Well, reader: the world is a strange place right now (how many times have you heard that in the past few weeks?!). With an appreciation for the little things seemingly more heightened and routine habits and hobbies valued more than ever, things to read, watch and listen to have begun to take on a new importance for me; there… Continue reading Read.

30 noughties films for anyone who needs a bit of nostalgia right now
I’ve never written anything about films because, if I do say so myself, I have truly terrible taste in them. But then I put up an Instagram post the other day about noughties films, and apparently everyone else does too! Congratulations, all of us. So, let’s face it; we’re living in strange and unsettling times. People will naturally deal with this in different… Continue reading 30 noughties films for anyone who needs a bit of nostalgia right now

Well, when I decided to start writing about the type of entertainment that can be consumed in your home as a blog series I had no idea just how relevant it would be just a few short months later. I know a lot of people have significantly more time than usual on their hands right now, but even for those for whom time is still in short supply,… Continue reading Read. Watch. Listen. | Volume 3
Read. Watch. Listen. | Volume 2
Just look at me, committing to things (things such as new blog series) left right and centre one month and then going back on my word and failing to deliver the next. I can’t blame it on the strange situation we find ourselves in – I’ve spent more time in my house than I have done in… Continue reading Read. Watch. Listen. | Volume 2
All the best places I ate vegan food in Porto
Plant based pals rejoice: beautiful Porto is really excellent for delicious, creative and varied vegan food. Saying that, I must admit that I found it marginally harder to find places to eat there than I did in Lisbon, but that was not because there was a shortage of vegan offerings; instead, every establishment owner seemed to have chosen the week of our holiday to go… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Porto

Well friends, here we are! This is the first of a new monthly series – I really enjoyed the routine and comfort of committing to a regular post when I did it last year, but felt I’d reached a natural end to the ones I was doing. And as my focus and values have shifted… Continue reading Read. Watch. Listen. | Volume 1
All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
I no longer feel much in the way of worry that I won’t be able to find good vegan food when travelling, and certainly not in European cities, where I’ve eaten some really amazing plant based stuff. Lisbon was no different, with the food turning out to be a real highlight of the trip. I… Continue reading All the best places I ate vegan food in Lisbon
Eating vegan in Prague
At the risk of boring myself by proclaiming that yet another place is ‘really good’ for vegan food, let me tell you; Prague was really good for vegan food. I actually had zero expectations about what it would be like (not in the sense that I was preparing myself for slim pickings, in the sense… Continue reading Eating vegan in Prague
Six of my favourite beauty discoveries this year
Okay, I’m not a beauty blogger. I am, however, a person who uses beauty products, and sometimes I want to share my appreciation or thoughts on them. In lieu of being able to come up with a post with a purpose from the random selection of things that have been new to me this year,… Continue reading Six of my favourite beauty discoveries this year
Five things I want to make time for in the UK this summer
I think we can safely say that summer is officially here in the UK now – as safely as we ever can, in any case, which is probably not very safe at all, but my boobs are currently sunburnt and that’s what I’m basing my confidence in the matter on. In lieu of having any… Continue reading Five things I want to make time for in the UK this summer
