  • Harrogate Church

  • Chick Flicks Worth Watching

    I saw the new Ghostbusters film the other day. It’s attracted a fair bit of attention, not just because it’s a beloved franchise reboot, but also because (omigod) the main cast are all women. Which has led to some people saying it ruins the beloved franchise. Yeah yeah, women playing traditionally male roles should never…

  • You’ve Just Graduated – Now What?

    About a year ago I donned the graduation gown and cap, and did what every graduate fears: walking across the stage to graduate without falling over in front of your friends, family and professors. Then to step out into the wide, wide world and take on adult, working life. It was terrifying, mainly because I…

  • First Impressions of Lupus

    It’s been just over 2 months since I received my lupus diagnosis and started on all the treatment and medication that entails. I’ve discussed things with friends and family, I’ve already seen a multitude of doctors, and god knows how many blood tests I’ve had (I think I’m finally getting used to them – have only fainted…

  • The Real World: Not for Uni Students Apparently

    Since the Brexit referendum there have been many debates and topics fueling fall outs in British households and across social media. It’s gotten touchy and sensitive, and people have been judged harshly on whether they’re ‘remain’ or ‘leave’. One of the topics I have noticed popping up more frequently since this Brexit debacle is the…

  • Oh God, Britain

    You have probably read in the news somewhere that last week the U.K. voted to leave the EU by a slim majority. It’s a big deal, not just affecting us Brits but the rest of the EU member states and even the world. I won’t go into the details of why I think the leave…

  • Places to Go: Current Travel Bucket List

    Nearly a year ago I wrote this post about travel destinations I am super keen to visit. I have visited zero of them (whoops), but they are still my top destinations I am determined to visit in my life. However some of these are still quite fanciful, due to money/time/difficulty to make the trip. So I also have…

  • The Alhambra

      The Alhambra in Granada is one of the must see places if you ever visit the beautiful city. The Moorish influence of Spain is more prominent in the southern regions of the country than the north, and the Alhambra is an amazing example of this rich heritage. Except tickets are in high demand, and…

  • Seville Cathedral//Expired Polaroid

    Seville is a beautiful city in the Andalusian region of Spain, and the cathedral is a magnificent building! The day I took this was glorious and blue, but the use of expired film created a vintage effect that is no less beautiful.

Got any book recommendations?
