Meeting (Fangirling over) Patrick Ness

On the weekend of the 5th and 6th October, myself and my housemate went to Cheltenham Literature Festival. You won’t see much evidence of this, however, because I cleverly forgot my camera and to take any photos which is annoying because I wanted to share it all with you. But never mind, I am not […]

Turning 21

On Tuesday (1st of October) I turned 21 and in doing so became a proper fully-fledged grown up person. (Ahh!) Simply put, it was one of the nicest (birth)days I’ve ever had and I cannot thank my family and friends enough for how generous and lovely they were and how special they made it. Because […]

Photographing Lake Como

Hello! Again, I’ve been very lax with my blogging recently and I apologise, I’ve really had no excuse. But I thought it was about time to share some photos I took whilst on holiday with my family in Lake Como. They were all taken with my Nikon CoolPix P510 and I’m really happy with how […]

Review: The Rosie Project, Graeme Simsion

“Meet Don Tillman. Don is getting married. He just doesn’t know who to yet. But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman. One thing he already knows, though, is that it’s not Rosie. Absolutely, completely, definitely not.” This is just a quick little post to say how much […]

My Trip to Cambodia #2: Sightseeing

I’ve been doing a terrible job at keeping up with my blogging and it’s now been a whole month since I came back from Cambodia! It’s probably about time that I wrote the second instalment of my adventures there: all about the sightseeing and touristy things I did. While Cambodia may not be the tourism […]

My Trip to Cambodia #1: Teaching English

So I know that I haven’t blogged in a while, well ages, but I have a good excuse: I’ve been in Cambodia! I’ve just come back from the best three weeks of my life and while I’m still a little dazed and confused, I’m ready to share my adventures. I went to Siem Reap in Cambodia […]

Packing for Cambodia

2 days until I go to Cambodia, ahhh! Packing is a nightmare, but it doesn’t matter because soon I’m going to be on the other side of the world teaching English to cute little Cambodian children and this stress will all be a blur. I can’t wait!

Review: The Fifth Wave, Rick Yancey

On a lonely stretch of highway, she runs from them. The beings that only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered earth’s last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, until Cassie meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan may be her only hope for rescuing her brother […]

Great Gatsby Party

I went to a Great Gatsby party yesterday and took some photos of my outfit which wasn’t strictly 1920s but a bargain so it’s fine.

Photographing York Minster

I’m lucky enough to live in a beautiful city which I really don’t appreciate as often as I should. So the other sunny day I went out to take some pictures of the city’s great landmark: the minster. Here are the results: They were all taken on my Nikon Coolpix P510.
