‘The brightness makes the darkness hell’. This was used in a PGCE induction talk about poetry I recently had. Although it was used to demonstrate a child’s ability to use poetic writing (yes a five-year-old wrote this), I believe that this week has given me a massive realisation as to my meaning of life. I’ve suddenly become a bit dramatic... Read the rest of this post...

I recently made a major decision that will change my life. Since then, other parts of my life have really improved. 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...

If I could give one bit of advice to anyone, it would be: go and talk to old people. Why? Because they will be able to offer you more. Grandparents are just brilliant. I could listen to my nan and grandad all day because they truly have the best conversations. I genuinely think more interesting and meaningful stuff comes out... Read the rest of this post...

A few days ago I came across something that further confused my already complicated relationship with make-up: this. My first reaction was amazement. I have never used nor experienced make-up being used like this before (make-up isn’t exactly my forte). Of course I’m not completely oblivious. I know it can work wonders. I realise that the right make-up can create... Read the rest of this post...

It is with a little bit of sadness that I write this post, but last week I was dumped, simple as that and although I’m an avid fan of rom-coms and the empowering hails of Cher and Beyonce, I didn’t exactly follow the standard Bridget-esque routine (well, there was wine). After spending the day bonding over cats in Soho’s cat... Read the rest of this post...

When I booked tickets to head home for the long Easter weekend, I was looking forward to taking a ‘breather’ – I hadn’t left the big city in over 3 months and missed the countryside. So besides baking, drinking ridiculous amounts of tea and hanging out with my family, I took a long bike ride, went for two woodland walks... Read the rest of this post...

I’m not someone who has ever had a set plan; I have dreams and aspirations but I’ve learnt that there is so much you cannot plan for and, as you change and develop as a person, the things you want from life also change. This month, I want to share something with you all. I hope you find encouragement from... Read the rest of this post...

Last week, I was struck down with a very horrible, unrelenting bout of flu. I was bed-bound for the first three days, sleeping for upwards of 18 hours of the day, only waking up when the painkillers ceased working. I drank pints upon pints of squash, all the variations of tea and honey I could muster from our extensive tea... Read the rest of this post...

There are times in our lives when Murphy’s Law seems to be in full effect, and everything that can go wrong really does go wrong. Perhaps money gets tight or you encounter constant failure. Or maybe a loved one is lost. Or a medical report comes back with terrible news. Either way, these experiences can have you questioning a lot,... Read the rest of this post...

When I was a baby my parents had nothing. All their belongings were in a couple of bin liners and we lived in a run-down house with no carpet in a dodgy neighborhood. My dad worked around the clock to support my mum who was taking care of me at home. They were very young and I had been an unexpected bundle of Joy!
