Francis Bacon | Oxford | 03.11.14 |
I first studied Francis bacon at depth for my A levels and was mesmerized by the graphic and repulsive beauty of his work and the idea that we can be repulsed by or own matter of flesh. His work has inspired my threads of my own work, in composition and subject matter.

Cote Brasserie | Old Amersham | 04.09.15 |
It is rather rare that I 'go for lunch' as many people seem to, but seeing as for the next six months I am my mother's only daughter at home, she has taken it upon herself to treat me every so often and this meal at Cote was no exception. Oh what it would be to be able to dine out for every meal with such gorgeous French food.

Me & Olivia at Elterwater Lake | Cumbria | 26.10.2015 |
The Lake District truly is my most favourite place in the country to spend the October half term week and this photo shows just how much I love it, and in turn, how much Olivia loved her first visit too.

Dairy Milk buttons | Oxford | 27.09.2015 |
Forget the fancy pants brands of Lindt and Green & Blacks, there is nothing I love more than Cadbury's chocolate and in particular their giant buttons.

Where She Went | Gayle Forman | Amersham | 30.12.2015
I am ashamed to say that I rarely read but the truth is I always find something better to do, normally to watch a film which in hindsight is the far lazier option. I do however always read at Christmas tucked up in front of the fire, and last year was no exception.
This book, 'Where she went', is the sequel to the more known 'If I stay' which was made into a feature film starring Chloe Grace Moretz. The book follows on from the first novel in the aftermath of a traumatic family car crash to which only the oldest daughter survived. This sequel focuses on the life she leads without her family and captures my imagination in the most simple way, with a strong desire to reach the end and find out if she can be happy. What more could a girl want for herself or for a character she has felt many a pang of the heart for.
Much recommended for an easy yet fulfilling read.

Mylo | Amersham | 01.09.2015
Isn't he perfect! My boy Mylo was given to me for my 18th birthday as a kitten and he is now 4 years old but as still as much of a big baby as he was when I first got him.

Antique silver locket | Amersham | 25.01.2015
This gem will indeed stay firmly by my side forever more after being given to me by my best friend Olivia for my 21st birthday. Knowing I love a bit of history and antiques, she found this gorgeous silver locket from the first world war and I couldn't love the sentiment more.
