  • 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…

  • Viaduct

    The other day I went exploring the beautiful Yorkshire countryside with my mum and grandparents. This did also involve getting lost down some windy roads and getting up close and friendly with some cows…Yorkshire is great! This is the last photo I took with some expired film I’ve had for ages. I’ve recently bought some of…

  • British Modern Comedy TV Shows Well Worth Watching

      God that’s a long title. I probably should have used something wittier, especially as this is a post about British comedy. We have produced, in my opinion, some of the wittiest comedians out there, and some amazing comic actors and writers whose deliverance of lines have created some of the finest moments in comedy.…

  • Two Countries, Two Lives

      Every country has its quirks, its benefits, and the little reasons that make living there quite peachy, even if you don’t appreciate these qualities unless you’re elsewhere. I won’t say I’m missing England with incurable homesickness (no offence England but not at all), however there are some things I miss.   And of course,…

  • Expat vs Immigrant – Why One and Not the Other?

    Yep, I am allowed to go around calling myself an expat. Doesn’t it sound glamorous – like my days are filled with multilingualism and drinking good wine (and not being totally out of my depth in Spanish and nursing the occasional “oh god what fresh hell is this” hangover, I assure you).   But why do…

  • Quintessentially English Novels

    I love the word quintessentially. It sounds like such an English word itself, so when used to describe something very much English I feel like dressing in tweed and plaid, and having a cup of afternoon tea. (Have actually just polished off a cup of Earl Grey. Oh and I’ve discovered Tetley tea in my…

  • 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…

  • 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…
