[Side Note: Picture heavy post] In my previous post, (click here if you missed it), I shared a high school friend’s traditional Nigerian wedding with you all. This post is about her white wedding held at Trunkwell Mansion House in Reading as the title of this post suggests. Having been to well over 20 weddings… Continue reading Trunkwell Mansion House, Reading

Truth Bomb
I read a post earlier today by SouldierGirl that made me smile - please feel free to check it out here so you have a frame of reference. The following line nicely summarised some thoughts that have been sitting with me for a while: The battle that has given me the most wounds is the… Continue reading Truth Bomb
A Bolt From The Blue
For a very long time now I’ve been thinking that in my ideal world I would have a fly-on-the-wall photographer following me around capturing the best and most spontaneous moments in my life (plus awesome outfits). Then I could look back on them in years to come, share with family and friends like “oh yeah!… Continue reading A Bolt From The Blue
Forever Friends
I miss my friend. Don’t worry, she isn’t jamming with Jesus, she’s still with us mere mortals (although more often than not I wholeheartedly believe that she is superhuman - there’s nothing she can’t do!) And despite the fact that we communicate practically every day, I just miss her that’s all. She lives 300 miles… Continue reading Forever Friends
Climbing The Walls
I recently started climbing – and by that I mean I’ve been to the wall twice. However, on both occasions I was there for almost three hours so I’d say that entitles me to talk about it now... right? I was introduced to the pastime by a relatively newish but very cool friend of mine… Continue reading Climbing The Walls

When adversary comes, you have never run Of your goodness I will always proclaim. Before inaudible mutiny, curiosity and boys kidnapped me from the fortress of your hugs – Saturday… Continue reading Father’s Day
Slipstream
Sometimes, sandwiched between running my business, day dreaming and writing or editing, I dust off the shackles of stage fright and actually perform some spoken word. In public. With people in the audience. Crazy right? My love affair with words started when I was very young. It’s just how I have always expressed myself (I… Continue reading Slipstream
A Long Weekend in Nigeria
Two weeks ago I took a quick trip to Nigeria. Ridiculous right? Who takes quick trips to Africa unless you’re a business[wo]man? But effectively I was there for a long weekend. It was quite the distance to go for a short space of time, but when you have a business to run / lots of work… Continue reading A Long Weekend in Nigeria
The Girl Next Door
I know some really attractive people - inside and out. A prime example is the gorgeous young lady below. This shoot was really impromptu actually as I hadn't woken up with taking any photographs in mind. But, as luck would have it, the lovely Ahua Photography showed up at my church on Easter Sunday and… Continue reading The Girl Next Door
