Stories of life and people
When I first saw Tess I saw this edgy, trendy, cool chick. You know the kind, the ones that you can feel a bit intimidated by. She had a cool social media presence, worked in some trendy job in Brighton and had the best notebook for this running writing workshop we were at. And wore... Continue Reading →
I met R in Queenstown when I was travelling in New Zealand in 2014. He was staying at the same hostel and I was about to head to bed but a friend persuaded me to stay up for a few minutes longer and after ten minutes of chat, I found myself crashing on his sofa two months... Continue Reading →
Life drawing classes can either be taught classes (perhaps at an art school, or by an artist) or groups of artists who just want to come together to practise their drawing.

Sometimes, when I'm on a flight, I'm reminded of a chick lit book I read once. It was the some standard story of a single woman in her 20's/30's, travelling somewhere and she gets sat next to a hot (also single) guy on the plane. They hit it off, but don't exchange details. He turns... Continue Reading →
