“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.” Roald Dahl : @nina.mohanty and I had a magical day in Oxford, ambling up to the Trout (during which I waxed lyrical about His Dark Materials), bopping about the Covered Market (and discussing CS Lewis) and then saving ducklings in Exeter College (because do you know how loud those tiny puffballs are?!). . . It was our last proper day together before Nina jetsets off to her exciting new life in LA - and it was every bit as hilarious, musical, inspiring and profound as every other time we’ve hung out together. I am endlessly grateful for this woman - she is a rock and a sunflower and a peacock whisperer and I cannot wait for our adventures stateside. . . Good luck, you absolutely queen. Not that you need it! . . #adventures #travelgram #igtravel #bestplacestogo #rambler #notallthosewhowanderarelost #oxford #oxforduniversity #sunflowers #ducklings #bookish #bookquotes #bossbabe #goodvibes #positivity #beautifulmatters #alittlebeautyeveryday #myeverydaymagic #roalddahl

Chasing waterfalls 🌺🌊🌿 . . And that’s a wrap on the first adventure of 2019 - I’m back in chilly, old London and feeling really rather excited for the rest of the year. There’s a lot to do - not least getting the ball running on pitching Renegade Earth to agents. Fingers crossed 🤞 . . “Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” - Margaret Atwood . . #orchidgardensingapore #dametraveler #botanicalgardens #alittlebeautyeveryday #bloomingdays #myeverydaymagic #travelgram #igtravel #neverstopexploring #positivity #chasingwaterfalls #suitcasetravels #passionpassport #iamatraveler #singapore #bookish #atwood #penelopiad #writerslife #amwriting

Keeping it surreal 🌊✨ . . Still not over the idea of having a casual jacuzzi surrounded by jungle and lily ponds in the back garden - Singapore really had zero chill. Not sure it would be quite the same to set something similar up in the U.K. though. . . “Human nature is like water, it takes the shape of its container.” Wallace Stevens . . #dametraveler #alittlebeautyeveryday #iamatraveler #singapore #travelgram #igtravel #poolside #lifesagardendigit #beautifuldestinations #bestplacestogo #suitcasetravels #notallthosewhowanderarelost #passionpassport #neverstopexploring

Beware of a Girl with a Book. She is dangerous. “There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
