The New Normal

June 29, 2020June 29, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

When this all began, there was so much talk about the strain on all of us. Everyone was talking about how we had to accept that our mental health might take a dip and a dive and that it was okay to feel anxious or down. No-one expected too much and we all filled our … Continue reading The New Normal

I just don’t feel right

April 11, 2020May 12, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

This will be my third try at a blog post. I've been trying and failing to write over the last few weeks: I had this grand idea that I'd start writing daily throughout this global pandemic. I was going to call the chapter 'A blog a day to keep the blues at bay'. But every … Continue reading I just don’t feel right

Week Thirty-Six

September 8, 2019December 29, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

Oh heyyy! So, the house move has gone surprisingly smoothly for me. Especially considering my inability to accept change, close attachment to places and things and general emotional-ness. I was super emotional when we eventually said goodbye to the flat, but in my defence, it had been one of those weeks anyway and I was … Continue reading Week Thirty-Six

Week Thirty

July 28, 2019July 27, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

The BIG THREE O! How far we've come! And I don't just mean this year. In a few weeks time, we'll be moving out of this little flat and moving into a new home. This little place we've called home for two and a half years, will soon be someone else's home and we'll be … Continue reading Week Thirty

Week Twenty-Eight

July 14, 2019December 29, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

WHERE IS THE YEAR GOING!? I knew 2019 was going to be a big'un. I never could have prepared myself for how much of an uphill climb the first half of it would be. I said there was to be no stressing when my birthday party came around and I don't want any of the … Continue reading Week Twenty-Eight

Week Zero

December 29, 2018March 2, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

I'm curled up on the sofa at my parents' and I've spent the whole day in my PJs. The Christmas tree is twinkling and the living room is super cosy. It's odd isn't it? This week between Christmas and New Year. No-one knows which day of the week it is. Our New Year's resolutions don't … Continue reading Week Zero

Putting the world to WRITEs

June 30, 2018April 14, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

This blog had an about page when I first set it up. Eventually I deleted it, because I thought people would be best placed to find out about me, and about the blog, by just reading it. In my about page I described the blog as a series of colloquial, honest diary entries. I guess … Continue reading Putting the world to WRITEs

Another year older

May 30, 2018October 24, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ 2 Comments

I'M FEELIN' 24. And 'what does 24 feel like?' you might ask. Well, I guess I actually do feel a little older. If I really think about it, I realise that even in the last week or so I've done many things a younger me would have been too scared to do. Silly things like … Continue reading Another year older

Yoga, Tagine, Prosecco and a Shark Tale

February 4, 2018October 24, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

I made it to my first yoga class! And I've been again since and I'm already looking forward to going again this week. I've found me a truly wonderful class. I've been to a few yoga classes before and found that they're all different. I think it is worth taking the time to find a … Continue reading Yoga, Tagine, Prosecco and a Shark Tale

Kind of Blue

January 19, 2018October 24, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

I'm in for a quiet Friday tonight and I'm so relieved. I'm curled up all snug under a blanket. I've a glass of red wine on the go which is warming me from the inside out. I've candles lit and music playing and Dave's said the T word. The T word being takeaway. There's no … Continue reading Kind of Blue

  • Birthday Butterflies
I’m 28 tomorrow. I’d fully intended to draft an inspiring and upbeat birthday post to publish in celebration. I LOVE my birthday and I couldn’t wait to write about how far I’ve come since I was 18 and about my hopes and dreams for the years ahead. Five Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Kittens. Five Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Kittens. Five Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Kittens. Five Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Kittens. Five Things I Wish I'd Known Before Getting Kittens. A wise person recently told me that I need to learn to love and embrace my butterflies. To feel the butterflies and decide to gratefully accept the reminder that I'm feeling anxious and gently look after myself, instead of trying to bat them away at the first sign of trouble. And I'm getting there. Hi. I’m Bronwen.
