Bananas Revisited

It's been over 3 years since I was in Jakarta last, and much has changed in the world since then. But some things have not: the swifts and the bats, the rain and the thunder, the feel of an evening breeze. And banana trees.

Join me over on the 26 Trees project page for a bit of banana nostalgia.

NEW WEBSITE!

 

https://joanlennon.co.uk/

My new website is live! I'd love it if you could come on over and have a browse around, and if you had any thoughts on how it could be better, it'd be a real help. (You know how it gets, after a while, if you stare at something too long and you can't really see it any more ...)

You can find me here!
