Love? Life? Joy!
(Warning: This Post Contains Banana Bread) There were highs, there were lows, there was car sickness there was health, there was sheep poo and dog carriers, and my gilet will NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN… Snowdon was the first mountain of many (I hope) to climb. But, to be honest, as it was the first one, it was a bit... Read the rest of this post...

It all began with Pinterest. Man, I love to pin! Earlier this year I kept coming across all these incredibly self-indulgent pics of girls on mountains facing these epic landscapes with titles like ‘Wanderlust’ and ‘Into the Wild’ and all that kind of yuppie crap… And that’s when it hit me… I wanna do that! I want to do the yuppie... Read the rest of this post...

Old habits die hard. Or do they? Over one of the many Easter-time bank holidays, a friend of mine visited me in London for a few days. Coming from the country, she’d bought a glossy women’s magazine to occupy her during the journey. I’m not one to buy magazines – so rarely read them. Flicking through her shiny copy of...

There are two types of people in the world. One that will murder you to steal your food, medical supplies and survival tools in the case of a zombie apocalypse. And another that would front the resistance and stand on the frontline in the battle for human survival. The former is an ‘every-man-for-him/herself’ dude, [s]he will do anything, and I...

Everything around me has taken on the glisten of wonderment that I hadn’t seen there previously. So, its probably about time I told the world. Or, at least, those in it who don’t already know… I’m moving to China.... Read the rest of this post...

Yesterday evening I was sat in my car, I won’t tell you the context of the situation, but I will tell you I was distressed. In fact the whole drive home was accompanied with a long and emotional monologue. ‘I’m trapped.’ I repeated to myself ‘I’m trapped and I don’t know what to do. I just don’t.’ We’ve all had...

Making a big decision to jack in the job and chase the dream is never an easy one. There is never going to be a good time to move away from family, friends and the long, hazy summers of beaches and festivals that Cornwall always promises. But last week I did just that – last week, I handed in my... Read the rest of this post...

I am not an adventurous person in the slightest. I like my home comforts, my own things and my own bed. But, a couple of months ago, myself and my friend Sarah spontaneously booked a few days away in Dublin. Okay, it wasn’t completely spontaneous. We had talked about it for a while. But it seemed like one of those... Read the rest of this post...

Jenny Jones. Olympic medallist, XGames gold-medaller and all-round badass. She started at the bottom and has worked the ski-season slog in chalets, in a cardboard factory and as a doughnut seller to pay her way through training her bad-self to be as awesome as she is. There are a few things we can all learn from Jenny that don’t include... Read the rest of this post...

It’s Sunday afternoon and I’ve already found myself in several compromising situations since I left work Friday evening – nudity, ridiculous amounts of booze and slipping over in a ton of mud on a cliff top in front of someone who brought out all the awkward inside of me are just the tip of the iceberg. But today isn’t about... Read the rest of this post...
