After a little break from writing on this blog, not least because I was completing my Masters during the global pandemic (ever the wise decision maker), I’ve got some inspiration again! When you’re a creative, there are certain points that you stumble upon creative blocks. And it’s important to take this time out, some of…
Category: Thinking Out Loud
Keep your distance, please.
Wrote this little piece back in May time, when the global pandemic had essentially shut down the world. After a few months in isolation, these were my thoughts on the whole thing. Right now it seems like a lifetime ago, but in reality not much has changed. Corona Virus is very much still an issue,…
Home is in the chaos.
Like a lot of people, I’ve spent time in the last few weeks sorting out old possessions and clearing out forgotten things. For as long as I can remember I’ve always written in diaries / journals / scrapbooks, and I got seriously nostalgic finding and flicking through them all. I came across an entry in…
Extinction Rebellion & The Climate Crisis
It’s not surprising that Extinction Rebellion has been making the news over the last few of months, and some of it has highlighted a lot of bad as well as good. Extinction Rebellion (or XR as it is known) is an international movement that uses ‘non-violent civil disobedience,’ usually in the form of peaceful protests,…

I’ve always lived by the sea, but in a small seaside town, winters can be quiet and (sometimes) pretty bleak. Dark stormy nights become rainy grey days, the winds can be bitterly cold and no one…
THE ONLY GIRL – ISSUE 67
✨SO EXCITED to share that my images and an article I wrote have been published in the latest issue of SurfGirl Magazine (!!!) – This magazine has been a source of inspiration to me for years, especially as a teenager, and encouraged me to stick at surfing as a young girl. The beautiful images and…
Sunrise in Hiriketiya
The surf culture in the sleepy southern province of Sri Lanka is something I’ve been wanting to capture since my first trip here in 2018. Setting my alarm to 5:30, I headed out one morning to a little cove over the headland. My aim was to catch the morning surfers in the magical dawn light before…
Have (some) money, will travel
Have you ever wanted to do something or go somewhere but it’s never actually materialised into anything? Was it because of being too afraid of the risks? Or that you may have to do it alone? Or of the possibility that something could go wrong? I know I have, hasn’t everyone!? Holding back from doing…
A Different Kind Of Christmas
“Do your research. Read labels. Buy less. Buy local. And support brands that care.” Christmas is coming, we’re in the countdown stage and already some enthusiastic neighbors have excessive neon lights and decorations blinding you from their sitting room windows. ‘Tis the season to be jolly (although slightly annoying). Christmas is less than 4 weeks…
