Alice could see, as well as if she were looking over their shoulders, that all the jurors were writing down ‘stupid things!’ on their slates, and she could even make out that one of them didn’t know how to spell ‘stupid,’ and that he had to ask his neighbour to tell him. ‘A nice muddle […]
Alice did not at all like the tone of this remark, and thought it would be as well to introduce some other subject of conversation. While she was trying to fix on one, the cook took the cauldron of soup off the fire, and at once set to work throwing everything within her reach at […]
‘Come, my head’s free at last!’ said Alice in a tone of delight, which changed into alarm in another moment, when she found that her shoulders were nowhere to be found: all she could see, when she looked down, was an immense length of neck, which seemed to rise like a stalk out of a […]
What a whirlwind week I have just had! I spent the last 8 days in Sicily; a trip that I have had to keep secret from family for months. To explain why we need to go back to the very beginning.
One of the biggest difficulties that we face living with chronic illness is that our health can be unpredictable. Though I’ve seen better days and improvements with my health this year, I’ve also gone through long periods of feeling exhausted, flu-like and just downright awful. And, at times, it has really gotten me down. It […]
Travelling is something that I personally enjoy. Most recently I have visited Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Barbados. It has to be said that none of these trips were easy. Travelling with fibromyalgia is difficult. Having a variable health condition creates a host of challenges when you are away from home. Travelling is something I am determined […]
Back in January I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and happened to see that Ryanair (a budget airline) had a sale on. Knowing that some hard things were coming up in my life– which I intend to write about when I am ready to– I decided I wanted something to look forward to. I […]
Today I am doing something a little bit different and reaching out to you and asking you to complete my first ever reader survey. It’s in my nature to always strive to do the best that I possibly can with all that I do and blogging is no exception. I love writing this blog and […]
I recently spent the weekend in Amsterdam celebrating a friend’s 30th birthday. It was such a fun weekend and I was so pleased that I was able to go. A citybreak was a completely different ballgame to the relaxing holiday I had in Barbados and I did wonder about how I would cope given my […]
You may recall a while back that I posted about booking a trip to Barbados. It came round really quickly and I jetted off for some time in the sun a couple of weeks ago, along with my husband and two friends. We decided to go on a whim, after spotting a deal on Holiday […]
If you missed Part 1, you can view it here. Today I am sharing more photographs from this past weekend, when I explored an abandoned fever hospital. I thought it might also be interesting to share how I approached photographing these buildings. If you have no photographic knowledge, this probably won’t make a whole lot […]
If you follow me on Pinterest, you might have an inkling that I love photographs of abandoned buildings– seeing as I have a whole board dedicated to the subject on there. It is something I really like and the creepier the place, the better. There’s just something really fascinating about the forgotten, derelict places of […]
Last month I took a little trip to the west coast of Scotland. It was a staycation that we took to break away from the day-to-day monotony that comes with recovering from chronic illness. It was something positive to look forward to and it turned out to be just what I needed as it helped […]
On a dull and dreary day during my recent trip to the west coast of Scotland, I visited Inveraray Castle. As the name suggests, Inveraray Castle is located in the town of Inveraray on the shore of Loch Fyne. If there are any Downton Abbey fans reading this, you might recognise this as the fictional […]

Random fact: before opening February Stars Art, I blogged about living well with chronic illness. Those posts are still available to read.
