A few weeks ago I watched a video of science fiction writer Ray Bradbury giving a talk at a university. If you're a writer its definitely work a watch, but it is an hour long. One thing (amongst the many things) that Mr Bradbury said that I liked was his advice to read one short… Continue reading The Art of the Essay

Making Time
When i'm busy (which seems to be all the time at the moment lol) I find it hard to fit into my day everything I want/need to do. One of the things that ends up taking a backseat is reading.

So self care today was all about keeping warm, snuggling on the sofa with my… Continue reading Sofa Time
Sweet Almond & Macaroon
