Snake day. So nature adjusts. Too little rain is followed by too much. Just what you’d expect in a Water Dragon year. Followed by a heat wave. Followed by more rain. And today the slugs are at my sunflowers. At the railway station I try to buy a ticket from the ticket machine. It’s attached… Read More
It’s raining as I walk into Godalming, the worst sort of English weather: no driving wind to give the rain character, no cold to make it sharp. It’s not even raining particularly hard, it’s just wet, the sort of wet that makes everything dark and floppy. The walk takes me past the Church of Jesus… Read More
Thailand, early afternoon the second week in February 2012, the “land of smiles”: I have cynical thoughts as the plane circles to land at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi. I’ve spent a little time in Prague with its machine-gun toting police, in Rio de Janeiro and in Las Vegas. Sex tourism is an ugly phrase. But then so… Read More

1. I’ve got a gong and I’m not afraid to use it. My friend Dawn is a self-made not-so secret millionaire. She made her fortune in the flooring business. At pretty much every modern international airport you’ll find yourself stepping on her floors. And she’s been a pioneer in introducing non-toxic solvents and in fair… Read More
Singapore. Friday 17th November. Just a few weeks until the Water Dragon of 2012. The Dragon is the Thunder, the beast of sudden change. Events build to a peak and then the Dragon brings the chaos that resolves. It wouldn’t take a diviner to see that next year is unlikely to be tranquil. In St… Read More
In 2005 in the company of Master Howard Choy, I visited the sacred Taoist complex at Wudan Shang set among the “Seventy Two Mountains” in Hubei, Central China. The breath taking photograph of the green roofs against the azure blue of the sky that adorns the cover of my book the Feng Shui Diaries was… Read More
It’s often said that travel broadens the mind. If you haven’t been to Paris, for instance, you won’t know how fit you have to be to climb to Sacre Coeur. Venice may appear a quaint seaside resort until you realise that it’s not so much by the sea as in it. Similarly unless you have… Read More
It’s normal in South East Asia for a feng shui man to oversee any major building project. Everyone in Singapore knew that the late Master Swan Lek supervised the building of the eccentrically placed Casino and that Grand Master Tan Khoon Yong succeeded him.
