This is by far the hardest post I have had to write, mainly as I know that the words I tie together into sentences will do no justice to what I want to tell you about. Regardless of this I have decided to tell you about Pamela James, my grandmother who died this week at … Continue reading The words we tie together in tribute

Post-back and Three Song Playlists
This week I got a message from WordPress telling me that I have been blogging for five years. To celebrate my half a decade of blogging, I'm going to introduce two new features to my blog and the posts that go on it.

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.

So my graffiti week has come to a close. I've given you all a glimpse into the beautiful and illegal art form. Now I want to hear or see your favourite pieces of graffiti, from a slogan scribbled on a bathroom door to billboard sized extravaganzas. For my next few posts I will be going … Continue reading Art on the Streets of Paris #7
My Mind Actually in the Clouds
For my more regular readers you will understand the title of this entry. For those who are new to my random ramblings then see the freshly pressed prequel here. Although it wasn't heading to India a bit of travel is always good for the soul. (p.s. those are clouds not hills as a lot of … Continue reading My Mind Actually in the Clouds

Staring at a blank page, not because you don't know what to write, but because you simply don't know where to begin.
