Near every new place I live in London, I seek out quiet green space, a little slice of nature, a place to go and…

There’s a new blog post up today (link in bio) about our last travel adventure before lockdown - exploring the Old Town in Naxos, Greece.
🇬🇷
“The air of the islands, she believed, was different than the air of other regions of the world. It engulfed her now, carrying with it flavors of sun-drenched soil and foam-flecked sea, aromas of virgin woods and naked rocks, its tang of citrus trees and its fizz of foreign wine-misted lips. It carried in its pockets the sounds of children’s laughter, the clatter of drunken brawls, the mandolin music thrumming sensually from decades-old cassette tapes in the colorful souvenir shops where old ladies and young women waved at passersby. It came from near and far, rebounding off the blue-white flag strapped to ferry masts rearing above the sparkling waters, glinting in the brown-eyed winks and twirled mustaches of the locals.” ― Angela Panayotopulos

Backlit blooms. A little flash of delight around every corner. Took this photo when we explored the labyrinth passageways of the Old Town in Naxos, Greece on a windy but sunshiny day in October 2019.

I usually only share blog posts to Stories, but I’ve decided to start sharing them on the feed too.

Today, from my “Small Business Breakfast” interview series (featuring inspiring, creative small business owners), meet Michelle Wiseman, founder of Little Wise Toys which offers travel friendly, screen free developmental toys for 3-6 year olds (soon to include 6-12 year olds too).

Just a stunning Cyclades sunset, the Naxos Portara

Just a stunning Cyclades sunset, the Naxos Portara a silhouette against a fading October afternoon, the colours I associate with autumn in New York spreading across the Greek horizon and glistening on the waves of an inky Aegean Sea.

The last time I travelled. Days when we didn’t think of wearing masks or social distancing or have any idea of how different our world would be a few months later.

When was the last time you were on a plane and where did you go?

A shot from my last photo adventure before lockdow

A shot from my last photo adventure before lockdown, on a wander around #Brixton with a pair of film students from the @capastudyabroad London program who were working on projects involving small businesses and the diversity of the city, the results of which I’d love to see one day.
✈️
My own #studyabroad experience in London on the same program 17 (!? 🤯) years ago shaped the direction of my life and career in many different ways. I hope that students are able to travel again soon when it’s safe to do so, and have access to the same opportunities and the world beyond their usual boundaries.
✈️
Did you study abroad or have a long term travel experience that shaped your life in some way? How? And where did you go?

“Molecules mixed with soil, providing nutrition

“Molecules mixed with soil, providing nutrition for plants, those plants were then devoured by animals, and so, contrary to the assumptions of the majority, the human body was immortal, on a never-ending journey through the cycles of nature. What more could one possibly want from the hereafter?” - enjoyed reading Elif Shafak’s “10 Minutes 38 Seconds in This Strange World” this month. (@shafakelif)
📖
Another recent fave was “America Dirt” by Jeanine Cummins. (@jeaninecummins)

I just got a delivery of about 10 new books to devour, most by BAME writers, during the many breastfeeding sessions tying me to one spot.... What are you reading right now?
