It’s St. Patrick’s Day! Now, ok, I have a very small amount of Irish in me – miniscule probably – I’ve got far more Scottish in me thanks to my dad and a mix of northern European from a long way back thanks to my mum doing one of those ancestry tests. … More Poem of the Week: Green
I’m a big fan of middle-grade / age 9-12 fiction. I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s my fan of gripping adventures, maybe it’s my love of Harry Potter and Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights that fit into this genre, as well as the Percy Jackson series. … More Book Review: Cogheart
The Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro took me an age to get through. I started it early last year, ended up reading 60-odd pages, and then put it down until about a week ago. … More Book Review: The Buried Giant

I feel like there are many of us in the same boat for whatever reason. … More Poem of the Week: The Waiting Game
It’s that time again! I’ve ended up choosing four books again, but this time in a blue colour scheme. It didn’t start out that way, but I realised I picked three books the same colour, and the fourth just had to stay that way too. … More Book Recommendations: March 2021
It’s almost spring! I’ve definitely been feeling the vibes, thanks to the warmth of the sun the last few days. All the flowers have been starting to appear over the last few weeks, and I’ve noticed the appearances of buds on our trees in the garden. It truly feels like everything’s just burgeoning. Waking up anew to a brand new day. … More Bullet Journal 2021: March Theme
