Slow Down to See the World

Welcome to Journey in Colour. I’m Claire Biddle, a travel writer who believes the best journeys move slowly enough to notice –  the shift from honey-gold to rose at dusk, the particular blue of sky against Moroccan pink walls, a Catalan chef plating prawns to honour their scarlet beauty. Art isn’t confined to galleries; it lives in the everyday, if you give yourself time to see it.

What You’ll Find Here

Places – atmospheric explorations of how places feel – what you notice when you wander neighbourhoods, how architecture shapes daily life, and how art and history give a place its character.

Journeys  – that reveal landscape at human pace, walking or cycling to villages you only reach by moving slowly.

Cuisine – as an expression of place, and restaurants where the food tells stories.

Consider this an invitation to slow down, notice more, and discover that the world’s greatest art gallery has no walls.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
