If you have any advice to share please do so down below as different methods work for different people. Personally I like to print out reading or use a physical book. For some people physically […]

    I love autumn, its the perfect time to cosy up and read with hot chocolate in hand and maybe a cinnamon swirl to top it off! The changing of the leaves, the warm clothes and the fact that christmas is just around the corner are just some of the reasons why I love autumn. However […]

    As a Kentish girl, born and raised, I spent my summers at the beach at Herne Bay or in little coffee shops to dip out of the sun while doing a spot of shopping in Canterbury. The summers were long awaited but the winters weren’t all that harsh. The leaves changed and welcomed the cool […]

    Last Saturday (17th September) the Vintage Weigh & Pay came to town; naturally I jumped at the opportunity to snag some vintage bargains at Bonar Hall. The event was open to whole public, not just students, and signs were posted all over Dundee advertising the abundance of bargains available. Items are priced at £15 for […]

  • Charting New Waters – Gallery Exhibition

The exhibition has a collection of model ships, paintings and even a pair of shoes. It celebrates Dundee’s […]
