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”!
