North of the Border

A couple of weeks back, I had the opportunity to head up to Scotland for a few days, staying in Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Even though it took just over 7 hours to drive, some of the scenery is breathtaking. The last time I was in Edinburgh, I was 10 years old and don’t really remember [...]

Relational Creativity

Now I always wondered from whom and which side of my family I inherited my creative streak; My lovely Aunt, Constantina has evolved her creative streak into paintings (and they are quite good to!) Her art reflects her love of storytelling as well as the quest for self-discovery and one’s spiritual t

Back in the UK – Part 3

When we experience something new, whether it be changing jobs or moving countries (Sorry, I’m going from one extreme to the other in that analogy). It’s not just about learning about the differences or being adaptable, it’s also about the experience to learn a different perspective about yourself an

This is what happens…

….when you try wearing any type of new leather/canvas/whatever closed shoes after wearing flip flops for 4 years – your feet are literally covered in plasters that are covering blisters! Oh and the same also applies with the other foot as well – plasters on the same toes and back of the ankle…

Now that things are getting more settled and beginning to get some semblance of normalcy. It’s down to browsing through all the job sites, contacting recruitment agencies and trying to step back on that career ladder. Things seemed to be going well to start off with, high spirits, enthusiasm, eagern

I’m very sorry for posting this…

..no, I am, honestly. I just have one of those lavatorial sense of humours, and this is included. Made me laugh out loud. Enjoy! (received via email) This is the funniest thing I have ever read. If you ever had a colonoscopy or are planning on one, you can’t miss this one!!! ABOUT THE WRITER [...]

Reverse Culture Shock

We’ve all heard about people telling us about a culture shock if we go away, which naturally I did have when I went over to St Lucia. What people don’t tell you is the reverse culture shock hitting you when you come back; bumping at you sideways so you end up on the floor saying [...]

Messing about by the river

As most of you might, nor might not know. There are three man-made lakes in Milton Keynes- Furzton Lake, Willen Lake and Caldecote Lake. We spent a leisurely morning, gently strolling around the perimeter of the lake, watching the world go by. There wasn’t much going on, except for a few people walk

Back in the UK : Part 1

“When one chapter closes, another one is just beginning” After spending nearly four years in St Lucia with the hope of new beginnings, new dreams, new prospects and a new life. It’s come to an end, with a ground-breaking thump. I had the opportunity, I grabbed it with both hands and took the bull by
