European Escapade Day 1 – London to Paris

I think by the end of this trip I'm either going to love this coach or be sick to death of it. I knew there'd be a lot of travelling time spent on it, but knowing something and doing it can be quite different. Today was a very…

European Escapade Day 0 – London

So life is taking a pretty exciting turn over the next few weeks! I'm off on what will hopefully be a pretty epic trip through Europe. My aim is to daily blog it, with each new post probably going up the day after it takes place (but written…

Village Craft Fair

Since leaving high school I’ve lived in cities for most of the time, which I love for many reasons, the primary one being that there is far more to do. However, I grew up in the countryside and I now enjoy visiting home a lot more, now that…

Replacement Haul

Review – The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Musings From A Train Platform

Source The stream slowly eases its way through the landscape, taking a lazy saunter, propelled along by cool breaths of wind. Patches of pale green algae drift along on its surface, in no hurry to be on their way. The smooth, glassy surface is interrupted only by tiny…

Outfit of the Day – Keeping It Classic

Stripes, high-waisted skirts and boots - these are the staples of my wardrobe, and they are so easy to mix and match to create different outfits. This top is versatile enough to be worn year round, and is very loose fitting, so I tend to wear it with…
