Love? Life? Joy!
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...

Today, I found myself in a situation I didn’t really want to be in – it was a situation that was going to hurt and upset a very old friend. It was a situation that had me backed into a corner and there was no way out but to be brutally honest and take the punches. But it got me... Read the rest of this post...

Yesterday, something awesome happened in England and Wales. Yesterday, same sex marriage became legal. David Cameron, this is the first good thing you have done for this country. Well done. We still have a long way to go of course – educating school children to try and stamp out prejudice. Even educating adults about one simple fact – whether couples... Read the rest of this post...

The #nomakeupselfie trend took social media by storm this week – and boy did it spark up some debate! “It’s vain” “It’s narcissistic” “I don’t see the point” “It’s just a shame it takes online media and even vanity to highlight a disease we all clearly know about and many other causes and so we should be donating naturally.” “Going...

I’m currently sat with a raging hangover, still in my pyjamas and covered in bruises from last night’s birthday celebrations at the local roller disco (who’d have thought we’d be saying that in 2014?) In two days I’m 25. TWENTY FIVE. Quarter of a century, half way to fifty. A milestone I’ve been dreading for a long time. I’m one... Read the rest of this post...

The other day I was at the swimming pool. Up down, up down. 64 lengths. One mile. I do this four times a week to keep fit whilst the weather is too vile to go running or cycling or to tramp across the coast path. There were two girls leaning against the wall at the shallow end. Every time I... 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.

As I sit here writing this, tucked up in bed with the rugby on the telly (COME ON ENGLAND), a bit of a hangover and an unexplained broken toe (pay day, plus booze…) I feel like the safest and least spontaneous person on the planet. But last night I practised what I preach and said yes to an opportunity that... Read the rest of this post...

I’ve got this thing where I just can’t say no to anything – especially a night out with my favourite people. Scrap that, even a night out with a group of people I’ve only just met. I hate missing out. What if it’s the best night of the year? What if my friend does something so funny that nobody stops talking... Read the rest of this post...
