Fantastic piece re the largely untapped content ecosystem in Africa. Africa has 1.4b people but only 1.7k cinema screens across the continent. This and other topics will be discussed and debated at Africa Cinema Summit in Accra, Ghana theguardian.com/global-develop…

My wife and I continue to enjoy our extended trip to Gomoa Fetteh in central Ghana. Last night we enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Till's Beach Resort with family and friends, many of whom were close to my wife’s mother back in 60’s Ghana. Her legacy continues. #Ghana #Legacy

We are very proud of our Scottish, Ghanaian, and Australian grandson Harry for completing his first professional modelling job for Australian brand TINY TRIBE. It’s an exciting time for Harry, as several other fashion brands are keen to work with him. tinytribe.com.au/blogs/youth-lo…
