I don't actually [intentionally] celebrate Halloween but Happy Halloween to those who do! It's only become a big[ish] thing in the UK in recent years so it’s all still a little strange to me. I went to a Catholic Primary School (kindergarten) and Christian High School so Halloween wasn’t something promoted much given that it's… Continue reading Happy Halloween!
Things I Wish You Knew There is something in you, lighter than loyalty but darker than desertion indefinable enough to confine truth in my mouth it’s been 7 years and I finally feel the itch psychologists refer to but I am struggling to tell you.
“...because I rant not, neither rave of what I feel, can you be so shallow as to dream that I feel nothing?” ― R.D. Blackmore, Lorna Doone: A Romance of Exmoor Earlier today, I was stalking reading my friends blog (lifeinrhymesandlines) and came across a post she wrote back in 2013 that resonated with me.

But my difficulty with the word “no” and desire to see friends I hadn’t spent time with in a while won over. Luckily for me, two of the events were only a few miles… Continue reading One Saturday, Three Parties

I thought back to a couple of weeks ago (the beginning of the month) when I went to visit my best friend. She planned some birthday treats for me and one was… Continue reading Nostalgia: The Lake District
Just over a week ago (week ago…) my brother and his friends flew in to have a pool party at my parents’ house. And yes, it certainly was as indulgent as it sounds.
