So this week I earned an Olympic medal... Ok, that is a slight embellishment of the truth but I got your attention right? In actual fact I just took part in another of my 10Ks, this one's route circumnavigated the Olympic Park in London.

A Box of Photographs
Yesterday, in the room I used to call my world in my parents house I found a box. It was a box I packed away on the eve of my graduation from university all those years ago and had not touched it since. In it was nothing but photographs; arty shots I took long before … Continue reading A Box of Photographs
For we are all stories in the end
This quote has been floating around my head for the last month and since I have been tragically bad at writing a blog post lately I thought I would discuss the idea of chapters in one’s life and the stories we create. “I’ll be a story in your head. But that’s ok: we’re all stories, … Continue reading For we are all stories in the end
Finishing a Book
There is a strange feeling in finishing something you were so invested in. I’ve recently finished two long brilliant novels and it has got me thinking about endings. I have always flicked to the end of a book to see what number the book ends on, so I can count down to the final page. … Continue reading Finishing a Book

Letter to my 15 year old self
I have been musing with the idea of writing a blog post about what I would say to my younger self for a while. It's a scenario regularly visited by soaps and sitcoms when they run out of ideas but it poses an important notion; if you could change anything in your past what would … Continue reading Letter to my 15 year old self
No Words…
Staring at a blank page, not because you don't know what to write, but because you simply don't know where to begin.
100th post and still going
On July 6th 2010 this blog was born. Born out of my desire to carry on writing following my graduation which meant I couldn't write for student papers anymore. It began as a creative outlet, when my creativity felt stifled by other parts of my life. It has become so much more than that though. … Continue reading 100th post and still going
A song for uncertain times
Although this song was released in August, 2006 never has it's lyrics rung more true. So for anyone facing uncertain times or just a bit dissatisfied by the state of the world give the lyrics a read and more importantly listen to the song. The song, by John Mayer, popped into my shuffled selection of … Continue reading A song for uncertain times
