In my last blog post, I wrote about how lockdown affected me personally, and the implications the pandemic had not just on my job but also others in the UK. It could’ve been very easy for me to get myself into a bad-mood-rut, mope about all day and consume my body weight in biscuits. But […]
Okay, so it’s not really ‘lockdown’ anymore. Gone are the days of watching back-to-back Tiger King on Netflix, baking banana bread, and going for our 1 permittable form of exercise per day.

Okay, so it’s been a few weeks (ahem-months) since I last posted one of my weekly round-ups. If you are new around here (hi) then I’ll briefly explain what my weekly round-up involves.
Last week, my friend and I visited Edinburgh for a few nights. I couldn’t get over how beautiful the place is, so I thought I’d share some photos here on my blog! Also, if you’re thinking of visiting the city, I’ll run through the things we did and the costs involved. Day 1 We flew […]
