Today I am totally feeling Autumn and all things Halloween. I am in no way party to celebrating evil spirits etcetera etcetera but I love a good spooky bash. The release of Stranger Things 2 is only aiding the spooky feels, and the current burn-out stage means a good binge in bed (with a sick…

A month in now. More than a month. And that just seems crazy. Raging hormones, slight homesickness and just general frustration at life have led me for the second time this week to sitting on a park bench crying. But, I have the best view. The bench overlooks a gorgeous old tree whose trunk is…
*Disclaimer: This is along the lines of a rant.* I'm feeling a little regretful that I lost track of journaling my days here in Libourne, especially when it comes to a writing a new blog post, but when I'm alone, I just want peace. Or, my bed. I just want to shut my eyes and…

The excitement is rapidly building, and the things that I needed to sort are falling into place, as if they were designed to from the beginning.

At the moment this feeling is heightened by anxiety as I'm stressing over sorting things to move away to France. So far, I'm doing okay handling…
So after a packed morning at Kings, Sophie dropped a beautiful bombshell...We're having roast dinner at mine. Oh yes. I hadn't had a roast dinner in SO long so I was so excited. And it was so good, and lovely to meet Sophie's parents too, who are equally as bubbly and hilarious as Sophie. And,…
It was about a month ago that my friend Sophie and I came up with the idea of having a 'Church Hop' Sunday.Then when we actually put our plan into action, we realised it was more of a 'Church Swap' than a 'Church Hop', since we were going to my church in the morning and…
One past experience has chance my outlook on love forever. I can't really say I was in love but who knows. Love is powerful and overcomes you, and makes you blind. You don't see how someone is crippling you until after a relationship ends."Your intelligence intimidates me" is a line from a guy that I will never…
