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

The seafront

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.

Walk up the hill

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.

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

Activism in the UK

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.

Running in the woods

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.

Last day of school beach swim!

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!

Brew and a biscuit

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

Spring Daffodils
