I recently decided to start a vegetable patch. I wanted to grow some tomatoes. I asked my husband to get the seeds for me. Despite his highly analytical mind, strong attention to detail, and (assumed) ability to read, he picked up a packet of radish seeds. Radishes. What on earth am I supposed to do with them? (Please share any…

The biscuit/cookie debate is one I feel extremely passionate about, but one which has been ignored by our governments, leaders, and dictionary writers for far too long. So here I am, the voice of a generation, bringing it to your attention. FYI, this entire post is going to cause a lot of confusion, akin to whole chips/crisps/fries debacle. But just…

During a crisis, it’s crucial that we reach out and keep in contact with our loved ones. Yet social distancing has made this so much harder than usual… What do you mean I can’t go out to bars and drink wine? Or go to the gym just to gossip? Due to fears of the virus spreading, many of us have…

When it comes to TV, the UK and America have very different takes on what is considered good and what is not. And TV is not the only difference – Christmas, Autumn, driving… you name it. Moving to The States is a huge culture shock for a proud Brit like me. But if I’m honest, it’s the British TV I…

25 things I’ve learnt before turning 25
So I’m turning 25. Or a quarter of a century old. I never really thought about getting this old. It always seemed so far off in the distance that I’d never actually get around to it. But here I am. Another millennial freaking out about reaching my mid-20s. So, to give you a little insight into HOW I achieved this…

Coronavirus craziness
Everyone is chatting about coronavirus, aka COVID-19, so I’m gonna jump on the bandwagon. But honestly, I’m not sure what to say. Just like the spread of the disease, my awareness of it has slowly grown. At first, like lots of people, I thought it was just the flu. It didn’t seem like anything serious. Mentions of it became more…

Our Story (So Far…)
Its Valentines Day, so what better way to celebrate than by sharing our story?? A Modern Classic of the Technical Age Boy downloads app. Girl downloads app with friends as a joke (but secretly hoping prince charming will swipe right… he didn’t but she got something marginally better). As the only history nerds using the app it wasn’t long before…

Another Brit’s thoughts on Brexit
I wasn’t going to write a post on Brexit because this isn’t a political blog. It’s one about my experiences of being a Brit, married to an American and living abroad. But now Brexit is a pretty fundamental part of being British so maybe this is relevant. And I started writing a caption for an Instagram post and realised it…

The Job Hunt
The job hunt is literally the worst. Personally, I don’t agree with any type of hunting, but job hunting is abhorrent. It takes longer than expected, drains all of your self-confidence and can sometimes drive you insane. My recent job hunt was all of these things, with the extra excitement of doing it in a foreign country. Because who wants…

On Megxit – By another Brit who married an American
I’ve had a lot of Americans asking me what I think of Megxit. Honestly, I keep changing my opinion. Initially, I was like TRAITORS. But once I’d calmed down and read something aside from the Daily Mail, I realised at the end of the day, they are adults and can choose what they want to do with their lives. Maybe…
