The Six Month Itch

January 13, 2016

It’s exactly six months to the day that I arrived back in England, and every day for those last six months I’ve wanted to leave again. I’ve wanted to grab my overnight bag and passport (which sit at the end of my bed by the way, already packed with toiletries and spare underwear) and leave. … More The Six Month Itch

Ten things to do in Lincoln (if you’re skint or on a wine-only budget)

December 1, 2015

At the beginning of last week I took off on another Daytrippin’ adventure which saw a friend and I head down to Nottingham and then over to Lincoln for some sight-seeing (pub-visiting) and some cultural (wine-drinking) exploits. Before we left I’d told a few colleagues and acquaintances about our impending trip only to be greeted … More Ten things to do in Lincoln (if you’re skint or on a wine-only budget)

Daytrippin’: Travelling soothes the soul; forever shall I wander, free and in love with the world.

When Creativity Wanes, Head For The Ocean

October 5, 2015

There may come a time in every Creative’s life when that spark of artistic talent slows down; when the creative flow wanes; when there’s nothing being produced except, well, nothingness. Becoming consumed and bogged-down with life, and monotony, and routine (yawn) sometimes voids a Creative of all inspiration – there’s no stimulus to give you … More When Creativity Wanes, Head For The Ocean

Seven Things I Neglected To Consider When Thinking About Dissing My Home Country

September 8, 2015

Last weekend I decided to take a whistle-stop tour through four counties in good old England-shire; Great Britain: my home; my country; the place I grew up. The reason? Well, seeing as the ‘big plan’ to return to Australia won’t be happening until next year I felt it only right to try and keep the … More Seven Things I Neglected To Consider When Thinking About Dissing My Home Country
