  • Beautiful Literary Quotes

    Everybody likes quotes. They are constantly posted on social media, and those (allegedly) by Marilyn Monroe seem to be the most popular. Inspirational things to never give up, that no one understands your pain, or that you don’t need no man. But to me, some of the best quotes for life come from my bookshelf.…

  • Travel Momentoes

    It sometimes feels like an innate part of human nature to desire a souvenir of their experiences. To remind us when we’re old that we really did have a life, and an amazing one at that. Particularly on our travels, so we have something to fondly remember the best times of our lives. World Map…

  • Ooo another Liebster Award…

  • Reasons Why Yorkshire is Amazing

(Is it lame to use a fancy camera for mirror selfies?…

  • Poems to Get You Through Life

    As an English Literature graduate, I am naturally a massive nerd for poetry. When you don’t have time to sit down and lose yourself in a chunky novel, sometimes the beautiful construction of poetry is great to use for a little time out. It also can be a great source of inspiration to get you…

  • Road Trip Films to Watch

    So, I’ve done post about wanderlust novels and a post about wanderlust songs, so now I fancy writing a post about wanderlust films. Or road trip films to be more specific. I’m keen to get a few road trips under my belt: perhaps the full Route 66, maybe around countries such as France or Italy, or even to…

  • Overlooking Emley Moor Mast

    Emley Moor Mast is a transmitting station located in West Yorkshire, England, close to where I grew up. With the cows and the fields, this is possibly the most Yorkshire photo I have every taken.

Got any book recommendations?
