Never in my life did I even consider myself a runner... I guess lockdown changes all sorts! I don't want this blog post to be like a "oh my god look at me and what I'm doing" blog post, nor do I want it to be a "this is how you do it" post cause … Continue reading Tales of a (not so) runner…
Hello! So here we go: week 3 of lockdown. As I write this, we haven't had any updates on how long lockdown will be lasting, but I don't see it being over any time soon, and I certainly don't think my life will be going back to normal any time soon. I have days when … Continue reading What’s keeping you going?

There's a lot going on in the world at the minute, isn't there? It's all a bit crazy and a bit sad and a bit scary. On both a … Continue reading Letters to… teachers up and down the land
Half term wins... Reading an awful lot of books. Going to London. Receving a proof I never thought I'd own. Sending messages to friends. Having a working date and actually being productive. Spending time with a twiglet and a Joey. Having many many delicious breakfasts. Being productive. Doing something I'm really proud of. Geordie Gifts. … Continue reading Half term wins

Every year, I write a letter to myself as a reminder of, I don't even know what. But it's a little space for me to just let out some steam; to give myself a pep talk when I need it most; to just talk through some of the things I need to talk through. I … Continue reading Letter to myself…
Hello! I've decided that I'm going to make Monday a "me" post day. By that I don't mean I'm going to be posting all about me... but it's not necessarily going to be a bookish day: it might be about school, about my life, about my MH: it'll be something personal, not necessarily bookish. It … Continue reading Monday = Me day
The start of a new decade is a funny thing. We all know I'm a proper sentamentalist and I'm an emotional person. Seeing everyone's posts about 2010 vs 2020 made me think about all of the things that happened to me from 2010-2019. I went into it thinking "I've not really achieved/done a lot in … Continue reading A decade in the life of me…
Hello! For those who have been reading my blog for a while, you might have noticed that I have been a bit absent for this month... I'll be honest, I was just TIRED. I suffer quite badly from SAD (Seasonal Affected Disorder) in Winter and this year it made me SO uninspired and indifferent to … Continue reading Where have you been?
Being a blogger is something that has taken over a massive part of my life and I love it. I sit on a Sunday and I blog. I'm very much a creature of habit. Sundays are dedicated to a bit of time in town. I come home, do some work for the week ahead of … Continue reading Being a blogger…
