It is not often that we are truly drawn to visit a destination. When I first saw an image of the Tulip Stairs at the Queen’s House, I was enthralled by the shapes, colours and design. It was truly amazing to be there in person and make the climb.

“How much is that doggie in the cage? The one with the face of a man” A charity project spotted at Covent Garden, London. Such creativity for a good cause is inspiring and it definitely stands out from normal charitable fundraising. I emptied my pockets into the bowl.
