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 […]
Photography is one of my main passions. My illness is actually the reason I took it up in the first place and sadly, it has been the reason why I haven’t done much of it over the past few months. I mentioned in a previous post that the downside to a DSLR is that they […]
I started my Instagram just before Christmas last year and I have to admit to being a little addicted to it. As someone who loves photography, I think it is fascinating to see little insights into someone’s life that they have shared through this medium. There is a great community of people with chronic illness […]
Although the Griffith Observatory wasn’t originally on my list of places I wanted to visit, we were able to see it from our accommodation and curiosity got the better of me. On a gloriously sunny day, Ross and I spent a couple of hours exploring the observatory. There are many cool and fascinating exhibits inside […]
I was disappointed that I never made it to Santa Monica Beach earlier in the day. I think it was due to this that I felt as though I should try to do something else. I therefore convinced Ross we should visit the Getty Center. Though neither of us are particularly interested in art exhibitions, […]
I didn’t feel very well after my thrilling experience at Magic Mountain the previous day. However, I was aware that Ross and I only had a short time left in LA and I was determined to make the most of it. I had a list of places I still wanted to visit, one of which […]
Normally when I am ready to move on to explore somewhere different I am filled with excited. This wasn’t the case when I was leaving San Francisco. On the Friday morning we were leaving, I genuinely felt a tinge of sadness. We had managed to fit in so much but there was more I still […]
As the previous day visiting Alcatraz and exploring SF had been so full-on, I understandably woke up on the Wednesday morning feeling rather poorly. Not one to be defeated on my dream holiday, I rested up for the entire morning and then got myself up and ready to head out for some lunch. Thankfully I […]

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