My travel plans have COMPLETELY changed.
Letter 157 In the space of a year, or 40 letters, my plans have completely changed. Plans for work, for living and, most importantly, for travel. It's strangely apt that I wrote letter 117 about my travel plans after university, and letter 137 about how they've changed and how much travel I would be doing … Continue reading My travel plans have COMPLETELY changed.
Working kicks my blogs a**
Letter 150 How naïve I was to think that working a normal 9-5 job would mean I have endless amounts of time to spend on my beloved blog? Naïve is an understatement. My poor blog has retreated into the background, neglected and saddened. But here I am, making an effort again, trying to revive my … Continue reading Working kicks my blogs a**
Barbequing on the beach in balmy Edinburgh
Letter 149 What a wonderfully glorious week we’ve had in Edinburgh. Perfect sunny days and evenings spent sunbathing in the meadows and a city of happy people enjoying the summer we didn’t expect.

A Happy Week; The First of Many
Letter 148 I recently read a book that had me thinking about the little things each day that make you happy. Whether it's waking up to a sunny day, spending an hour reading in your favourite spot, going for a walk for the hell of it, putting on clean bedding, or talking to a friendly … Continue reading A Happy Week; The First of Many

Letter 138 Imagine becoming part of a film, taking on a new persona and experiencing being in a different time and place along with a warehouse full of others taking part. For one night I became a replicant bio-engineer in an incredible set up of Blade Runner, experiencing life in Utopia threatened by the Blackout. For … Continue reading LONDON’S MOST EXCLUSIVE SURREAL CINEMA EXPERIENCE
Daffodils in the snow: Spring in Edinburgh
Letter 136 I like to wake up to birds singing, I like to go running around parks and hills in the sun and I like to walk amongst daffodils and purple flowers. These are all things I associate with spring. What I don't associate with spring is walking to uni through the meadows with snow … Continue reading Daffodils in the snow: Spring in Edinburgh
Edinburgh’s transition to Spring
Letter 132 The sun in shining, the sky is bright blue, the grass is greener and the flowers are blossoming. This is spring in Edinburgh; when the meadows becomes a haven for walking, sports and barbeques, the stony buildings look a little bit grander and everyone has a distinct smile on their face. Spring is … Continue reading Edinburgh’s transition to Spring
Looking back on 2017
Letter 119 What a year 2017 has been! I would go as far as to say it has been the best year of my life, but I'm looking forward to 2018 even more. In this letter I'll recap 2017 the best way I can and look back over my favourite letters. Letter 56 The year … Continue reading Looking back on 2017
Return to the great city
Letter 92 London has a strange pull on me. Though I've never had the pleasure to live here, it's where both of my parents grew up and is still home to the majority of my large family. Coming here is coming home. It contrasts my beautiful Edinburgh spectacularly and the sudden buzz and masses of … Continue reading Return to the great city
