Today I Am In…

Edinburgh! I'm in Edinburgh for a week to explore the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. I've never been north of Doncaster before, let alone to Scotland so I'm really excited! I can't believe I haven't done this before! I'm also going by train so I can see everything out the windows, and have a train picnic (which …

What I Thought Of London Film and Comic Con

I started going to comic cons when I went to university. I joined the comic book society and our main social of the year would be to go to MCM Expo in London. I've been to MCM Expo multiple times now and I enjoy it. I think it's a good event and I believe it's …

Rose Tea in a Haunted Tearoom

'I will always associate Canterbury with drinking rose tea in haunted tearooms', I thought to myself on the train home.

Review: Aladdin at the Prince Edward Theatre in London

Aladdin was the only musical I was determined to see this year and I finally managed to! It was brilliant, and was easily the best night out I've had in ages. The plot is slightly different than the film; Aladdin is a young man who steals for a living along with his friends Babkak, Omar …

Writing Update #11: Research Trips?

So I know I say this every time, but every time I edit the Untitled Parisian Project it makes me what to go to Paris. I think this is a strong point for the script, as it shows it obviously has a feel of the place, and this gets stronger with every edit. In fact, …

Why I’m Independently Learning A Language

When I moved back home I decided to take up a new hobby in learning a language. Why? Initially there were multiple reasons. I've always wanted to be at least partly fluent in another language, I wanted to take up an academic hobby as I was thinking of doing a Masters in a few years, …

Creepy Travels – Bruges

Bruges is such a beautiful, fairytale like town that it's hard to find anything creepy about it! I really struggled with this one, but here is a (small) list of spooky places in Bruges. The Torture Museum This is the most 'obvious' attraction and initially, the only one I could think of! This small museum …
