Living In Natures Way

I live on a mountain surrounded by trees and plants and it reinforces my love of nature and the great outdoors. It has always been there, even when I lived in busy cities like London and Dubai. I either brought nature indoors or sought it out in the parks, beaches and even desert. I found …

I'm sitting reading Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur on the shores of the Kahlid Lagoon in Sharjah. I'm savouring words like, “Our backs tell stories no books have the spine to carry”, whilst sipping a coffee after lunch at the stylish Al Rawi restaurant at the Al Majaz Waterfront.

Retracing Steps in Paris

Rain and green pastures make for nutritious grass that provides food for cows and brings us the quality ingredients Ireland is known for. Irish grass-fed beef, creamy butter and a wide range of potatoes are just some of the products this small island can be proud of. Those and Guinness! The people are warm and …
