by Ryan Clement There is a kind of high that comes from wrapping up a speaking engagement. The room empties out, the adrenaline starts to subside, and usually, I would head straight for a celebratory drink, food or a good night’s sleep. It was a pleasure speaking at a recent event in Sheffield. The hostContinue reading “From Sheffield to Nice 🇫🇷 with ❤️”

FAITH and HOPE
by Ryan Clement IN THESE EVIDENTLY TROUBLED TIMES, it feels fittingly ironic that a recent visit to Liverpool took me between places of faith – Liverpool Cathedral and Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral – through a street named Hope. Of course, the two are closely connected, but not identical. To me, hope is the belief that tomorrowContinue reading “FAITH and HOPE”
Nice 🇫🇷 is not nice!
by Ryan Clement NICE 🇫🇷 IS NOT NICE! It’s stunningly beautiful! I have been blessed to see a few places during my tenure of Earth. Nice did not so much take me by surprise but more than exceeded my expectations. I have seen the French Riviera many times in movies and wondered if Hollywood wasContinue reading “Nice 🇫🇷 is not nice!”
🏝️ Bahamas 🏖️
by Ryan Clement I WAS TALKING to some Grenadian friends recently when I was asked when would I be visiting Spice Island again? I haven’t returned since I buried my late mother many years ago. Prior to that, I used to visit regularly; often 5 to 6 weeks at a time over December (for Christmas)Continue reading “🏝️ Bahamas 🏖️”
BONNIE GREER
by Ryan Clement IT WAS, AND REMAINS, deeply sad to hear of the premature passing of Bonnie Greer, a truly special person. I always held her in great regard. She was one of those rare people I would stop to listen to when on television, no matter how busy I was. Highly intelligent, articulate andContinue reading “BONNIE GREER”

When time allows, however, I love to explore the city or town in which I am working. Most have aContinue reading “Liverpool”
All Three (singular!) 🤔
Which author would you love to have dinner with? Alice Walker, the late Dr Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. I was fortunate to meet (amongst many others), the first (Barbican Centre in London and Cheltenham Book Festival) and last (Edinburgh Book Festival). Sadly, to my greatest regret, I missed out twice to see (and possiblyContinue reading “All Three (singular!) 🤔”
Beauty Beyond Colour: The Power of Black and White
by Ryan Clement There is someone I follow on social media because I enjoy his photographic work. Most of the pictures I have seen from him are in black and white. A few months ago, I published a black and white photograph that I took at the City of Arts & Sciences in Valencia, Spain,Continue reading “Beauty Beyond Colour: The Power of Black and White”
🇬🇷 Santorini 🇬🇷
by Ryan Clement THREE WEEKS AGO TODAY, I was on the/another idyllic Greek island 🏝️ of Santorini 🇬🇷 We took an early ferry from Heraklion, Crete’s capital. Even in the early hours, the port was mega busy because one could travel to many other islands. Also, it was extremely hot 🥵 The ferry journey wasContinue reading “🇬🇷 Santorini 🇬🇷”
🇬🇷 Crete 🇬🇷
by Ryan Clement HOW TIME FLIES! It seems as though it were only yesterday I was writing from the beautiful Greek island of Kos. This time I am writing from another beautiful Greek island, Crete 🇬🇷 It is hard to imagine why residents of any of the Greek islands would want to travel anywhere else,Continue reading “🇬🇷 Crete 🇬🇷”
