A poignant trip to see The Knife Angel at the Royal Armouries in Leeds today.
Also known as the National Monument Against Violence & Aggression, The Knife Angel is a 20ft tall sculpture created entirely from 100,000 seized blades. Some of the blades which can be seen on the Angel’s wings have been engraved with messages of hope, love and disbelief, by the families of victims.
The Angel was designed to raise awareness of how knife crime effects our communities and acts as a memorial to the victims of knife crime.
It’s certainly thought provoking and worth the visit as it moves up and down the country.

Oia, pronounced Ia, is Santorini’s most iconic village. Situated on top of an impressive cliff it offers spectacular views over the volcano and the island of Thirassia. It is known throughout the world for its beauty, it’s white windmills, blue domed churches that hug the rugged cliffside, the sunsets and amazing luxury hotels.It is certainly the most beautiful and picturesque village of Santorini (and some say of Greece) #santorini #oia #thira #greece #imerovigli #island #santorinigreece #visitgreece #travelgreece #greecelover #santoriniisland #instagreece #santorinisunset #islandlife #santorinichallenge #santoriniview #oiasantorini #instaoia #greekislands #santorinitravel #caldera #santoriniphotography #santorinilove
Sunsets in Oia are up there with the best I have ever seen.Equally as beautiful as the sunsets in Fira, however both are very different. The sun sets in Fira over the Caldera and you get those incredible volcano views, however the sun sets in Oia behind the whitewashed cave house/suites built into the cliffs and the blue domed churches Santorini is famous for.If you visit Santorini I would highly recommend making time to see both sunsets if you can, you will not regret it. 💙 🇬🇷#santorini #oia #fira #thira #greece #imerovigli #island #santorinigreece #visitgreece #travelgreece #greecelover #santoriniisland #instagreece #kamari #santorinisunset #islandlife #santorinichallenge #santoriniview #oiasantorini #instaoia #greekislands #santorinitravel #caldera #santoriniphotography #santorinilove
Kamari is an up market seaside village, that combines relaxed sophistication with old-school Greek charm. Situated on the South-Eastern coast of Santorini, it’s at the north foot of Mesa Vouno mountain, which is topped by the ruins of Ancient Thira and some Roman baths.Kamari Beach has black sand, an open-air cinema and a promenade lined with restaurants, bars and shops. It's got a more chilled and relaxed vibe than Fira and Oia, however you don't see the caves built into the Cliffside, the blue domed churches, caldera volcano views and amazing sunsets from Kamari, so it's worth taking that into consideration when deciding where to stay in Santorini. 🌊💙🇬🇷. #islandlife #santorini #santoriniisland #greecetravel #greecelover #travel #kamari #santorinilove #greece
People always ask me where is the best place to stay in Santorini ?
The truth is each part of the island offers something truly different. I’ve created a short video of Fira, Oia and Kamari so you can see the differences between the three locations.
Starting with Fira ….
Fira is Santorini's capital and the biggest, busiest and most cosmopolitan city on the island.
Located on the west side of the island it is famous for its caldera view of the volcano and the two volcanic islands, Palaia Kammeni and Nea Kammeni.
It has a great combination of natural beauty, plenty of restaurants, bars, nightlife museums,boutiques and shops.
An abundance of accommodation options can be found in Fira from luxurious hotels and suites with an outstanding caldera view, to a camping area for an alternative stay that will satisfy nature lovers.
If you are visiting Santorini, Fira is definitely worth a visit even if it’s just for the day.
Stay tuned for the video of Kamari and Oia !!! !!! 🇬🇷💙⛪️

Sunsets in Santorini are famous and on most peoples bucket lists.If you are visiting Santorini the best places to see the sunset are in Thira and Oia, with Oia being voted as the best. This is the sunset from the rooftops of Thira. I will be showing you the sunset in Oia too so you can see the differences between the two ! 🌅♥️
If you are into extreme sports then you must put Oludeniz Turkey on your bucket list, it’s well known for being a paragliders paradise💙
Check out the end of video to see the top of Babadag Mountain and the paragliders jumping off, one of them looked no older than 9 🏔️🫣
I’ve wanted to do this for the last 10 years and never had the guts to do it. Would you dare do it ?!? 🙉
I keep getting told I need to join Tik Tok to get down with the cool kids so I’ve just joined and posted a video of one of my favourite sunsets in Turkey ! Don’t miss this if you are staying in the Fethiye region of Turkey 🌅
My 9 year old god daughter will be so proud 😝
