Here we are again: December 31st. Today’s the day I would usually publish a meme for the year as a kind of end-of-year exorcism. This year? No, thanks. I do not want to talk about whether I’m happier or sadder or fatter or thinner. This year has rocked me and …
I’ve been struggling with writing this post, because plainly put, most things are more of a struggle than usual right now. That’s why, during these crazy times, I recommend walking to stay sane. Nothing like this has happened before in my lifetime. This is a global pandemic. The world has …
Ho, ho, groan: It’s that weird time of year again, that black hole between Christmas and New Year when it’s mandatory to eat and drink all of the things and generally loll around in the lounge like a sea lion. If, like me, you can no longer see your feet …
Fall (or Autumn to my British friends) is my favourite time of year in America. The colours on the trees here are spectacular – reds and oranges and golds – brighter and more vibrant than any I’ve seen in England. But then, I’ve yet to see a proper horse chestnut …

Since 2010, I’ve been writing about London. And since 2009, I’ve been living in London – firstly North of the river in Tufnell Park, then South in Wimbledon, then finally West in Ealing (sorry, East). That’s almost a decade of London living. So it really did feel like the end …
It’s that time of year again: on comes my blogging hat and out comes my inner-spewing AKA my annual end-of-year review. I really relish this Twixmas period: a time for over-indulgence, eating, sequins, reflection, drinking, family, drinking some more, and generally getting my life in order. And while everyone said …
I’ve been wanting to get more into cycling recently. I’ve been talking for ages about just hopping on a Boris Bike (AKA Santander Cycles; it’ll never stick) and get exploring some of London’s best cycling routes. That’s because I’m a glutten for punishment. Cycling hurts. I don’t have the most …
