The Memorial Park is our favourite place for walking with our children.  I took the photo myself.  I love this park because there are playgrounds for children.  Very often my children and I play basketball there. I love this place.

Every family has many objects that are used by family members.
Today I want to tell you about this silicone mould for making ice cream; I have used this object for two years.
My children love ice cream so I wanted to buy an ice cream maker but it was expensive and my house needs more essential things than it.
In 2020, I was at the supermarket and I saw the silicone mould which was cheap, easy to clean and easy and safe to use. When you buy it you will get the wooden lollipop sticks. You can easily insert the stick and pour in the liquid you made earlier ( you can mix milk with chocolate or coconut or fruit to make this liquid) then put the mould in the freezer. Now enjoy your own healthy ice cream and at the same time spend an amazing time with your family.

I chose this picture because this teddy bear is related to a charity.  A man came in our shop before  Easter to ask us if we could clean  this teddy for charity. Mostly we avoid doing this type of work because it takes too much time to clean it, but we did that job just because it was for charity. We didn't even charge them a penny, because they were going to collect donations for orphaned children. The man was very happy and after Easter he came back to our shop with a thank you card.

I took this photo about two years ago in my home. I live in a small apartment and have several pairs of shoes in every closet. I had no idea exactly how many shoes I had until one day I decided to clean them and rearrange them. When I arranged all the shoes on the ground I was surprised and found that I am addicted to buying shoes.
unfortunately, after this photo I didn't stop buying shoes and now they are quite a lot more, the truth is that I'm afraid to do another count now. When I want a new pair of shoes I always think about Carrie Bradshaw’s words who was played by Sarah Jessica Parker "I like to invest my money where I can see them - in my closet and on my feet". I always will be “shoeslover”.

One of my favourite rituals!
I do a little spa at home every week, sometimes I even do it more than once.
It is  time I dedicate to myself and it's important for me to do it. To get the desired effect, I light a lot of scented candles, fill the bathtub with hot water, add bath salts, bath foam and essential oils. I take a glass of white wine or champagne and put some fruit in it, sometimes I also take a bowl of strawberries or mango, my favourite fruits, because to be honest, warm water makes me really hungry. I play soft music and read a romance novel. The atmosphere in my bathroom helps me and I really get carried away in the plot of the book I'm reading. I spend hours in the bath until the water gets cold.  I am glad that my partner respects my rituals and doesn’t disturb me.

I chose to write about Aloe Vera Gel because I have used it very often for my hair and skin. This is a 100% natural product with no added dangerous ingredients. After using it, my skin and hair becomes very hydratated and looks much better and clearer.

I chose this artistic picture hung up in my living room in Coventry, because it is very significant for me,  I like it, it reminds me of two things.
Firstly, it reminds me of my culture: it is a traditional weapon our army used when they went into battle, they used a shield for protecting themselves from the enemy and a spear for fighting.
Secondly, it reminds me of my daughter who sent it to me, whenever I look at it I feel her presence in me and in my house.

It's a yellow orchid that my cousin gave me, I really love these flowers because when I moved to Coventry it was the first gift in my first house even though I was renting and I always take care of it. It gives me the feeling of staying at my home in Italy and I also like them because they look so refined and elegant.

This is the first photo I took when I moved to Coventry. It was November of 2019 and I loved the cathedral. It is my favourite place and I was enchanted with it. It is so majestic and every time I go into the city centre I go there. It also gives me a sense of tranquillity.

I chose the Adult Education Service. l found it on the wall of the Muslim Resource Centre in Coventry. It is a blue and white rectangle with white writing above it. It has a logo of the council in the corner. I chose this as the  name suggests that the "Adult Education Service" is very important for adults. It provides part-time courses and learning opportunities for adults. I found an advert in a magzine leaflet at home. I started the classes on 20th September 2022. In this class there's a lot of learning. I joined this class to improve my English language because I want to do a teaching course.

# data[].attributes.body
I took this photo in the garden of the Muslim Resource Centre.
I took this picture because I like the trees and the clear, blue sky.
There are large trees and one dove on the branch.
I see the sun's rays are shining on the beautiful nature which adds lots of energy.
I chose this object because I like it.
Trees and green nature are food for the soul and psychological comfort for the eyes.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose nature and the sun. I found it in the park in front of The Muslim Resource Centre. I saw beautiful trees but not green because it is autumn, also I saw green grass and the yellow sun. I chose nature because the sun gives us warmth and vitamin D. And nature  is so beautiful, and the green colour suggests peace. You can notice people in the summer interested in two things green nature and warm sun.

