Melbourne Yarra River

A short photo tour from the south side of the Yarra River that runs through the centre of Melbourne. The riverside is full of great restaurants, picnic spots and some cool street art. My favourite part of the riverside was the Sandridge Bridge, a renovated railway bridge. It has ten sculptures on it, entitled The […]

Sydney at sunset

I don’t think I’ve been to a more gorgeous city. A few shots at sunset.

Everybody needs good neighbours…

If you don’t know every word to the following video don’t bother reading on. http://youtu.be/JWhYBTYi-5E Day one in Australia and what do you do? Hit the Official Neighbours Tour of course! I have to admit that I haven’t watched the show for a few years, but I still wanted to see where all the classic […]

Five things you must do in Barcelona

Boy George, Sting and Phil Collins wasn’t exactly the music I was thinking of when I booked a trip to Barcelona for some winter sun in January, but this was what was blasting out of the taxi’s radio as we were taken from the airport to our hotel in the Gothic District of Barcelona. For a […]

I love Ghana because…

One of my favourite projects in the summer was, with a lot of help from Coco, meeting people and asking what is was about Ghana that they loved so much. Patriotism certainly isn’t a dirty word in Ghana and the flag can be seen proudly flying everywhere you travel with the national anthem is sung […]

Sunny St Ives

Seeing from the train down that Cornwall was pretty much part of the Atlantic now and with the weather experts promising more storms I wasn’t optimistic about about surviving a day at St Ives without getting drenched. However, as soon as the train pulled in to the little station the sun came out, and stayed […]

Sunshine in Northumberland

Whilst the south of the country was fighting storms earlier this week I was lucky enough to be taken away to Northumberland by Anna and be shown around the top sites by her mum. Below are a few photos from the beaches, Cragside House and the stunning Northumberland scenery. I was even shown the original […]

God’s Time is the Best – shopping in Ghana

Britain was described by Napoleon as “a nation of shopkeepers”, but in 2013 I would say that this title is much more appropriate to Ghana. “Hustle” is a daily part of life for many Ghanaians and wherever your tro-tro (bus) stops there is always a number of people looking to sell water, food, footballs and […]

My Ghanaian summer

A few photos to show what I got up to during the summer of 2013. Best enjoyed listening to the song below:

Ghana V Zambia

“I recommend that you get inside before it gets too busy,” said Mourinho (not the Mourinho, but Dan’s friend) to us as we stood outside the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, each of us grasping a ticket to Ghana’s final group stage match of the 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign. With over four hours to kick-off Chris, […]

Going loco down in Togo (with Coco)

“Haha, the white man looks scared,” crowed the delightful lady who’d just sold me mobile phone credit, as I clambered on to the back of a motorbike a few miles away from the Togolese/Ghanaian border. Holding on for dear life on a motorbike as I went into Togo wasn’t outlined to me by Coco when […]

Church at St Cecilia’s

On Sunday the whole KickStart Ghana Summer School team were invited to meet the community of the church that is connected to the school. We were all really honoured to be invited (even if 7am was a little early…) and were asked to introduce ourselves to the 300 people at the service. The Father also […]
