As seen on TV... But seriously though, it would appear that beloved TV shows who present nice guys as the central character, perhaps unintentionally offer instead a fuckboy in disguise. And, in my opinion, the worst of fuckboys because it is they themselves who insist they are nice guys, and believe they are entitled to [...]

Novels to make you think
Being tied up with university and far too many deadlines has meant my reading for pleasure is on hold for the moment. I miss it. I got so many books for Christmas, and had to leave them all behind *sob*. But I was reflecting on novels I have already read. Novels that stay with you [...]
Little Things I Miss About Britain…
I love living in Spain, I love the culture, the lifestyle, and that I feel like it's made me a warmer person (ish...) But I also am very stereotypically British, and no matter how amazing our adopted country is, there are always some little things that can make you homesick... I wrote a similar post about a [...]
Granada
The final destination of my Easter trip to Andalusia was the beautiful Granada. The Semana Santa processions were winding up, but we still managed to catch some sights (including a Virgin Mary float that is carried solely by women). As the south of Spain has a huge Arabic culture, it was the perfect place to [...]
Semana Santa in Seville
During the Easter break earlier this year I hopped in a car and travelled to the Andalusia region of southern Spain, swapping the cold north of Burgos for sun, sunglasses and the slightest of tans... First stop was Seville, which is often reported to be one of the best cities in Spain to visit for [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Best Places to Wine and Dine in Burgos
Perhaps one day you will find yourself in the cold, northern Spanish city of Burgos. I'd certainly recommend a visit: its cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and its second main attraction is a fascinating Museum of Human Evolution, and its certainly pretty enough to make you want to spend the day taking hundreds of [...]
San Lesmes
Today in Burgos was the festival of San Lesmes - the patron saint of the city. Inquiring about it, it didn't seem like it was celebrated by many locals, but definitely thought it worth checking out! There was a parade (which we overslept for), food stalls with giant queues, but best of all was seeing [...]
