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 […]
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. […]
Dealing with Stress and Anxiety
I’d like to begin this blog post with a precursor. Actually, several. It is a fact that everybody will and does get stressed/anxious/nervous at some point in their lives. It is entirely normal and an essential part of human nature. The nerves and stress we feel often motivate us to achieve our best and although uncomfortable […]
My Autumn Playlist
Just thought I’d share the link to my Autumn playlist on 8tracks. If you hadn’t heard of it, 8tracks is an awesome playlist sharing website where you can choose the genre and mood of music you want to listen to, and it recommends playlists that other people have made. It’s all free and it’s a […]
Mid-Degree Crisis
*Ok, so technically it’s an end-of-degree crisis but that just wasn’t as catchy. So if you didn’t know, I am an English Literature student currently in my third and final year of study. I’ve spent the last two and a bit years studying everything from Bede to Byron and now it’s come to a point […]
