About Me

My favourite band performing in my own city? There My favourite band performing in my own city? There's no way I was going to miss Def Leppard's debut concert in Mumbai, so we obviously bought tickets the day they went on sale several months ago 🐆

I grew up crushing on @joeelliott (and the rest of the hotties from Sheffield!) Loved everything about them — their sound, the crazy lyrics (I mean, have you heard Pour Some Sugar On Me?), the wild 80s hair, and their particular brand of rock anthems and fantastic arena performances 🎶

Now in their 60s, they brought the same energy to Mumbai — Joe the voice, Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell shredding their guitars, Rick 'Sav' Savage underlining the bass, and @rickallenlive's scintillating drumming! My one tiny grouse is that Phil kept his shirt on and we didn't get to see his magnificent abs 😂

We were treated to everything from Bringin' On the Heartbreak, Photograph, and Foolin' to Animal, Hysteria, and Armageddon It. Plus a surprise acoustic rendition of Two Steps Behind by Joe. Loved that they played Switch 625 and White Lightning — no better tribute to the guitar legend that was Steve Clark, gone too soon 💔

Thank you for rocking Mumbai, @defleppard! Joe, Sav, Phil, Rick, Vivian (and Steve RIP) — you truly are the Rock of Ages 🤘🏽

The mosaics of Madaba This unassuming church fac The mosaics of Madaba 

This unassuming church facade hides a historical treasure - the Madaba Mosaic Map, which is the oldest surviving depiction of the Holy Land. While the current Greek Orthodox Church of Saint George in Madaba, Jordan dates to the 1800s, the mosaic map itself goes back to the 6th century. It was uncovered when the new church was being built on the site of an older one. The map depicts Lebanon, Jerusalem, Palestine, the Dead Sea, the Nile Delta, etc (pics 2-3). In the city of Madaba, you will find numerous shops selling all kinds of modern mosaics; they are also happy to show you the process (pics 4-6). 

About 10km north of Madaba stands Mount Nebo where Moses saw the Promised Land before his death. From the summit, you get a sweeping panorama of the West Bank, Jerusalem, and the Dead Sea. The site holds a modern Memorial to Moses (pic 7), built over an older church that goes back to the 4th century. Inside, you can see stunning mosaics that date to 530 CE (pics 8-10). These are amongst the best preserved mosaics in Jordan, and they depict vividly colourful and detailed hunting and pastoral scenes with intricate geometric borders — it's quite a sight to behold!

I’m a sucker for Roman ruins, so naturally, I wa I’m a sucker for Roman ruins, so naturally, I was thrilled to visit Jerash in Jordan. It is one of the best-preserved Roman cities outside Italy. We spent nearly three hours traipsing around the archaeological site, wandering amongst towering columns and pounding sun-baked stone streets that have been trodden for nearly 2,000 years.

Entering through Hadrian’s Arch felt like stepping straight into the Roman Empire. We wandered through the Hippodrome and the Oval Plaza, along the colonnaded Cardo Maximus (its stones still etched with chariot grooves), past the towering Temple of Artemis, and into both the South and North Theatres. 

The complex of three Byzantine churches was a highlight, particularly its mosaic floors. We ended at the Temple of Zeus, its hilltop location offering sweeping views over the ruins and the surrounding valley. It's the perfect place to take in the scale and grandeur of ancient Jerash.
