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 “ποΈ Bahamas ποΈ”

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”
Liverpool
by Ryan Clement As a practising barrister, I travel throughout the United Kingdom for work. When I am not in court, I like to travel abroad, as seen from my videos on my YouTube channel.

All Three (singular!) π€
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).

On this Day (Easter Sunday)!
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. Itβs a memory that remains with me and shall forever. We had this lovely walk down andContinue reading “On this Day (Easter Sunday)!”
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! Chilling at my second hotel, the British Colonial in Nassau – my first, being The Atlantis on Paradise Island – with a coldContinue reading “Paradise Wish”
