Regardless of the fact that I seem to find myself uncharacteristically un-festive this year, I do love Christmas. I love the season of giving and gratitude, love and reflection. I love spending time with loved ones and being grateful for our health and happiness, and the ability to spend time all together. But this year, […]
MoreI recently read A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara, and 814 pages later, it’s fair to say that it’s the most brilliant/devastating book I’ve ever read.

So interesting that I have to share it as I genuinely feel like this sort of thing only happens to me and I’d like some reassurance! Firstly, those […]
MoreThis is another post taken from my old blog, but the importance of what I observed that day still stands, so here it is again! So as some of you might know, I took part in the Bupa Manchester 10k on Sunday thanksto my amazing friend Jo for pushing me to do it. I started […]
MoreThis blog post was originally posted on my old blog on 12th May 2012, hence the difference you should (hopefully) see in my writing style! So yesterday I was watching loose women (yes all I do is watch TV lately but it was relax time before I went to work), and they started talking about […]
