A Sunny Day in London Town
I’m aware that my posts are becoming increasingly photography based, which is not something I intended, but something that I’m enjoying nonetheless… With that out of the way, I spent a sunny day in London last week with my family wandering along the river and taking some photos. We also went up the Shard to […]
Wanderlust
There are many things I love about the German language, but one of my favourites has to be its ability to convey complicated ideas and meanings in just one word. ‘Wanderlust’ is one of these words, so unique that there is no English translation and it is has now been absorbed into our language too. —————————————————————————————————————— […]
A Walk in the Woods
Spring is finally here in the UK and I’m home in Hertfordshire for the Easter holidays. I took a few photos on a Sunday afternoon family walk the other week. There was a beautiful sunset and I couldn’t resist a cheeky few sun spot photos too…
A Month of Live Music
In the past few weeks I’ve been lucky enough to be able to see lots of great live music around York and Leeds. Writing for a university magazine (and being live music editor), I’ve been able to grab press tickets and even interviews with some great artists and as well as discovering some new music which […]
A Day in the Dales
I love living in Yorkshire and I had the opportunity to visit the surrounding countryside at the weekend with some friends. Cue climbing on rocks, frolicking in fields and a great pub lunch. I love the layering of colours in the first few photographs. It was a misty start to the morning but the sun […]
My Trip to Edinburgh
In which I forget which one’s Arthur’s Seat, spend a lot of money on tea and fall in love with a beautiful city. Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Edinburgh: a city I have been dying to visit ever since coming to York. It’s only two and a half hours by train, and after […]
My Post-Graduation Reading List
As I struggle through volumes of John Donne and pages of the Medieval Welsh magical realism of The Mabinogion (?!), the light at the end of the tunnel is that glorious post-university beacon, when I know I will be able to read ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING I WANT. Now I say this as a student who […]
A Rainy Afternoon’s Work
Once more I’ve been terrible with blogging recently, and just in case you thought it was because I was off somewhere exotic doing something exciting, I thought I’d do a little post with some pictures of what my life really consists of. As it’s my last proper term at university, I have a lot of […]
My Trip to Salzburg
In December I went to Salzburg to visit my friend who goes to university there, and I was glad of the opportunity to see the beautiful city at Christmas time. I took a few photos: (Sorry for the extreme Christmassiness in mid-January; I’ve only just found my connector to put the pictures on my laptop!) […]
2013: a Review
As the year draws to an inevitable end, it’s time to take a moment to reflect on 2013. Not the media-obsessed, news and entertainment public 2013, but my own personal one. I like to think of myself as an eternal optimist and so, despite the obligatory bad parts, here is my year: the good bits. […]
