Below is the beginning of a short piece of fiction I wrote as part of my university Masters degree. I thought it would be cool to share sections of it on the blog weekly, as a sort of serial piece. Let me know what you think of it! Hope everyone has a great Friday! Natasha … More Naked: Part One
There’s just something about Kyoto that stole my goddamn heart. Was it the beauty? Was it the peace? Was it the cheaper Matsuya than Tokyo? I’m not sure, but whatever it was, I seriously cannot wait to go back. Looking through my old photos has seriously given me some major holiday blues, and there’s so … More Kyoto Part Two
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
University has probably been a huge part of your life for the last three years. For me, it’s been a part of my life for the last five. Yep, five. With a year abroad and a Masters, I held tightly onto my studentship for a very, veerrrryyyy long time. Too long, according to some. But … More You’ve finished university, so what now?
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
Review: Nutshell by Ian McEwan This book caught my eye SO MANY TIMES in my local Waterstones. Every time I would pick it up, flick through it, and then put it back. WHY?! I don’t know. I guess it’s because I’ve never read any Ian McEwan before. I guess it’s because I didn’t think it … More Review: Nutshell
Back in March 2015 Brad and I travelled to Kyoto as a little mini-getaway whilst on our Year Abroad. We didn’t have a lot of money, so didn’t get to travel as much around Japan as we would have liked, but Kyoto and Hiroshima were two places we really, REALLY couldn’t miss. We had heard … More Kyoto Part One
Okay, so I’m in the process of trying to not buy any books for the foreseeable future, because of house shit. This isn’t going to plan, because I’ve already bought three more new books, that I thought I’d share with you on here. I haven’t read them yet as I still have 50 pages left … More May Book Haul
Whenever I read a blog I’m ALWAYS curious about who’s on the other side writing the posts. I love reading about books, and I love reading about people’s lifestyles, but NOTHING beats a good heart-to-heart. Nothing beats someone opening-up on their blog to people they probably will never meet and who may even judge them … More It’s Nice to Meet You
It feels like ages since I last wrote a blogpost. Like, literally ages. I’ve grown old and grown a beard in the amount of time I’ve fucked off for – wait, no – excuse my language – taken a ‘little hiatus’ for. You see, as many who find themselves in the predicament where they don’t … More A Little Hiatus
