Love Yourself

14th February 2019

The most important thing on Valentine’s Day is to love yourself. Yes, like it or not, it’s Valentine’s Day. I personally love Valentine’s when I’m single or in a relationship, it is a time to treat yourself to some love, and it’s also a strong reminder to appreciate the people you love. Yes, we shouldn’t […]

Killing Eve Review

1st October 2018

I’ve just finished the last episode of the first series of BBC’s Killing Eve and I LOVED it. Despite you know it being a tad disturbing, it is sensational. So many people had recommended the show to me and after I saw Phoebe Waller Bridge produced it I was sold, as I thought Fleabag was […]

29th June 2018

It has become a trend in recent years to remake films that are heavily-dominated with male actors, to include more female characters, but should women replace men in film?

22nd June 2018

But there were also some absolute […]

My Favourite Christmas Films

19th December 2017

Tis the season to be jolly and the opportunity to re-watch your favourite Christmas films. It’s the time of year when it’s acceptable to be a Hobbit, stay in, snuggle up in an armchair and eat as many meals as you can justify with mince pies in between. One of the best parts of the […]

Howards End

3rd December 2017

I knew absolutely nothing about Howards End before the BBC mini-series began, and in all honesty I only watched it for Hayley Atwell and Matthew MacFayden. They are two of my favourite actors, and they have played some of my favourite characters including Peggy Carter and Mr Darcy. But it is the most wonderful story, […]

The Giggling Squid, Bury St Edmunds

15th September 2017

On Wednesday, Becca and I went to Bury St Edmunds and had lunch at the Giggling Squid. I got the train to see B in between her holidays; she had just got back from tuk-tuking from Barcelona to Madrid, and now she is off to Nice on Saturday. I’m one jealous friend. After having a […]
