I prefer the term childlike to childish, it had a more mature ring to it. To me I'm me. Determined, understanding with a little bit of a temper. I'm married and have children. I also have a brother and two sisters, I work in a school with various kids who need a little extra help, one way or another. And to all those people I imagine that I'm someone slightly different, depending on their needs. Once you read me I will become, to you, who you need me to be.

Feeling like I should write. in Sparkly Springtime (April onwards) 2017

STC in Sparkly Springtime (April onwards) 2017

Warpaint in Oxford. in Sparkly, frosty wintertime 2016 (started a little late!)
We went to a gig, it was only good because it’s such an exceptional band and I had my crush with me. I’ve never liked the venue; it’s long and thin with the stage at the end so it’s hard to see m...
Blimey, there were two hours and forty two minutes of highlights to remember! Where do I start? Maybe I should go further back in time to the morning. I woke up in an amazingly comfy Premier Inn...
