As you may or may not know, I don’t do new years resolutions. Nope, I’m more of a ‘go with the flow/ see what happens/ work hard and hope for the best’ kind of girl. So rather than listing all of the things that I hope to achieve in 2016, I’ll just do a quick review … More Hasta Luego 2015!
It was a cool clear winter’s night, the snow was falling, a full moon was out and there she was, slumped in her seat. Headphones in and gazing dreamily out of the frosty tour bus window; she was on her way to catch a glimpse of the illustrious Northern Lights. They’d been ploughing along the winding grit-laced roads for about … More A Magical Night
So my family all jetted off to India yesterday. They’re away for two weeks to attend a wedding in Punjab, but sadly I couldn’t join them because I’ve reached the limit on my annual-leave allowance at work. Now I say ‘sadly’ but, cards on the table, I wasn’t really that upset about it. From the second that their tickets were booked, I … More Home Alone

So with that in mind, if I happen to be going through a tough time I know that there are seven things that I can do (in no particular order) … More Glass Half Full
I came across a quote this morning, something along the lines of: ‘I’m happy to report that my inner child is still ageless’. And it made me smile because it’s got my name written all over it! I’d happily have it blown up as a monster-sized, multicoloured poster on my bedroom wall because I can … More It’s My Birthday!
So if you’ve been following my blog you’ll know that I don’t usually do shout-outs to individual people in my life, but today calls for an exception…I’ll explain. This morning I bumped into my cousin on the train. Now I am not a morning person in the slightest; I’m that person who wears a DO NOT DISTURB … More An Absolute Legend
Isn’t it mind-boggling when you take a second to contemplate just how multifaceted we are as people? Have you ever thought about the way in which we unwittingly switch character roles when we’re in the presence of different people?
