Edinburgh! I'm visiting Edinburgh just to have a relaxed week away from London, and to hopefully conquer my fear of flying!
Writing Update #17: March On!
I wrote my last update days in advance and scheduled it well in advance so I could just get on with writing, and write I did! March was very productive for me, which was so exciting! I finished Vita in March. I wasn't necessarily very happy with it at first, it was definitely a bare-bones …
Review: The Grinning Man at Trafalgar Studios, London
I had heard about The Grinning Man, but it wasn't until I saw a YouTube video praising the musical that I decided to see it. Amy Lovatt, the YouTuber in question, spoke about it so passionately that I thought 'why not give it a shot?.' The Grinning Man was fantastic. I went in with no …

Review: The Importance of Being Earnest at the Churchill Theatre, Bromley
On 3rd April, I was lucky enough to go and see The Importance of Being Earnest at the Churchill Theatre in Bromley. The production was put on by the Original Theatre Company, and starred Gwen Taylor, Peter Sandys-Clarke and Susan Penhaligon. I had never seen one of Oscar Wilde's plays, and although I had heard …

Twisting Through History in Rochester
The day was grey and cloudy but I was determined to venture out to explore Rochester. Only about 45 minutes away from where I live, Rochester is a small city with a lot of personality, and probably most known for inspiring Charles Dickens and being featured in many of his works. My first stop was …
Writing Update #16: A Script Full Of Problems
Vita is so difficult to write! I managed to start writing Vita after dreaming up a somewhat okay opening, and actually writing it was going really well! That was until I started typing it up, and realised that the script is incredibly rushed. Even worse, I somehow forgot to write the entire first act! After …

A Look Back In Time
I don't usually go into central Croydon a lot. As Westfield is allegedly coming, there's not really a lot in Croydon for shopping, so I only really go into Croydon to visit the Boxpark or to go to the cinema. But not this day! I had found out about the Museum of Croydon and decided …
The Most Oxford-ish Day Ever
On the 17th March, I travelled up to Oxford on the trusty Oxford Tube to visit my sister. I would only have about 24 hours to explore the city and we had lots to do. After arriving in Headington, having lunch and doing a little shopping, we headed towards the city centre. Our first stop …
What I’ve Been Reading Lately- March 2018
March didn't necessarily start as a month if reading, but was definitely a month of achievement! Rejected Princesses: Tales of History's Boldest Heroines, Hellions and Heretics by Jason Porath I loved this book. The book functions as almost a list of women who will never have an animated movie made about them, and is filled …

Musings on Confidence and Travel
I'm never been particularly confident. I wonder sometimes why I then became so drawn to travel. As a child, I thought international travel was for confident people, and yet now, as a not confident introvert all I want to do is roam. I'm planning another trip soon. I won't technically be alone, but I will …
