The Changing Seasons, January 2024

Reflecting on the month past

Despite a very rainy month, we were busy out and about. Loving Husband was on break until mid-January, so we ran/explored many an early morning.

We ran to Chinatown on this occasion. Behind us is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

We also popped into Little India for our favorite tea at Madras Coffee House’s (not a typo, folks)

In the feature photo, Loving Husband is admiring a Hindu temple in Chinatown (Keong Saik Street)

Lots of exciting art:

From left, clockwise: 1) Chinatown, Banda Lane, 2) in a preloved furniture store (Hock Siong & Co), 3) Singapore Art Week #arttakesover, 4) Translations: Afro-Asian Poetics at Gilman Barracks, 6) saying goodbye to a family home: Eat Love Play

In the kitchen:

From top left, clockwise: 1) carrot cake cupcakes, 2) chocolate almond cake, 3 & 4) using up vegetables from our ugly food grocer Tezz, 5) bagels for the week, 6) cheddar & chive scones, 7) my first throw-everything-in-the-bowl-without-a recipe loaves: front is walnut, back is wholemeal

About The Changing Seasons

The Changing Seasons is a monthly project where bloggers around the world share their thoughts and feelings about the month just gone. We all approach this slightly differently, though generally with an emphasis on the photos we’ve taken during the month.

For many of us, looking back over these photos provides the structure and narrative of our post, so each month is different. Some focus on documenting the changes in a particular project — such as a garden, an art or craft project, or a photographic diary of a familiar landscape.

But in the end, it is your changing season, and you should approach it however works for you.

There are no fixed rules around post length or photo number — just a request that you respect your readers’ time and engagement.
