Playing Tourist in London

Posted on August 29, 2019January 3, 2020by Emma

I’m 25! And that means if I want to pretend to be a tourist in my hometown, I will! Okay so credit where it’s due: I first spied this route on Secret London. I had it filed away for a not-so-rainy day and my birthday being at the end of August seemed like the perfect […]

Winter

Posted on December 31, 2015November 25, 2018by Emma

Winter this year has been rather unpredictable. There were murmurs of the worst snows in decades during autumn which actually turned out to be a whole siege of rainstorms. While Stirling wasn’t too badly affected compared to other areas of the UK, we did have some floods in town and winds that got dangerously high […]

Surprise!

Posted on April 24, 2015November 25, 2018by Emma

My brother is officially 18! I flew down to London to surprise him for his birthday. Unbeknownst to him, my mum and I had been concocting a plan since early March to get me down from Stirling. I was on the fence about it because it was so close to the exam period, but once […]

The Old Vic: The Crucible

Posted on August 23, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

I feel it’s sort of pointless having a blog when I end up so speechless I can hardly write, but I’m going to do my best.  I don’t profess to be any kind of aficionado of the theatre. I didn’t study Drama past the age of 13 and was never any good at it when […]

Secret Cinema: Back to the Future

Posted on August 17, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

On Sunday night, I was sent back… to the future! It’s a rarity I end up making a post so sparse on the photo front but on such an occasion like a Secret Cinema event, I have to make an exception to keep the secret a secret!  Secret Cinema is a company that specialises in […]

Ólafur Arnalds at Roundhouse

Posted on August 15, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

My unending love affair with Iceland continues! Ólafur Arnalds in Camden may not be Reykjavík or Seljalandsfoss, but it’s the closest I’ve managed to get to the island this year! I dragged my poor dear friend Kiran with me this time, instead of my mum. You may remember I saw Ólafur last year. I discovered this […]
