Life is short. Do the Thing. Make the art. These words have been resonating inside me a lot recently. For those of you who don’t know my life has…well, taken some huge upheaval in 2023. Not only did me and my family process the grief of loosing my Step Mum, but within the same month,…

From Blood And Ash
I thought instead of a standard review, I’d share with you my feelings whilst reading, breaking my reactions down into bite size chunks as I make my way through the chapters; almost like a read along. A new format might be refreshing. I will do my best to keep my notes as spoiler free as…

Especially with Veganism being on the rise, and the ever growing ‘Veganuary’ becoming more mainstream, there are ample choices for treats and snacks…
Peace (Poetry)
It’s so peaceful here.With the gentle howl of the wind,And the lapping of the river against the bank.It’s so peaceful here,With the open air and clear blue sky.The tall reedy grass caressing my palms.The hum and tick of crickets, Under the heat of a burning sun.

In the beginning forever there.Still a mystery, an unfully explored treasure. Then routine,Then a chore,Until it isn’t there at…

Circe I’ve never read a book quite like this. The writing style of Madeline Miller is unique and set in an interesting choice of person. Little did I know when I picked this book up (purely for the beautiful cover) that I was going to feel so connected with Circe as our main character. A…
