to enjoy. These were my favourite ones and I think the artists did a great job.
