Centenary Sparkle
The golden years of crystallographers is being celebrated with their Nobel Peace prize displayed alongside their laboratory equipment to note 100 years of the study of crystals.

Dodgy Doges and Fresher Frescoes
Towers are lowering to the ground in the flood. The availability of rooms we all enjoy amongst the frescoes are slipping away. Art defines who we are, our faces stare like emperors lost in a terrible moment of catastrophe. The strength of Venice is to the hilt. Suddenly her boats are ripped up […]

I was so thrilled to wake up to a bright shining award from a brilliant blogger, Upasna. The message of Upasna’s blog is ‘Live out loud’ which rings through the posts you can read here.

Liebster Award
A man came into the hotel I was staying in and said I can make you better. For some reason a bug had laid everyone low and we were all in the lobby feeling weak with sickness. He gave us a brown liquid. We had no idea what it was. You can imagine how it […]
