musings of a twenty-something bilingual
It is but four days now until I begin "living" in a country that's not my own. 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. I'm already absolutely shattered from such a long, busy, yet totally freakin' awesome… Continue reading life :: impending
Okay so, I should really be concentrating on getting things sorted for France...BUT there's a current topic floating around the media that I just have to talk about. I'm entitling this post 'self' because that's exactly what it's going to be about. I was watching Loose Women a month ago now - youthful programme I know… Continue reading life :: self
*All views are my own. I'm also not a politics student nor a political expert, nor claim to ever side with a sole politician or political party.* A big part of political rhetoric, and emotion-building rhetoric of late has been the use of: "We are not ______" When Manchester was bombed on the 22nd May… Continue reading faith :: not

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… Continue reading wellbeing :: self-care
I couldn't entitle this blog post in any other way than "wonder". If you're a Christian and into worship music, notably Hillsong, and you haven't yet heard 'Wonder' Hillsong United's new album, you need to get on it. My lovely friend Sophie introduced me to it on the way home from !Audacious Church in Manchester… Continue reading faith :: wonder
After feeling cramped in the house doing university work pre-France, and my sister having to practically teach herself a GCSE Geography module over summer, we both decided to change up our study locations. So, we took the Metro from Radcliffe to Market Street, Manchester with the plan to study in Manchester Central Library.Post-delicious hot chocolate in… Continue reading life :: sister sister
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,… Continue reading faith :: church hop pt.2
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… Continue reading faith :: church hop pt.1
