6. know your roots

Vibrant colours of Asia

East African equatorial climes

Walks to the library

Spicy hot currys and biriyani

Tropical fruits

Bustling London streets

Quieter suburbs

Saturday morning children's television

Flowing sarees and salwar kameez

Poetic Swahili

Sweet ladoos and burfis

Frostbite

Tea, toast and breakfast cereals

Expatriate communities

Wooly hats, scarves and leg warmers

The Red Sea

Are some of the roots I've grown from.
