Saturday 24 January 2026 01:00 PM
I turned seventy-seven at dawn on Jan 10, which felt appropriate: a small, private moment before the island woke and began making its usual persuasive arguments for breakfast. The sea lay flat as a pane of glass, tinted the colour of old pewter, and the geckos were still negotiating the final clauses of their overnight treaties. I wheeled my bicycle out from under the bougainvillea, patted the saddle as if it were a reliable old dog, and pointed us south, toward Promthep Cape.

A collection of small, human choices
Sunday 7 September 2025 11:00 AM
Some things in life we control. Others, we don’t. We don’t choose the weather. We don’t choose the headlines. But we do choose our actions. When it comes to the big issues in our world – like conflict, climate crisis, and the never-ending mess of litter – it’s easy to feel helpless. We feel like we have no control. But what if we looked closer? What if we humanised the problem?

A year ago I came across a tiny lost kitten around four weeks old in a ditch that was flooded with no family around and she adopted me. So for a few months I had to put photography on hold until Leo (my cat) learned I wanted to take photos of the wildlife and not chase it.

With the monsoon season in Phuket comes the wind, the waves and a heartbreaking sight on our beautiful beaches.
