A Wicked weekend in the West End
22 September, 2011
I know I’ve been in the big city for a while now, but I’m still in the phase of doing touristy London things – there’s just so much to see! Going to a West End show was one of the things missing from my list, so when I stumbled across some cheap tickets to Wicked […]

All women need is love…?
12 September, 2011
The recent release of the new film adaptation of Jane Eyre got me thinking about women’s literature and its status in the twenty-first century. To be honest, I assumed that the majority of bestselling authors these days are men; I’ve certainly heard of more male crime writers, for instance. A quick look at The Bookseller‘s […]
Shakespeare at the Olympics
9 September, 2011
It’s official: I’m looking forward to the Olympics. Not for the sporting events, of course. Or the chaos that will inevitably descend on London’s public transport.

Living the London life…
22 August, 2011
During my short time in London I have now experienced widespread riots and looting, a dog bite, panic at the inability to find anywhere to live, and a gas leak. So that’s civil unrest, animal attack, potential homelessness and chemical poisoning so far. I feel like I only need some sort of plague or natural […]

Maternity calls…
19 August, 2011
This will be my last blog for some time as I’ve officially started my maternity leave! I’ve had 9 months warning that this day would come, but still it’s somehow snuck up on me. I am knowingly informed that henceforth I will become obsessed with the colour and consistency of baby poo and I can […]
