Week Fifty-Two

December 28, 2019December 28, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

As after most Christmases, the arm of the chair that I am sat in is piled high with books: The new 2020 diary I got for Christmas, Fearne Cotton's 'Calm', Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch (I'm on chapter 8 and loving every second), and a very thick pad titled '642 things to write about' … Continue reading Week Fifty-Two

Week Fifteen

April 14, 2019June 13, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

I'm wearing my sunny day t-shirt (under my biggest fluffy jumper because it's chilly despite the sunshine) with my oldest, comfiest jeans. I'm munching on Bitsa Wispa in an attempt to satisfy the sweet tooth I've woken up with. I'm smiling because sunny Sundays are my favourite thing and I've already had three cups of … Continue reading Week Fifteen

Week Nine

March 3, 2019December 9, 2021 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

Monday morning I rolled over to grab the tv remote, turned on the news and snoozed for ten minutes. I rolled out of bed and into the shower. I didn't have time for a cuppa (because of the snooze - so worth it on a Monday morning) and I headed straight to the station once … Continue reading Week Nine

Week Four

January 27, 2019October 31, 2019 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

Week four of 2019 began, for all of us, with Blue Monday. On Blue Monday, I felt surprisingly yellow. I spent the tube journey smiling to myself like a fool. I was determined not to let the whole 'Blue Monday' label convince me that it was going to be a difficult day. After all, I did … Continue reading Week Four

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

To infinity and beyond

February 25, 2018August 12, 2021 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

The highlight of this week has to have been my afternoon spent in London's Sky Garden. I highly recommend a visit. It's free of charge for starters! They advise that you book in advance to skip the queues, that's all. London looks so beautiful from up there. It doesn't take much to bring out the cheese … Continue reading To infinity and beyond

Proud

February 7, 2018October 24, 2020 ~ bronwensamantha ~ Leave a comment

Another post already!? Can you believe it? I remember when I went through a phase of wishing and hoping and dreaming of my blog becoming a massive hit and me being given my own column in a hugely famous magazine. I went and read all these posts from other bloggers about how to gain a … Continue reading Proud

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.
