Inside a Mind

Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • First Impressions of Burgos

    After all the craziness of moving to another country about a week after receiving the job offer, I feel like I’ve neglected this blog a bit. Half written posts are still only half written, and I haven’t had a new post idea in weeks. But ah well. So I decided to just write a little…

  • A Misty Day in Yorkshire

    Before my departure to Spain, my mum and her partner (just back from a holiday in Spain themselves) decided to take me on a day out to experience just a taste of what the beautiful Yorkshire has to offer. First stop was to have tea and coffee in a location that clearly hosts a lot…

  • So I’m off to teach English in Spain…

    After a couple of months of various Skype interviews and a billion applications, soon I will be heading to Burgos in the North of Spain to spend the academic year working as a teaching assistant at a local school. Excited? Very, there is probably no better way to increase my skill as a Spanish speaker. And a year abroad…

  • The Moon has a strange look tonight…

    Last night was the rare occurrence of a super blood moon. Sadly, and typically, at the prime viewing time the sky was too cloudy to see anything. Happily beforehand I managed to tinker about with my camera and get a few good shots of the moon, this being my favourite.

  • Trip to Brighton

    A few photos from back in July when my dad took me to Brighton as a birthday day trip! The Royal Pavilion and Art Gallery – The gardens were beautiful and blooming with flowers. Apparently by law the grass must be kept relatively long, so the royalty who would stay here could comfortably walk on…

  • Wandering around Manchester

    I booked a last minute train journey to Manchester, as my sister and her boyfriend had a spare ticket to see a brass band play. Why the hell not. The next day I had the afternoon to myself. I’m currently in the middle of a photography course, so I was keen to get to grips…

  • Men in the Media Who are Awesome Feminists

    There are a lot of discussions when it comes to men and feminism. Can men be feminists? (Erm, yes, ofc). Are they not intimidated by the word feminism? Why not use the term gender equality? (Personally I think it’s daft to get so hung up by the name, feminism = gender equality, simple as that).…

  • London Life on a Budget

    I lived in and out of London for the best part of three years during my university studies, and whilst I came to call it my home, it can still be the daunting giant every non-Londoner views it as. Whilst I learnt to navigate the underground, roll my eyes at slow walking tourists and now I pay…

  • Playing with Otis

    And by playing I mean dangling a treat so he would actually get into the shot. I swear he knew I wanted to take a photo of him so he deliberately ignored my calls.

  • On Yer Bike

    There are still traces of when two stages of the Tour de France were held in Yorkshire, including this guy in Holmsfirth.

Got any book recommendations?
