I Shop / I Read / I Photograph
I started reading etcetera in a cafe and finished it off on the couch at home as the sun sank towards the earth / I like the way the words are crawling up the cup like ants / I bought a glittering B for my sister Brie / I fell in love with manual focus / I have always loved packaging, brown paper, stamped and embossed lettering

Chasing Rainbows
I absolutely love travelling. The people, the costumes, the cultures, the food. I love being out of my comfort zone and not understanding the languages spoken around me nor the signs written above me. I strive to open my mind and my senses to everything around me and allow myself to be caught in the rip of the the local tides until I feel an understanding for the rhythm of life around me.I wanted for a long time to start a new blog called something along the lines of "places & faces". I wanted to see if I could select just one photo from each place of my travels to accompany the words I selected to share with my journal at the time.
Instead, I created a portal just for me. A dedicated place to record my tales in an ordered manner by pulling together all my previous and disparate attempts and publishing them in one place.
This is your invitation to join me for the ride. If you decide you'd rather stay 'at home', thats fine too, as this is something I have wanted to do for a very long time and if no-one reads it, I don't mind a bit!

Masai Blankets & Bracelets



One morning at the end of our horse ride amongst the cheetah, elephants, oryx, giraffe and zebra, we came to a clearing and there under a single huge acacia tree, was a table covered in white with granola, fruit and yoghurt and your choice of eggs any which way, toast and pancakes all made on a tiny smoking fire a few feet away.

View From Bed





Afternoon sleeps in tented beds with views of the plains beyond. No wall to block the view, just a linen curtain which is drawn at night. The day starts with a 6.30am game drive and a wake up call Kenya-style...A gentle knock at the door and tray of steaming coffee with a ginger or coconut cookie left inside the door.Thursday, November 5, 2009

Ol Donyo Waus



Here are some details of the very generously proportioned rooms of our lodge in Kenya. An indoor bath and shower, an outdoor infinity pool and shower and a star bed on the roof.Tuesday, November 3, 2009
