2017 Reading Challenge

What am I reading this month? #2017ReadingChallenge #February #lbloggers

One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to read more. I love books, always have and probably always will. I’m an English Literature Graduate and a current Creative Writing MA student so I’m pretty used to reading books quickly searching for points to make in class. That’s all fine and dandy for Uni. work, but when it comes to my personal reading list… it’s sort of, kind of, well… non-existent. THERE…

January 2017

How did your first month of 2017 turn out? Mine wasn't half bad #lbloggers #January2017

January is always that one month that goes by unnoticed, almost. I say ‘almost’ in the most haphazard of ways, as obviously stuff happened and I lived through it, but when it came to writing this post, I struggled to think of what I’d actually done, PHYSICALLY done, this month. You know, like the things that you’d want to write about, rather than ‘I did all the washing up’ or ‘I have clean…

Pumpkin Grave

A piece of creative writing about pumpkins. #CreativeWriting #Blogger #Halloween

Looking out over the field of bulbous mounds, I shudder at the thought of what may lie underneath it all. The repetitive growth of globular tumours wherever I look coats the earth in a muted orange hue. It is as if the sun has delegated the last of its light to these pumpkins. It feels quite comforting to be amongst them, smothered in their stolen light. It certainly distracts from the…

5 Nostalgic Halloween Films

Here are 5 nostalgic Halloween films. Have you watched these yet? @BloggerBees #Halloween

When it comes to Halloween my friends will be the first to tell you that I am up for the whole caboodle. I mean, I’ll dress up, make-up and stuff myself silly with candy. Now, that’s all good and fun, and to be fair I’m up for that any day of the year, but when it comes to it, my favourite part of Halloween has to be all the scary films that they put on T.V. There’s seriously nothing better than…

Unknown No.2

Just a teeny, tiny life update #lbloggers #bloggers @UKBlog_RT

Autumn days have fallen swiftly upon us, and I can feel myself stumbling trying to keep up with my favourite season. I have so much that I want to do to get the most out of autumn, that I barely do anything. Does that make sense to you? I had such high hopes for this season; I wanted every day to do something, anything, autumnal. I wanted to wear exceedingly warm scarves and hats. I wanted to…

Unknown No.1

For a while now I’ve been wanting to write something a bit more in-depth on this blog. Something with a bit of meat, shall we say. A bit more ‘oompf’. ‘Oompf’ is probably a better word. Meat sounds dirty. Meat sounds like road-kill. I definitely don’t want any of that on here. Good start to a post, talking about road-kill. That’s Mondays for you. No, I want more ‘oompf’. Not the sort of ‘oompf’…

Meet the Fancy Rats

Meet my fancy rats: Mischa and Yeul! They're spiffing #FancyRats #RatsonTwitter #RatLove

In my previous blog post, all about how I thought my blog sucked (click here to revel in such content), I spoke about how I want this blog to act as a platform for educating people on those vile and disgusting creatures, rats. Wait, wait. Hang on a second. I’m intelligent aren’t I? I don’t fall for all that propaganda mumble-jumble, do I? No. So then why do I think rats are vile and disgusting?…

This Blog Sucks

For the last couple of weeks I have actually hated my blog. Not in a murderous sort of way, I won’t be pushing that big red button just yet, but ‘hate’ in the sense that whenever I thought to myself “I’m going to sit down and write that post”, I just wouldn’t. And it wasn’t a question of wouldn’t or couldn’t, it was legitimately wouldn’t, because I had fallen out of love with all of my ideas.…

Hazelnut and maple syrup biscuits

THESE ARE DELICIOUS. Nigel Slater is AMAZING. #baking #nigelslater #ayearofgoodeating

Home. When someone says to me to think of home, I don’t think of a house. I don’t think of my mother, even though I probably should. I don’t even think of my brother or my pets, which makes me feel equally as guilty as not thinking about my mother. No, I think of food. I think of food and I think of B.B.G. One thing that university has taught me, along with all the bits and bobs it was meant to…

Tokyo's Cat Town

Ever wondered what Tokyo's Cat Town was like? #Tokyo #Yanaka #Year Abroad

Living in a city, or near one, can sometimes take its toll on your so-called inner spirit. Surrounded by high-rise buildings, never having a TRULY quiet moment to yourself, and having to ‘follow the crowd’ wherever you go can get tiresome. No, no, more than tiresome, PISS-ASS BORING. Seriously, one of the things I hated most about Tokyo was ALL THE PEOPLE. Now, now, don’t look at me like that…

London

London is, hands down, the best city in the world. I mean, I’ve only really been to three cities (shoutout to Tokyo and Budapest). But London, London, mate. It’s my home’s capital. It’s my bae. B.B.G and I thought to hell with life, and so we made a lil’ sneaky trip up to London. Just look at all this beauty. This majesty. It’s so aesthetically pleasing to see such old and new coexisting…