# data[].attributes.body
I took a photo of a car. I chose a car. I found the car in the car park at the Muslim Resource Centre The car is a nice small red car. I chose this because cars are important for life and everyone. For driving a car you need to pass 2 exams and after you can drive and  buy a car. You should have car insurance and road tax, and an Mot for safety. When you have all of these you can drive. Last year I had a nice small car. I went to the shops and park, and I took my children to school. I currently don’t have a car because car insurance is very expensive.

I chose the picture which suggests to keep calm and learn English.
I found it in the corridor on the second floor in  The Muslim Resource Center Red Lane in Coventry.
The object is red laminated paper.The shape of  the paper is rectangular,stamped with the British crown and capital letters.
I chose it because it is funny suggestion to the people.The suggestion is addressed to the people who participate in English classes and have stress or struggle with the lessons.
I found some information about the origin of the poster.
The poster was made in 1943 during the second world war by the British government.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose the Adults Education Service sign.
I found it outside the Coventry Muslim Resource centre .
Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults.
Adults education helps us with learning.
I have been studying for two years.
I’m better than before: now my reading and speaking are good.
I have to study a lot. It’s better because I help my daughter with her homework and also it’s easy for shopping and doctors' appointments.

I took this picture in Swanswell Park during the cold weather in December 2022.The lake was frozen and all the ducks and seagulls stepped on the ice. The swans were out of the water. I took this picture of the lake because it is on the path of my daily walk to the city centre.

This is a daisy that I photographed in the garden in front of my work in Longford, I took it in early spring, and it had been 2/3 months since I had started working there. I like this photo because it was the only daisy in that garden and it made me think of how such a small thing can be so beautiful.

I chose the Queen's Baton Relay Award 2022, which was given by our gorgeous Queen Elizabeth 2nd  to my daughter. This baton is very important for me because it's a historical memory. Everyone knows recently we lost our gorgeous Queen. The Commonwealth Games can come again and again but this is one of the last batons from her.

This picture is in the living room. I found this painting randomly. I was walking past shop windows in Coventry and couldn't take my eyes off it. This picture shows an angel with different coloured wings. I believe that these are the 2 sides of a person: the light and the dark.
I chose this picture because when I am looking at the picture, there's always something to think about.

I chose this picture because it looks pretty  and  I took it in June 2022. We (me and my family) went to visit London Bridge. Nearest  the bridge there are so many  beautiful buildings which makes it more attractive such as these ones.

This picture I took from the outside of The Cradle Tower and we  wanted to see it inside as well, but because of the holidays there were so many tourists over there and we would have had  to stay in a queue. The queue was so big and we decided to see it another time, rather then wasting a whole day in a queue.

I took this photo in the evening walking with friends. One of my favourite places in the centre of Coventry is the Cathedral. This place is full of mysteries. When you arrive there, you get the feeling that you are in the Middle Ages, which still meet us. A place where it is always quiet and you can be alone with your thoughts and desires.

I observed  this rainbow after a heavy rain, near to my house on Ansty Road. I chose this picture because I have never seen such a big rainbow in my life. This rainbow was very colourful and looks like a bridge. This picture reminds us that after the rain comes  the sun, which is similar to our life. After a difficult situation, another good one comes. I would like a rainbow to appear in the sky every day of my life….

I took this photo at the Memorial Park last autumn. It is 10 minutes from my house. It was the first time I visited it and it was beautiful. I sat on a bench and stayed there for 1 hour just thinking and observing the place that was lovely.

This is my garden, I have chosen this place because it’s my favourite place where I like to relax and I love nature and my garden has a lot of greenery.

I chose the Pure Gym because I have been going to the gym for a year. Going to the gym is very good for human health and weight loss.

In England, when there is no rain, there are charming sunsets.  I took this photo when I went out for an evening walk.  I love watching the setting sun.  It is very interesting to watch the sky change its colours.  And the sun slowly sets below the horizon.

This is my birthday party during lockdown!
The place is right next to my previous home, it is smaller than the park but I really love it. I have feelings for this place because when I moved to live in Coventry it was summer and I spent a lot of time in this meadow. My birthday is in April; there was a ban on gathering indoors and meeting more than four people, so I decided to celebrate with my partner and a friend in this small park. The weather was great, we drank champagne and I really had a good time despite everything.

I made this cake today. It is called Raffaello because the taste is the same as the Raffaello chocolates, although it is tastier. I don't usually eat sweets, but many years ago my cousin's wife, who is a professional chef, made a cake like this. I was really impressed with the taste. Yesterday my partner had bought a pack of Raffaello chocolates and after eating the whole box he decided he could eat a few more. That’s why today I asked my cousin's wife for the recipe and spent several hours shopping and making the cake.  When my partner came home I greeted him with the cake and the words: “All yours!”. He was shocked because the cake is huge, but we have to be careful what we wish for!

