by Ryan Clement On this day many years ago, I was in Rome. My soulmate at the time, Sue, and I went over to Rome for the Easter period. Our hotel was in walking distance of the Colosseum. It’s a memory that remains with me and shall forever. We had this lovely walk down andContinue reading “On this Day (Easter Sunday)!”

Travel writer
What job would you do for free? This is easy for me. I would be a travel writer. I get two for the ‘zero price’ of one. Travelling and witnessing other cultures and traditions would enhance the writing, and the writing would enhance how I see and engage in new cultures and traditions. It’s aContinue reading “Travel writer”
In these turbulent times!
by Ryan Clement It saddens me to think about the world my son will grow up in during these turbulent times around the globe. I was communicating with my very good friend, D., today and asked whether we worry ‘more’ (if measurable) about our young today than our parents and guardians did about us? ToContinue reading “In these turbulent times!”
Paradise Wish
by Ryan Clement There is a specific kind of magic in the stillness of a Bahamian afternoon. I should know. I had the benefit of experiencing it for 8 days this year!

Oceanogràfic 🌊🐢🐠🐬🐳🐧🌊

It was another warm day in Spain’s third largest city, so the feeling of being at or around the sea gave me a sensory cooling effect inContinue reading “Oceanogràfic 🌊🐢🐠🐬🐳🐧🌊”
Central Market
by Ryan Clement I DON’T HAVE fond memories of markets and marketplaces because I had to pull the shopping trolley on a Saturday morning along North End Road, Fulham, London. MY LATE MOTHER would insist I transported our food in the checkered brown cloth trolley with which I dreaded being seen with by any ofContinue reading “Central Market”
Holy Grail
by Ryan Clement “Then he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant…’” Matthew 26:27-28 MANY MANY YEARS AGO, I was in Rome over the Easter period. We arrived on Good Friday. Our hotelContinue reading “Holy Grail”
Coexistence!
by Ryan Clement IT’S OFFICIAL! Coexistence of the old and the new can and does work. I already knew that, of course, but needed a title for the short series of blogs. I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE of visiting Rome many years ago but, unlike good friends, A. and S., not Athens where they visitedContinue reading “Coexistence!”
