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 [...]
When the leaves changed colour and fell, I didn't think of it. As the air became chillier I only thought for my pile of jumpers, that remained tucked away for so long. A sudden desire to stay indoors didn't even open my eyes. So belatedly, it dawned on me yesterday that I was facing October [...]
Here's a pattern I've noticed: you make a wish, work towards it step by step but never feel like you're getting anywhere, then suddenly it's done, you enjoy the moment. And repeat.

After witnessing a hectic social scene during our first hours in Liverpool, it was surprising to find the city was exceptionally quiet on the morning of Saturday 29th June.

When May began the rain and cold still graced England. I was loathed to complain because firstly, talking about the weather fast becomes a stale topic. And secondly because I prefer the cold most days anyway. It lends itself to wrapping up warm, which is my favourite fashion. Although, the reason for it being on [...]
For a while I thought I was becoming someone with too much to say. I've always been quiet. A lot of people have called me shy, but I prefer quiet because it's not often out of nerves that I don't speak. It's choice. Over the last few months I've been saying a lot and wondering [...]
At five thirty in the evening the sun is still shining. The shift in time has come literally and in spirit. Everyone seems to live for more than the everyday when the days become longer. Work, rather than being your whole day, becomes just a part to get out of the way. The sun brings [...]
At first I thought February was cruising along nicely, but the last two weeks seem to have been swept from under me. Everything's getting a bit busier. A bit more rushed. Usual for the first few months of the year, while everyone looks forward to summer. Although, doesn't it feel as though summer has already [...]
