It's always been a goal of mine to create a cosy and beautifully-curated collection of content, particularly during the autumn months. I have so many small snippets of my life and countless photographs that never make it to my website or social media, and I'm excited to finally have a dedicated space to share more of my thoughts with anyone who cares to listen.

Last Sunday I ventured out to forage for wild blackberries, keeping an eye out for those little deep-purple jewels gleaming in the bushes. I managed to gather quite a haul, and immediately set about making jars of fresh jam in order to preserve and store my harvest. As I surveyed my handiwork I was struck by inspiration - surely the tart sweetness and sharp tang of blackberries would lend themselves nicely to a more savoury recipe?

As the summer draws to a close, the squirrels are out in full force.
I've been glued to my window lately, watching them busily forage for nuts as they prepare to hibernate throughout the winter. I can't help but relate to them as I survey my own kitchen, loaded with seasonal fruits and vegetables in anticipation of a potential enforced hibernation.

I'm writing this snuggled under a cosy blanket with a pumpkin candle burning next to me. Outside, the rain pours down in sheets and the wind is blowing the first leaves from the trees.

Elliott asked me to marry him!
After five years together, we are officially an engaged couple. Words can't describe how happy I am!
We’re a week into our trip around Japan, and I’m having the most wonderful time. We’ve played futuristic arcade games, created our own noodles at the Cup Noodle Museum, explored the Tsukiji Fish Market... I could go on. Even after so many trips to Tokyo, there are still countless things to experience in this amazing city.
With Halloween just around the corner, there’s no better time to indulge in a few scary stories.
If you know me, you’ll know that I’m a little obsessed with anything spooky. I love wandering through graveyards, visiting supposedly haunted places and watching way too many true crime documentaries.
If it creeps me out, I can’t get enough of it!
Autumn is the perfect time of year to roll up your sleeves and spend a cosy afternoon baking. There’s nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through your home, and it’s the perfect accompaniment to all those hearty stews and soups that I crave throughout October.
