I want to be a Paperback Writer.
At the weekend I was humbled by a friend who told me my life was going well for me. Not that I ever take it for granted - the beautiful city I'm in, my never ending narrative of exploring, being able to create - I'm very aware of my blessings. But to hear it from [...]
Lockdown was eased... I think. Nobody appears to be too clear on the exact rules. I didn't think I would make it out to be honest. In the couple of weeks prior to 4th July I was thinking I couldn't face it. That it would be rigid and uncomfortable and I couldn't face it. But [...]
Throughout the past weeks I have been thinking about my physical appearance. It started when I decided to reassess my wardrobe. I imagine I adopt a similar technique to many blog posts you will have seen on this subject before. The items I have not worn in a while are likely to be put in [...]
2020 is the year I finally watched Sex and the City. After being told by many friends that I should watch it, as expected I have been left wondering why I didn't comply sooner, and I thoroughly appreciate the boost of confidence it has given to my independent self.

Life is starting to feel very black and white. I know it's up to me to start colouring it in. But I'm struggling to choose which colours to use. This is what I had started to think, as I was becoming more settled into life in London. The initial feeling of 'what the hell is [...]
They say start as you mean to go on. So far this year, in this new decade, I have moved into a flat with two good friends, secured a new job, and begun a whole new routine of life and keeping connected with friends in a way that is different from popping down the road [...]
One month ago I dropped my notice on my boss' desk and called my friend to accept her offer of a flat share in London. I jokingly said 'I'm giving myself a new life for Christmas'. It was an opportunity that ultimately never felt wrong, but it's also apparent to me that I have no [...]
Being twenty two was a whirlwind. Sometimes I've thought of it as slightly reckless, but I think that was adjusting to the drastic change from my previous lifestyle. As I was going through the photos I have taken this year I smiled. I have never had so much fun and adventure in the rest of [...]
To write about Kenilworth now, I will have to stretch my mind back to a month ago. It was a Sunday when I visited. Surprisingly bright, although it was cold and it had rained for three days straight prior. The road surrounding the castle had flooded. A group of people had gathered on the bridge [...]
