A woman in her 30s, that’s what I am now.
And actually, I do feel my age. It took a while to come to terms with, but I no longer wish to be still in my 20s. I had a slight crisis when I was 29, fearing the new decade, but I’m glad I managed to get over it and now embrace it.

I had a desire to just be there in a busy bar, amongst friends and strangers, drinking and staying out til past midnight, like a fresh faced eighteen year old, discovering city adulthood for the first time.

[Read more…]A while back, I started writing some brief thoughts about various topics I find important to discuss. I would start writing but never felt happy enough with the results to finish. It’s so hard to express everything you feel about a certain subject in a few short sentences.
The eve of my 31st birthday seems the perfect time to just get these words out there. How I feel about these things as a 30 year old. It’s interesting to see how my views have changed in the past few years and I am curious as to how they will evolve in the future.
[Read more…]I haven’t had a job since September 2018. What have I been doing with my time instead?
[Read more…]We have prepared the garden according to Falk’s permaculture design, ready for 2020!
Changes made:
Next year we will also be building a conservatory and greenhouse. We have other exciting projects coming up as well.. all to be revealed soon.
