So when I was in Year 12/Lower 6th (or 16-17years old for all you none english schooling peeps) I desperately wanted a pair of red and black faux snakeskin peep-toe heels. They sound stunning I know! Sadly for you all that unless you purchased your own pair in 2000 at your local River Island, then … Continue reading Those big green eyes…all the better to want it all with

Hallelujah: Can I have some Peace with those peas
It's holiday season, guys I know because I was in a garden centre looking at decorations listening to a male (senior in years) quartet sing 50s tunes, whilst sipping on a mulled cider. I did say holiday for a reason, no I am not shunning my Christian roots. Yes it's Christmas. But it's also about … Continue reading Hallelujah: Can I have some Peace with those peas
Being needy
At times I like to have your hand on my back as I sleep, like she needs ours. It is reassuring...a reminder of your presence but also mine. Like tucking the covers around me, to make a cocoon-which remind me of where I begin and end. It brings a certainty to the blurriness. A clarity … Continue reading Being needy
Hot tubs in a field…it works
You know what else works... watching great films from the 90s with huge american sized mugs of tea and flapjack cookies, with a blanket over you and your school friends legs in one of their living rooms. Or laughing so hard at a story in outdoor hot tub, you throw your head forward in a … Continue reading Hot tubs in a field…it works
Let’s change the narrative
This is typical of me-I am about to blog my thoughts on a topic I have not a huge depth of knowledge about but have had lots of conversations about, have shed tears over and felt utterly lost around the issue. Well kids what a fun start that is!! But yes, as clearly stated in … Continue reading Let’s change the narrative
Why does he do that?
I know some of you read this blog, not to laugh at my witty insights (although at rare moments they can be absolute genius, if I do say so myself), nor to marvel at my knowledge of 90s pop culture (I really should have written for Smash Hits (well ideally some TV version of Smash … Continue reading Why does he do that?
Protect or Prevent
After one of the previous storms (Callum or Betty or whoever...this naming thing seems all very surreal) I was walking around a local woodland and came across these young trees which were encased in protective cases, but the wind had bent them all over the place. This got me thinking...what happens when the things we … Continue reading Protect or Prevent
It’s only Wednesday…
Say what? How can that be...this week has dragged and has been emotional. I mean Blue Peter is 60 years old y'all?? And I just watched a little montage and I was reminded of all the pets that came and went on the short time I was watching it...also felt the regret of 1) having … Continue reading It’s only Wednesday…
Cooler in my head
Anyone else get out of the shower and as they are getting dressed do approximately 30 seconds of jumping about/raving and consider that a good exercise for the start of the day? I mean if those vibrating plates, that are constantly advertised on the shopping channels early in the morning, work-surely jiggling and wiggling works? … Continue reading Cooler in my head
the best and worst of me
Yesterday was #worldmentalhealthday and unhelpfully I couldn't finish this post because I was struggling, in particular last night I found myself a bit like a startled rabbit in headlights- irrational fears and paranoia were swimming around my head. The truth is, like many of us, I have good and bad days. The good days definitely … Continue reading the best and worst of me
