I'm a city gal at heart. I've known this for years, but it was brought home to me when Tom and I went for a walk on Saturday. We get the best of both worlds where we live, because we're only half an hour away from Manchester city centre, but also just a fifteen minute… Continue reading You can take the girl out of the city but… / Writing Challenge Day 14
The doorbell terrifies me. It's not that I have a phobia of doorbells themselves, but when the flat buzzer rings, it always gives me a fright.

Yesterday, Tom and I visited Lyme Park. We don't have a car, and there aren't many National Trust properties that you can get to easily on public transport, but luckily, Lyme is only about an hour away on the train (with one or two changes) and is close to the train station at Disley. It… Continue reading A Sunny Saturday at Lyme Park / Writing Challenge Day 5

This thought struck me the other day and made me realise just how much the way we use and perceive language has changed since the birth of the social media and mobile phones. To cut a long story short, the power of emojis was brought home to me when… Continue reading The Power of Emojis / Writing Challenge Day 3
