Amsterdam

Last week I went to Amsterdam! It is a city I have wanted to visit for a while now and, all the stereotypes aside, it has a lovely chilled atmosphere with great sights to see.

Dublin

Dublin is one of those places I have always wanted to go but has never been particularly high on the list - until I went for a week in early June.

The Ivy

Because who doesn't love going out to dinner? My three favourite Ivy restaurants...

Sky Garden

I have been wanting to go to 20 Fenchurch Street's infamous Sky Garden for months now so I was SO pleased to finally visit! You have to get tickets three weeks in advance but the fact the attraction is free makes the wait worthwhile (although drinks are rather pricey but that can be excused).

Brighton

I visited Brighton for the first time just over a month ago and thought I would record our trip on my blog (as I forgot it even existed for a while...).

Bruges

A few weeks ago my family and I went on a short cruise to Bruges, Belgium. It is safe to say the pretty city did not disappoint - I only wish I got to spend more time there.

First Year of University

If there is anything I've realised since completing my first year at university, it is that adults are as lost and as confused about the world as I am. Legally I am considered an adult - especially now that I have and actually use a Tesco Clubcard, marvellous - but in my mind I am still simply a young person attempting to work out what it is I want to accomplish in life.

The Raven

'The Raven' by Edgar Allan Poe is by far one of my favourite poems. I'm pretty sure I described it as having 'unearthly qualities' in my UCAS personal statement last year and that is definitely true. I've never reviewed a poem on my blog before nor am I sure whether it can be classed as a book, but here's to broadening horizons!
