This week, my mum and my sister and I took a day trip down to Portsmouth. I had only briefly been there once before, and they hadn't been at all so we were excited to explore around and do as many things as we could in a day! We got up really early and travelled … Continue reading What we did in Portsmouth

Work Experience
I know I'm not in Year 10 anymore and I should, in theory, be a full functioning adult who is at uni and has a summer job. But of course that's not the case, nor will it probably ever be. This week I have tried to embrace adult life, by taking a leaf out of … Continue reading Work Experience
Book Talk: Sleepless in Manhattan
I hadn't ever come across Sarah Morgan or read any of her books, but this one stood out to me on the shelf. Like the last book I read, I got through Sleepless in Manhattan in a matter of days! I've really been cracking on with my reading since I've been home and have had … Continue reading Book Talk: Sleepless in Manhattan
What we did in Center Parcs
This trip had been so long awaited, as I booked it back in September last year, and it was Tom's 21st birthday present from me. Center Parcs might just be my favourite place ever. I've had many amazing family holidays there and it has always been such a relaxing and comforting place for me. There … Continue reading What we did in Center Parcs
May Monthtage
This month the weather has finally started to get warmer and so my favourites mainly include some a few things that have helped me to feel a bit more summery and ready for the sunshine. As I am a pasty, pale thing throughout the year, by the time the sun comes out, people usually need to … Continue reading May Monthtage
Book Talk: Shopaholic to the Rescue
After taking my sweet time to read Me Before You, I sped through Shopaholic in just a few days! I started reading the Shopaholic series years ago, when I was probably about 13 and have followed Sophie Kinsella's writing ever since. Of all her books, the Shopaholic series is my favourite, and I have become … Continue reading Book Talk: Shopaholic to the Rescue
CatPawCino
I had heard of 'Cat Cafes' before but hadn't ever come across one on my travels. This week in Newcastle we decided to visit CatPawCino, which is a cat cafe, along the Quayside. I am in love with the name of this place, I love puns in names! We had walked past this place a … Continue reading CatPawCino
Getting a Tattoo
I've always wanted to get a tattoo at some point in my life, but I had no idea what I wanted or where I wanted it. I kind of thought that it would be way in the future. But for a few months now, I had been thinking about what I wanted and I came … Continue reading Getting a Tattoo
Book Talk: Me Before You
After a lot longer than I thought, I have finally finished reading Me Before You by Jojo Moyes. I don't know why it took me so long, because I really enjoyed reading it and I guess I haven't had much time to read over the last couple of weeks. But it has finally been read and … Continue reading Book Talk: Me Before You
Moving Out
My first year of uni is up and I have been spending this week sorting out all of my things and packing up my lovely little room. I had so much more stuff than I thought. I have had such a good time living in halls, although I am really excited to move into my … Continue reading Moving Out
