This week marks the beginning of a new term of my MA, and honestly? I’m even more excited than in September. The anxieties of returning to school (five whole years since graduating, when did that happen?!) have long since disappated, and this time around I have a new found appreciation for my time at uni. In the words of Andy Bernard, ‘I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you actually left them’…
Let’s be honest here, blog posts have been few and far between in these parts. It wasn’t a conscious decision but the stress of lockdown and then the return to uni have been more impactful on my creative space than I had wanted. I don’t want this little corner of the internet to die out,…

Thankfully, the weather in Bournemouth has, for the most part, been glorious, so sitting out in the sun with a…
Stocking the kitchen (especially in a pandemic) isn’t exactly an easy task. Whilst I’m busy ignoring the Pringles, my boyfriend’s snuck a pack of cookies in the trolley, eating healthy has never come naturally to us. However, because of my health, we spend a lot of time thinking about the food we’re putting into our…
I can’t be the friend you want me to be.
How’s everyone’s lockdown going? For me, things haven’t really changed, I was stuck at home with chronic illness recovering from surgery before lockdown, so it’s all much of the same – with less Starbucks. Anyway, let’s not dwell on the dreaded C-word, instead, I wanted to share a few things making my lockdown a lil…
