Hey everyone! I hope you’re all well and had some moments of joy in the glorious month of January! I am by no means being sarcastic here – I’m a big fan of January since it’s my birthday month, and I feel the need to shout from the virtual rooftops about how great a month […]
Hey everyone! I’ve low-key abandoned this blog since starting my teacher training back in September of 2022. It was by no means my intention, but with an intensive course taking up every second of my day, it’s hard to find a tiny bit of mental capacity to sit and write something well-thought-out and actually interesting. […]
Hey everyone! We’re well into the New Year at this point, so in the words of our Lord and Saviour Lizzo… it’s about damned time to share my goals for 2023! I enjoy setting myself goals that are relatively realistic, with a sprinkle of a challenge in there too. I can’t be making life too […]
Hey everyone! With a new year just beginning, it’s that time where we look back on the year just gone as well as the year ahead. I thought I’d take the time to take a look at the goals I set myself for 2022, and see whether or not I was successful in achieving any […]
Hey everyone! I started writing this in December 2022, and found that time ran away with me, so I was never able to finish it before the new year! However, tradition goes that I write a post about the highs and lows of my year, and boy did 2022 have a mixture of everything! 2022 […]
Hey everyone! Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the “World’s First Book Town”, also known as Hay-on-Wye, located on the Welsh/English border. I’d only heard of this town for the first time this year, after seeing loads of Instagram posts about its summer book festival, so I instantly knew it had to go […]
Hey everyone! In September I started a postgraduate teaching degree, and since I am training to be a secondary English teacher, reading teen and YA fiction comes into play here. I’ve been told I’ll need to know my stuff when it comes to book recommendations for my future students, so I thought why not get […]
Hey everyone! It seems that this season has been the time of buying a fair few secondhand items and honestly… I love it. Buying secondhand is not only cheaper, but better for the environment and you can find yourself with some great deals too! I’m a big fan of the platform Depop, which is a […]
Hey everyone! I hope September has been treating you well, and that you’re on your way to feeling your most autumnal, spoopy self! I know I am, at least. It’s no secret that autumn is my favourite time of the year, and it’s made even better knowing that when the nights are getting a bit […]
Hey everyone! I recently visited Norway with my mum, sister, aunt and uncle and it was definitely a needed getaway. It was my first time in Norway, and it was great to finally see it, having visited all the other Scandinavian countries in the past. (Not including the Faroe Islands, but they’re definitely on my […]
