A WEE TRIP TO THE ISLE OF MULL Earlier this month we headed up to Scotland to take in some beautiful scenery and catch up with some friends on the Isle of Mull. The unbelievable views started on the train journey from Glasgow to Oban on the West Highland line, known as one of Britain's…
Indie Mags: Oh Comely Magazine issue 30
Did you know that Oh Comely magazine was the very first independent magazine I started reading? Back in 2010 when I was at uni in Brighton I'd gotten bored of reading traditional women's magazines and just by chance spotted a copy of Oh Comely magazine, hidden at the back of the shelf in the WHSmith in…
Frightened Rabbit at St John-at-Hackney
Update, Summer 2018: I came across this post while I was tidying up a few odds and ends on old posts. After the tragic loss of Scott Hutchison, lead singer of Frightened Rabbit, earlier this year, it only felt right to include a link to donate to the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). We miss…
March Favourites
March seemed so long when we were in it, so I can't believe we're already 10 days into April! I spent wonderful weekends in Bath and Oxford with friends and a week skiing in the French Alps with my family. My London-based recommendations are a little thin on the ground this month, but I still…
Indie Mags: Intern Magazine
I recently discovered Intern Magazine, an independent magazine dedicated to debating intern experiences and ethics around internships.
February Favourites
It's March and Spring is in the air! I want to share what I got up to in February with you all. Despite the winter weather it was lovely to try out a few new things... VISIT > Petersham Nurseries Who doesn't have Petersham Nurseries on their places to visit after seeing it crop up…
Indie Mags: In Clover
In Clover is a beautiful and inspiring adventure magazine with a focus on slow living and offline escapes. I picked up a copy of volume two at 'Magazines For Good', a STACK magazines event to raise money for refugees, at the end of last year, and over the dark winter months it's been the perfect magazine…
Indie Mags: The Lifted Brow
Welcome back to my 'Indie Mags' series! I've got a big pile of magazines I've been reading over Christmas and January that I can't wait to share with you. First up, is The Lifted Brow, a quarterly Australian magazine of literature, design and visual art. It's also the first magazine sent to me through my STACK…
Marrakech and an engagement
I realised, looking through my 2015 posts, that I'd said I was off on holiday to Morocco, but I hadn't yet shared any details about how the trip was - what a tease! You might have guessed from the title of this post that something rather magical did happen while I was away - my boyfriend…
Lights On: Lumiere London
Last week there was a free outdoor light festival on across central London called Lumiere. I popped over to Oxford Street last Saturday, taking advantage of living so close by. I've lived in London since April but it still feels strange to me, perhaps because I travel out of London for work, not to need a 'tourist day…
