The trap­pings of travel

When I star­ted this trip my arms were bare, I just car­ried the oblig­at­ory watch of a 9-5er. Thank­fully that didn’t last long. My watch strap has been broken for months now and I don’t feel bound to time so closely now, much to J’s annoy­ance! So time, or the lack know­ing it, has changed me both inside and out and now my wrists are per­man­ently adorned with col­our so my cur­rent jew­ellery col­lec­tion is as follows:

  • Beaded wire ring – bought from NYEMO to donate money for vul­ner­able women and their children
  • Pink cot­ton brace­let — made for me by a child on Serendip­ity beach in Cambodia.
  • Amber stone and black bead brace­let — bought two in Sihan­ouk­ville, one is for my sister
  • Bam­boo brace­let – made for me by a Karen tribes­man in the jungle of Thai­l­and, near Burma
  • Coral Fish brace­let – kept since I was eleven from the island of Granada in the Caribbean
  • Mul­ti­col­oured brace­let – given to me by a Buddhist Monk

Adding to this bud­ding col­lec­tion I also have a brace­let, given to me by Lauren (Bob­bits), that I’m only sup­posed to wear “When the fair­ies are guid­ing me”!
