There is something quite gratifying about being stuck on a plane for a 14-hour flight and it’s not the blockbuster movie marathons or free grog. #whiskeyontherocks For those 14 hours we get to disconnect ourselves from reality; from Facebook news feeds; from work deadlines; from ‘To Do’ lists. Long haul plane rides are like pit stops from the fast lanes that are our lives. In … Continue reading 14

Grow up
Today I went to the supermarket and for a full five minutes, tried to figure out which brand of laundry detergent to buy. Yesterday I pan-fried a chicken for the first time. I overcooked it so it was a little dry but hey, no-one died of salmonella poisoning so I’m chuffed. A few weeks ago I bought an ironing board. It felt like a milestone. … Continue reading Grow up

Late last year fashion photographer Tim Walker released his own Granny-themed version aptly titled ‘The Granny Alphabet’. But this book is more than just your ABC’s. As Walker explains: Old age brings back this childlike … Continue reading ‘G’ is for Grandma
The Crazy Wonderfuls
As I sit on this plane to Jakarta listening to Lauryn Hill’s infectious Doo Woop song, with less than two weeks til the year’s out I can’t help but look back on what was a crazy, yet wonderful year. A new career direction was accompanied by a huge amount of optimism and excitement, but it was far from being an easy transition. It was indeed … Continue reading The Crazy Wonderfuls
An old lady’s left lung
I have an old lady’s left lung. This story begins in the craziest city on earth – New York City. I was delighted to be welcomed by an old teddy bear nailed to a telephone pole as I got off the L-train in the heart of Brooklyn. After checking into a hostel that looked like it was out of a horror movie, I found myself … Continue reading An old lady’s left lung
