And as I prepare to leave a country I love, direction once again confounds me. I’ve taken more paths and chosen more roads yet the world is still spinning around me. Conflicting emotions about how to ‘travel’ are repeatedly rearing their heads; sometimes I feel the coil of life unravel, my heart aching beneath my … More The World Will Still Spin At My Feet
Yesterday I heard the awful news that a terrorist attack had occurred in Manchester. Yesterday, I read how so many innocent people had lost their lives. Yesterday, I cried watching the news; the stories, the vigils, the Facebook updates, the videos. Yesterday I phoned my friend to see if she was ok. Yesterday, I stood … More England, I’m coming home.
It’s been a month since I last wrote or published a blog post. Wow. For a budding writer with a burgeoning passion and flair for wordscraftmanship, with a wanton desire to become a published author or reporter, and a penchant for spinning a yarn, whether that be a yarn of interesting prose or an essay … More A change is as good as a rest?
Will things be any better the second time around? Is it possible for a second experience to live up to the high expectations you set, to surpass those of the first? Was it, after all, only ever supposed to be experienced once? These are the questions I find myself trying to answer while six months … More Is The Grass Really Greener?
In an effort to kickstart my blog after a lengthy hiatus, I’ve settled on the subject of road trips, and one epic drive in particular: from Perth to Exmouth and back in six little days. Following our departure from Marvel Loch, with a triste and heavy-hearted goodbye, Trine and I arrived in Perth and went … More From Perth to Exmouth; toilet breaks not included
The end of the road in Marvel Loch came on Monday 10th October 2016 and if I was to say the last eight weeks had been uneventful then I’d be lying. At times it may have felt like I’d been imprisoned, cut off from the outside world, lacking in information and sensory overload, carrying out … More And Just Like That, It Was Over
It’s the beginning of week seven here in Marvel Loch and although I’m excited slash nervous slash a tad apprehensive about heading to Melbourne in a few weeks, believe it or not I’ll also be quite sad to leave this little place I’ve come to call home. The next two weeks are sure to pass … More Day 42 In Marvel Loch: And Now The End Is Near
This week has been pleasantly surprising. Not only in terms of taking new adventures and trying new things but in terms of my drinking habits – I’ve only actually been drunk once in the last seven days. Which is progress. That’s not to say I’ve only drank alcohol on one occasion, hell no, what I … More Day 32 in Marvel Loch
Friday came and went…blah blah…a tedious morning followed by a pretty boring afternoon…although I did manage to get slightly sunburnt on my face so every cloud and all that. But Saturday…well…Saturday was just spectacular. Having never fired a gun, rode a dirt bike through crop fields and over a motorcross track, having never driven a … More It’s Day Nineteen and I Lost Four Virginities!
By golly, it’s Day 17 already and I’m sorry to say I don’t have a lot to tell you. Well, that’s not strictly true, I have loads I “could” tell you, but I think divulging my extra-curricular activities could maybe prove a little too saucy for this blog, and for fear of alienating a younger … More Day Seventeen in Marvel Loch
