Hot Air Balloon ride in Morocco. So peaceful, with a beautiful sunrise and the Atlas Mountains in the background. #Hotairballoon #sunrise

A photo of multiple hot air balloons of different colours rising up into the air.

A photo of the sunrise taken from a hot air balloon. The sun is just peeping out from behind the mountains, and the sky is tinged orange and gold with other balloons visible in the sky.

A hot air balloon comes in to land over a field of poppies. The red and green of the field match the colour of the balloon, and mountains can be seen in the background.

I spent a wonderful 10 days travelling around as a tourist in my homeland of Kerala in India. Kerala offers such a wide variety of experiences, with so many areas of natural beauty including mountains, forests, lakes, backwaters and beaches. It’s truly a paradise on earth…

A photo of the beautiful green tea plantations in Munnar, Kerala, India. Tea bushes planted in rows colour the hills bright green, and pale blue mountains are seen in the distance. Cattle are grazing among the tea plants but apparently they only eat up the weeds, as the tea leaves are bitter.

Indian elephants in the wild in the forests of Thekkady, Kerala. A wild boar can also be s seen in a corner.

A traditional houseboat in the backwaters of Kumarakom, Kerala. Coconut palms can be seen in the background. These boats were used until the latter years of the last century for transporting cargo, and these were converted into Tourist boats once they were no longer in use from the 1980s onwards, once roads were better developed.

A poem written in response to a photograph sent by my friend, of a rose blooming in her garden in North America after the recent snowstorms. I loved the sheer bloody-mindedness of it 🙂 #resilience #poetry

A collage showing a photograph of a rose blooming in my friend’s garden in North America after the recent snowstorms, with a poem I wrote about it. The poem reads:

A Rose in Winter

When the sun shines in warm summer glow,
A million tender roses grow
But it takes a special kind of bloom,
To blossom in the unforgiving snow.

It's easy enough to sparkle bright,
When things all seem to be going right
But when hardships come, with grief and gloom,
The rebellious rose shines through the night.

We completed the Tour du Mont Blanc, a trek up and down the French, Italian and Swiss Alps surrounding Mont Blanc. We trekked approx 170km (105 miles) in 10 consecutive days, with an elevation gain and loss of around 10,000m over the whole trek. A truly challenging but stunningly beautiful trek!

A great way to destress after a long all-day clinic, a walk round the lake in the local park followed by time on the swings! Funnily enough, I saw the Action For Happiness daily prompt telling me to do something playful, after I got home! #walkingforwellbeing #nature @actionhappiness.bsky.social

Memories of the Galapagos, 2018. We went with a tour company who were very mindful of the ecosystem and made sure the rules were followed. It was truly magical, although I did feel conflicted about our ‘invasion’ of these pristine and tranquil islands. #ecotourism #Galapagos #wildlife #conservation

And the other just showing a hand holding a compass, titled

ACTUALLY NEED - A GENERAL DIRECTION

Image showing a watering can watering seedlings, and a garden hose which is filling the watering can. The text says“you have to care for yourself, to be able to care for others”

Multiple images showing people walking around with the title “What we see“. The second set of images are the same people but showing hidden issues, such as depression, loss, anxiety, illness and past trauma, titled “What we don’t”.
