Mr Casper, my cat

Meet Mr Casper, my darling boy, who I love to bits! I mean look at that face, he is spoilt rotten and gets a ridiculous amount of cuddles each day, sometimes to his annoyance.

Zveju Uzeiga

There is a small restaurant in the countryside that my family and I visit regularly; it's by a huge lake and when you stand outside, you can see the most beautiful sunsets.

Christmas is lively in the UK!

During Christmas, London is filled with family-owned markets. This year I saw a group of children singing Christmas carols in Leicester Square, with a massive tree behind.

Walking until my legs hurt

I always walk around the capital until I’ve seen all I could see and until my legs hurt. I get a coffee I glance at the nice architecture and just take in the individuals.

Reading is my escape

I know that most people read but for me reading is a sort of escape from everything. I know that it sounds weird but this is the only way I can think of describing it so...

Blacksmithing experience

Last year, I decided to broaden my horizons and try a number of different activities. Out of all I tried, my favourite was blacksmithing, where I forged my own fire poker.

Sunset and Sunrise walks

Whenever I'm overwhelmed or burnt out, one of the first things I do is try and go for a sunset or sunrise walk- it's just very calming and helps me collect my thoughts.

Everyday life

Rural Hampshire

The countryside is dotted with farmhouses, crossed by clear chalk streams. It has a unique charm, far from the beauty of wilderness, but rather a quiet, dreamy beauty.

Ramadan celebrations

During Ramadan, we fast from sunrise to sunset. We do this in submission to Allah and to purify our intentions. It is also a time for us to focus more on our deen.
