The personal, the political, and pretty much anything else on my mind
Apologies for the lack of blog this weekend – with Galentine’s Day and the busy weekend I just found myself in a bit of a pickle trying to get time to write. But on the topic of Valentine’s, I found myself thinking not about the couples who were off to fancy restaurants. I thought a […]
MoreMany of you will know that I’m a Christian and have been for 2 and a half years. It’s the first thing on my Instagram bio, I post about it a lot, the majority of the people I know are Christians etc. But the question from there is often “So what?” Like what relevance does […]
MoreSo, there is a lot going on in the world right now. Lots of awful stuff. Like, I don’t need to explain to you what I’m going to talk about because it’s in the title and you already know about it if you don’t live under a rock. I want to focus on something that’s […]

The very bane of my existence. One minute I’m happy as Larry with the new leggings I’ve […]
MoreHeading into the new year, I feel that I’d like to take Pepper in a new direction. I would like to structure my blogging so that you have an idea of the sort of content I’ll be producing each week. This way, it’s tailored to your tastes and you can look into the areas that […]
MoreI looked at the two contesting parties and thought: “None of these really fully represent the way I think.” But of course I knew that they didn’t form their manifestos and ideologies to please me but to please the nation. So I tried to see which one I liked best. Frustrated, I had resolved in […]

It was great (neglecting the fact that they got rid of He Lives In You, which will forever slap), but it made me realise that my degree has essentially ruined this beautiful Disney classic; all I could see was […]
