  • Ones to Watch: Great Film Adaptions of Great Novels

    There is a lot of satisfaction when, coming out of the cinema or tuning off the DVD player, you can say “It wasn’t as good as the book”. And then you bore your friends/partner/family by ranting about what the film adaption left out from the book, and how those missing pieces are what made the…

  • Book Series that Defined My Childhood

    For as long as I can remember I’ve been a bookworm. My mum always feared I would struggle in school, because as a toddler I couldn’t do 4 piece jigsaws or figure out shape sorter toys, but when I brought a book home and read it to her, her fears more or less went away. Childhood literature…

  • Victoria Park, London

    After a stressful Sunday morning of my phone suddenly dying on me and wondering how I could ever live without it, I decided to wander around Victoria Park in London to take photos and to relax. It has been forecast to snow later this week, and although it was biting cold there was something relaxing about…

  • What to expect from an Intercultural Relationship

    I am a British girl, who drinks tea, tuts quietly to herself and complains about the weather. My boyfriend of nearly 2 years is Brazilian who drinks coffee, loves the beach, but to break the stereotype he hates football (shocking). Our relationship spreads between two continents, visiting each other’s hometowns and slowly learning about one another’s…

  • The Everyday Traveller: How travelling benefits your everyday life

    It’s not a little known fact that travelling is one of the best classes you can take at ‘the university of life’. Not only does it give you priceless memories and experiences, but it can really help in skills such as making bookings, navigating strange airports and coach stations, your ability to cope with unexpected…

  • How London Can Turn a Student into an Adult

    I suppose everybody thinks their university, and the city they studied in, is the best. I quite happily argue this, as London is often voted one of the best in the world. Not surprising for the capital of England, which boasts some of the U.K’s top universities. Student satisfaction is generally high.   There are a number of…

  • A Wintry Walk

    I hope everyone had a lovely and enjoyable Christmas. I know I did, I’ve eaten so much in the past week I struggled with my Christmas dinner. Managed to pull through though and scoffed a mince pie and some Christmas pudding after. I received a lot of lovely gifts: a coat with a tea cup pattern on…

  • India’s Rape Culture

    Originally posted on Just A Small Town Girl…: Today it’s been exactly two years since the brutal gang rape of 23 year old physiotheraphy student Jyoti Singh on a bus in Delhi, a case which provoked outrage all over the world. Since then there have been a number of high profile sexual violence-related stories stemming from India,…

  • Novels of Note

    For a previous post I talked/rambled/gushed about a few favourite writers of mine, and which of their works I would advocate anyone to read. For this very similar post I’m going to talk/ramble/gush about which novels I have read (and nothing else by the author). And of course there are abundant novels out there, more than I…
