Before we left Canterbury, Brad and I made it our mission to go to places in Kent that we hadn’t visited before. Places like Deal beach and all the nooks and crannies of Canterbury itself. There was always one place, however, that I truly wanted to explore more. That being the White Cliffs of Dover. … More The White Cliffs of Dover
Oh, hey there guys, my glorious little readers you! Long-time no speak. How’ve you been? Done anything fun and exciting since the last time we talked? OOO, what’s that? You’re having adventures and living the life of a reckless and fun twenty-something year old? I hear ya, that sounds mighty amazing and fun-diddly-astic! Am I … More What to do when your life is falling apart around you
Easter. Easter. It’s such a weird holiday. I guess it’s a second Christmas? Like, a spring-time Christmas with eggs instead of presents? I’ve never really celebrated it before, maybe because my family isn’t religious, besides what my mum thinks, and that it was never a massive event on our calendar.

You know, like the things … More January 2017
Before this momentous day, I had never even eaten banana bread, let alone made it. That has all changed thanks to this recipe.
Looking out over the field of bulbous mounds, I shudder at the thought of what may lie underneath it all. The repetitive growth of globular tumours wherever I look coats the earth in a muted orange hue. It is as if the sun has delegated the last of its light to these pumpkins. It feels … More Pumpkin Grave
For the last couple of weeks I have actually hated my blog. Not in a murderous sort of way, I won’t be pushing that big red button just yet, but ‘hate’ in the sense that whenever I thought to myself “I’m going to sit down and write that post”, I just wouldn’t. And it wasn’t … More This Blog Sucks
Home. When someone says to me to think of home, I don’t think of a house. I don’t think of my mother, even though I probably should. I don’t even think of my brother or my pets, which makes me feel equally as guilty as not thinking about my mother. No, I think of food. … More Hazelnut and maple syrup biscuits
