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 […]
Dear Dundee, You’re an onion. A big, fat onion with one hundred layers. And sometimes you make me cry, but I still like you. I judged you from the moment I met you. Like hard core totally unfair Simon Cowell type judgment. Earlier that day, your distant neighbor, Edinburgh, welcomed me down from […]
Today I had to go on “official law student business” to the University of St Andrew’s Law Fair. This is a great opportunity for #UoD students studying on the English law or Dual law programme to meet English firms and get some insight into what type of candidate they are looking to recruit. It’s also a […]

Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A’Body’s Wullie! And for the summer, he was indeed. Over the course of July and August, Dundonians bore witness to their beloved cartoon laddie – Oor Wullie (or “Our William” if you’re from the Ferry) incarnate as fifty-five sculptures painted in bright colours and scattered around the city.

After a gruelling 17 hour flight which included an aggravating 6-hour layover at Doha, Qatar and an hour long drive from Edinburgh – I finally reached Dundee!