I bought these mugs from my Country Moldova. When I found them in the shop I was very happy because when I drink tea or coffee from them I remember my country.

City centre Coventry during Christmas!
I took this picture of the Christmas lights and skating place because it looks beautiful.
I love Christmas and decorations in the streets, shops and my home too.

New Year fireworks and  her majesty the moon.
I love this picture. It shows the power of the light that comes from the moon, and the little work that humans made. It was a beautiful moment at the beginning of the New Year.

I chose green nature.  I found it at Greyfriars Green which is in Coventry City Centre, next to the Theory Test Centre.  I saw the beautiful and wonderful multi-coloured flowers that dazzle everyone, which are located in the middle of the green grass and interspersed with pedestrian paths to the train station on the one hand and to the city centre on the other.  I chose this scene because it is very lively.  And when you sit in this place, you feel comfortable psychologically.

It is the most wonderful place for me in Coventry, I love it very much, because I found myself in it. It is a place to improve your English, develop your experiences and guide you on the best ways to integrate into society, make new friends, and discover the world around you. There is a sense of safety because they respect you, whatever your language or culture.  Your nationality, your religion, your studies, even if you do not know one letter, they work very hard and encourage you to learn and develop your talents that you love and that you could not practise before.

This is the place that gives you the opportunity to start over and repair yourself after you were shattered on the way to escape from war to sanctuary after you became a refugee who does not know what his fate is and what awaits him in this new life in this city. It is your place, the safe sanctuary where you can  speak freely and express all your opinions without fear, because there is no racism or hatred, everyone cooperates with love for the success of the group and the projects that it undertakes sometimes.

Being there with them in this place gave me more experiences and my self-confidence increased and I started writing more poems. They even encouraged me to write stories, so I wrote a short story for children and I recorded it with my own voice on the Podbean application.

This place helped me and gave me an opportunity to raise my voice and recite poetry in the cathedral in front of a large audience in my mother language and in Swanswell Park and I participated  in the procession. It was a big event, we  received Amal the little refugee. I participated in it with love and pleasure. The BBC channel, TV and radio,  also did an interview with me and they asked me to read my poem to them in Kurdish and English. Yes, it was a wonderful success after hard work.

This place has become a part of me and I feel lost if I am away from it.  Because I have just found myself since I came to know this place, and I feel a sense of belonging to it, as it is one of the reasons for my strength and progress, and I had a healing for the soul that gave me great positive energy. Thank you very much, Belgrade Theatre, I am very grateful to you, as you are a symbol of Coventry, symbols of love and a safe sanctuary for all refugees.

Swans are in the lake.
Winter it's here.
And frost covers everywhere.
Nothing is gonna stop the birds making noise.

Love is in the air, ice is everywhere
Along the way I walk happily,
Nobody looks sad.
Every sun ray reflects in the ice.

People, birds and rats welcome the Christmas season.
Air, it's clear and good for breathing.
Rarely, is it cold here, snow doesn't even fall this year.
Key of life is breaking ice, crack..crack..crack.

I like my garden; it's quite a big sized garden. There are some nice flowers and trees; it looks beautiful in the summer time. Me and my family spend so much time in the garden, especially in the summer. We have BBQs in the garden. My children are so happy and they enjoy the times me and my family have lunch in the garden. My children spend so much time in the garden. There is a trampoline; my children are happy to play on the trampoline. There is so much fun - we love our garden!

We were walking with my daughter in the park on 4th August 2021. She started collecting flowers from the big park near my house in Stoke Heath.
My daughter collected flowers wherever she went. She gave some to all my friends and all her friends.
That day she had collected them for her dad.

I chose my Christmas tree because it made my house beautiful. I put it in the corner because my kids played with it. A Christmas tree is an artificial tree that looks like a fir tree. People put them in their homes at Christmas and decorate them with coloured baubles and lights. Every year we decorate our house with a Christmas tree.

This was my son's 18th birthday party celebration. This was our first celebration in Coventry, because we came from Sri Lanka. His birthday was celebrated on 28th November 2020. On that day, we decorated the hall.

We went to the city centre. We went in the afternoon and my son loved the water fountains. I loved it too because this place is beautiful and is in front of many shops, for example Holland & Barratt and JD Sports. My kids played in the water fountains. We enjoyed watching them play; I saw my child and many other children playing in the water. We stayed around two hours and afterwards my kids asked to go to McDonald's. We went to McDonald's and I ordered food for me and my kids. My kids were very happy, so the day was happy.

This building is located in Coventry and was built a 1000 years ago, and this church is the third cathedral that was built a 1000 years ago.
This church was bombed in 1940 on the 14th of November and the church burned down. A day after the fire, the church was rebuilt.
I enjoy the atmosphere of this church and I like this place very much and this is the best place for photography and tourists visiting this city.
