My Altar
This is my alter for Lady Aphrodite, I've had this one for about a year and are hoping to expand it as I grow as a person. I like to offer her crystals and trinkets that remind me of her

This beach is close to where I live. I go sea swimming here and I love it! There is nothing quite like swimming in the sea, it is such a great experience and good for the body and soul!

The seafront is my favourite place to go because it’s my happy place, the energy on the beach is always uplifting and I feel like I’m on vacation, even if it’s just for a couple hours.

I love to walk up this big hill in my town to watch the sunset as it’s so peaceful and beautiful and you can see over the whole town and it makes you think how minuscule you really are.

was walking with my friend when we decided to take some photos of the area- we go around here often so we opted to make these photos the central heart of our final pieces for gcse art!

I absolutely love going on late night walks and travelling, I mostly go to places in the UK but have been other beautiful places too! I like to get a grasp of different cultures etc...

A beautiful serene building made of entirely gold. The most important pilgrimage for a Sikh person, though the area is open to anyone to spectate, regardless of religion or background

I enjoy using original Polaroid cameras and restoring them to take photographs of my adventures. I currently use a polaroid 600 camera. I have two. I have a large archive of pictures.

The UK is fortunate enough to have a long history of democracy and free speech. When this is at risk or a social issue needs to be surfaced, people will take to the streets to protest.

Scouting something I am so passionate about and being a Scout leader lets us do so many amazing activities that are not only awesome for us but for the young people we volunteer with.

As a pedestrian for most of my traveling adult life , i hate cars. Hence i have created my wood sculpting workshop behind my public mural . Which has roof gardens all the way round .

Every morning I get up at 6.30 to go running in the woods and there is a bridge where once you are at the top, the way the sun hits the trees and train tracks looks incredibly pretty.

The place that keeps me sane and drives me mad. Celtic Park where I’ve met strangers who have become friends who share our highs and lows together. Where we dream big and cheer loud

A place my husband and I used to visit often as it was beautiful all year round and where I find it difficult to walk without getting emotional as I no longer have my lovely husband

At the end of the summer term at my school, most people go swimming at the beach. We’re lucky to live by the coast, although as you can see, it’s not always sunny typical England!

Just a short walk away, I am met by the North Sea. Where I live you can see Puffins, bottlenose dolphins, various other sea birds and even Orca Whales and other types of whales.

Sitting down to relax with a brew and a biscuit is a moment of peace to chill out on your own or with family and friends. A show of good manners is to offer your guests a brew

I go here to surf allllll the time, especially in the summer but there’s usually surf all year round so It’s perfect to get a practice in when I don’t want to travel toooo far!!

Sometimes on weekends, me and my family really enjoy going on some lovely walks down at our local meadows with our dog, the walks are even better when the sun is shining bright.

During the summer holidays, fireworks are set off at our local beach. It happens weekly and people come with family and friends to watch and eat fish and chips and ice cream :)

Beautiful garden in Golders Green (nw London) where I used to spend a lot of my free time. The garden is beautiful and peaceful. I used to love sitting there with a nice book.

In the UK, it generally signifies that spring is on its way when daffodils start sprouting! It is lovely to go on a walk and see all the flowers, accompanied by a cool breeze.
