Hi hi hi!


I know it’s not been the greatest summer these isles have ever seen, but one fine Monday afternoon a couple of weeks ago the sun escaped from its cloudy prison and reminded us all how great summer really is. The thing is, I had to take advantage. Who knows when (or if) we’ll get more sun like that!


So me and my girl Adesileola went into the Northern Quarter in Manchester with my beloved Nikon.


 For the uninitiated, the Northern Quarter is the centre of alternative culture in Mancunia. It’s a colourful, captivating and at times downright bizarre place, it’s Manchester’s answer to Brick Lane. Where better to snap some shots then?!

No, I don’t know why a rabbit and a dog are staring at a naked woman either..

I really hope the sun sticks around for a while after Ramadhan. It’s not been easy fasting when summer arrived right on cue for the start of it. Saying that, what must it be like to fast in countries with stifling heat? 

If the nice weather does hang around, what better way to spend hot summer days than to kick back with a froyo?

    Totally dig your style hun. Also, I think it's worth drawing attention to the fact that you've so wonderfully coordinated all your blues. From your hair, to your shoes, to your nails, to your background. Even your coffee cup's doing it's bit! Beautiful.

My brother's working out in Qatar and he says it's actually not too bad fasting in the heat there plus since everyone else is also fasting it makes it that little bit easier! Ramadan Mubarak 🙂 x
