This morning family and friends will be paying tribute to one of the dearest of gentleman, Ed. I first met Ed when I was just 14 and working in The Manor House cafe as a Saturday girl and then during the holidays. He came in every other day and munched on his favourite meals, liver… Continue reading Ed

8.5.2020 Cambodia pt.1 of many
A lot has changed since the last time I ran my fingers along the keys of my laptop and formed paragraphs consisting of the adventures I was having in South East Asia. I was caught up in feeling like I’d become introverted because of the exhaustion that comes hand in hand with unpacking, repacking, moving… Continue reading 8.5.2020 Cambodia pt.1 of many

The feeling of someone else’s beating breathing living body against mine, it heals me. It is the medicine I need but I am yet to be prescribed. It’s like a crisp first breath of fresh air filling your lungs as if you’ve not had an intake of oxygen for years.Except it’s warm.Warm like the sun… Continue reading Chemical Healing

I had an idea that damage was coming and that’s why I was… Continue reading 4.1.2020

You were like a lightning bolt conjuring up sparks in the skies but in fact those skies were my eyes. You were like a lightning bolt making my heart frantically pump whenever you appeared but through excitement not fear. You were like a lightning bolt you were there I blinked and you were gone. August 2017 This was my… Continue reading Flash

As the mini bus headed south on the twisty turny road from Pai to Chiang Mai a subtle smile creeped into the corners of my mouth. I was listening to Ride by Mako Road which reminds me of Max, so maybe that’s why. It had been 2 weeks since we’d in Myanmar and within a… Continue reading 27.12.2019

Thailand is a place I’ve wanted to visit ever since Year 5 when a group of people visited our school to talk about the Boxing Day Tsunami that killed hundreds and thousands of people. I remember sitting in the gymnasium, two rows from the front, listening closely to the god awful natural disaster that had… Continue reading 19.12.2019
