Whilst I was buying Christmas presents a little while ago from The Works, I was just a few pounds short of getting free delivery. Rather than pay the few quid for something I can't use or see, I, like many others, decided to take advantage of the famous 3 for £5 offer. You do have …

World Mental Health Day
Saturday 10th October. World Mental Health Day. A day where my social media bloomed with people sharing their own experiences, recognising how important our mental health is, and sharing the ever important phrase, 'It's okay not to be okay'. I have not shied away from the fact that I've had my own mental health battles, …
Zelda’s Cut – a weird yet wonderful tale of a woman and man’s transformation into their own desires
Philippa Gregory You intrigue, baffle and almost appallingly amaze me at times. Yet I am forever hooked on a novel that bears your name on the cover. My own vice - novel, white wine and a Krispy Kreme! Zelda's Cut was a charity shop find. Goes along the lines of, Oh there's a Philippa Gregory …
Anne Boleyn
Anne Boleyn will always be to me, along the same mysterious lines of the princes in the tower. I have read many novels on her but not for a long while, and I always come away questioning her. Was she scandalous? Did she have affairs? Did she have an incestuous affair? These questions to me …
Be thankful
I have been writing notes lately on a new blog about my experience of lockdown, which actually, has been quite positive. Surprisingly! I thought I'd be hating every moment! I shall still do that post, but last night and this morning, I thought it important to do a simple post. On announcement that our lockdown …
My Lockdown Reads
A few blogs back, I started doing book reviews. I thoroughly enjoyed the ones I did, and as I am spending my lockdown reading more, it felt apt to delve into another book review. My four reads so far have been the below little gems....I hope you enjoy! The Liverpool Rose by Katie Flynn Katie …
Lockdown 2020
Lockdown. The very word struck me with fear and sadness. The coronavirus was never meant to get this far. To get to this scale. In my job, I talk with people from all over the world daily. Coronavirus was happening elsewhere. It wasn't going to come here and affect us. Of course it wasn't! Day …
Be kind.
In the wake of the tragic death of Caroline Flack, I felt compelled to put pen to paper (or rather fingers to keyboard). These last two weeks for me have been filled with fun, laughter and happiness with the wonderful people in my life celebrating my 30th birthday. I do intend to reflect back on …
What January Meant to Me
Was it just me, or did January feel like a year in itself? Welcoming February in is both refreshing and exciting. But to concentrate on January first..... I feel like I had a serious case of the January blues. My life went from 100 to 10 in a matter of days. In the lead up …
My First Book Blog / Review
Following on from my last blog, I promised that I would delve into the world of a book review in my blog. To be honest, this was not my intention when I first started this blog but as I was reading my last books, I thought it may be nice to finish them off by …
