making life a little sweeter
A few hours after I scheduled my last post, we were told that my Grandpops Jeff probably weren't going to make it through the night. As the hours went on, things drastically changed and he passed away in the early hours of the third of March. This happened eight weeks to the day from my… Continue reading Grief 2.0
As I write this, we're two months into 2023 and I'm so done with this year. What started as a fairly promising year quickly descended into grief and sadness as my paternal grandfather Stan passed away. Within a day of his funeral, my maternal grandfather Jeff was blue-lighted to hospital and then later transferred to… Continue reading Photo Diary: 2023 so far
Grief is a complex thing. People talk about the stages of grief and the different types of it but I like to think of it in more simple terms; it affects us all in completely different ways and just bloody sucks. In many ways, I'm familiar with grief. It's been a companion of mine since… Continue reading Grief
This past Christmas season was hectic in so many ways for me but though it all, I had some really great moments. I always take random photos here and there. Some of them make it to my insta while others just get lost in my camera roll. I wanted to share some here as a… Continue reading Christmastide ’22
As October began, we had a long-awaited date night in the diary which we were both so excited for; Life at Rochester Cathedral. An exhibition put on by the artist collective Luxmuralis, the cathedral was transformed into a showcase of innovative art. Through visuals and sound they immerse their audiences into their work. In this… Continue reading Life at Rochester Cathedral
Whilst away in September, we took a day trip down to York. Like Whitby, I have been here before however once again I was in a wheelchair and unable to really enjoy the shops and experience everything fully. A lot of York is similar to Canterbury; so much is historic so it's not the most… Continue reading Photo Diary: York
Back in October, we visited The Making of Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studio Tour yet again but this time it was slightly different. I wanted to go for my birthday; to have butterbeer ice cream and see the floating pumpkins in the Great Hall for Halloween. We've been quite a few times before and for… Continue reading Warner Bros. Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter – Vol. I
As I have mentioned in previous posts, we went camping in June the week of the Platty Jubes. We've been wanting to go camping again for some time and really wanted to explore some new places, rather than keep returning to Wales (even though we do love it). We stayed at Knotlow Farm Campsite which… Continue reading Photo Diary: Camping in the Peak District
The year of 26 has been a rocky road for me. Leading up to my 26th birthday I felt this overwhelming pressure to do something big, become an adult in some grand way -probably largely due to the fact my mom had me when she was 26. The year of 26 did change me in… Continue reading The Year of 26
Probably one, if not the busiest day of our trip to Wales; we set off really early for an adventure. I mean first of all I should say I woke up about 4am and couldn't get back to sleep. I had my copy of The Beautiful Ones nearby (review here) and had only 10 chapters… Continue reading Wales: Waterfalls, a Castle & a Railroad
