With the clocks going back last week and the cold, dark evenings drawing in it could be tempting to bed in for the winter months and let your running routine lapse. While I have been struggling to get back into training post-honeymoon, with a hectic social schedule combined with a case of the cold weather [...]
I realise that it has been quite a while since my last post, for which I have the (fairly reasonable?) excuse of a wedding and honeymoon. Twelve months almost to the day that we got engaged, R and I tied the knot in Tuscany last month, surrounded by our closest friends and family, on what [...]
This week I've been taking the time to really appreciate the city I live in: this post is an ode to London.
As a vegan I love having the opportunity to eat at veggie restaurants. It's so nice to not have to make a fuss when choosing a meal: not having to ask for one thing or another to be removed or added to a generic salad, or being faced by yet another stuffed pepper. It's also [...]
I often find myself naively drawn in by articles promising the secret of an infinitely better life: 5 steps to total mindfulness, 3 intense fat burning workouts, 10 steps to the perfect relationship, that sort of thing.

I've always been a pretty self-aware and reflective person (sometimes to a fault), but this process really got me thinking not only about how I work now, [...]
If you are very British and prone to squirm at the mention of bodily functions, this post is probably not for you. And I'll be honest, this is not something I've thought about talking so candidly about previously. Or at least that was the case until I started listening to the Ben Greenfield's podcast. If [...]
I realise that I haven't written for a while; a combination of mood, work and wedmin, sunshine and social engagements have made me reluctant to sit in front of a screen when not absolutely necessary of late. I've even been eschewing my phone in favour of books and magazines in a bid to escape the [...]
It's been a funny old week in the UK, and by 'funny old' what I actually mean is abjectly disastrous.
