Finding peace in the kitchen

Pals, I've been stuck in a rut. With no routine and a fairly stressful deadline not that far away, I've found my mental health receding. Despite the fact I'm on course for a decent mark in my degree and almost at a point where I (hopefully) never have to study ever again - hallelujah! -… Continue reading Finding peace in the kitchen

Masters / Making a mini magazine

Hey pals, it's been a while. I wish I had more of an excuse for my absence, but essentially, my MA is ruling my life and the majority of my free time has either been spent binging Peaky Blinders or tackling my Goodreads 2019 challenge. Add to that list a heck ton of sleep, and… Continue reading Masters / Making a mini magazine

Year Abroad / Hasta luego, España

I realise most people will be reading this post thinking 'wait, didn't you get home ages ago?!' Technically yes: I got home almost two weeks ago. I guess I've just been putting off writing this post for a while. I originally planned to write it while still in Spain and post it as my final… Continue reading Year Abroad / Hasta luego, España

For me, this trip was definitely something to look forward to, mainly as after 8 months living in Spain, I was finally going to the beach! I know,… Continue reading Year Abroad / Sunshine, sea and sand

Year Abroad / Reunions and new places

So in the space of a week or so, I was able to reunite with two of my favourite people. Firstly, a long bank holiday weekend away in Milan to visit my best friend Harriet, before a visit from the wonderful Verity - she travelled 7 hours by car to get to Zaragoza! That's what… Continue reading Year Abroad / Reunions and new places

2017 / March and April Round Up

If you've read my latest year abroad post, you'll know that the last couple of months have been really busy what with university and visits and Easter. Due to this, I had no time for last month's roundup, but here's a double whammy of March and April for you. Music There has been so much… Continue reading 2017 / March and April Round Up

Year Abroad / An overdue update

Hola chiquitos! Since my last post a lot of things have happened. Jack visited Zaragoza, I went home for Easter, spent a considerable amount of time at the doctors' and in airports, and last week I returned to Spain for my final ten weeks here. It's amazing how quickly the last (almost) 8 months have passed… Continue reading Year Abroad / An overdue update
