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 […]

A Catch Up with July

Posted on July 31, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

July was my recovery month! While I hadn’t become spectacularly sick on my return from Africa, my stomach wasn’t coping with the continent change all too well (sensitive immune system, 0/10 would not recommend).

After a long four days, we were at long last going to reach Uhuru Peak! I had known all along that summit night was going to be the hardest part of this trip but I hadn’t really known what to expect. I knew the day would consist of four parts: trekking to Stella Point, walking […]

Playlist: Second Year

Posted on May 25, 2014November 25, 2018by Emma

As with first year’s playlist, I am totally packed (nope), ready to leave my flat (ha) and about to set off on the long journey back to London (unfortunately true yet again). It’s so strange […]

Marauding Around Macclesfield

Posted on September 29, 2013November 25, 2018by Emma

Around this time last month, I was being followed by a peacock.  Not by any means an aggressive peacock but I hadn’t really expected to see one when we arrived at Harrop Fold Farm. Cows, sheep, chickens, the odd donkey… Those we saw too but peacock doesn’t exactly spring to mind when you think of […]

Playlist: this is the place stars are born

Posted on August 28, 2013November 25, 2018by Emma

this is the place stars are born from TheTravellingQuill A little chillout playlist I’ve been hankering to make for a while now. I’ll be playing it on the long drive up the Stirling tomorrow but it’s hard to believe this summer is already over. I move in to my new flat on Saturday after seeing […]
