On Monday I'm going on a caravan holiday at Haven Holiday Park in South Wales. I'm so excited because I haven't been on a caravan holiday for several years now. It's exciting and different to a regular holiday but I just find it so cool. It's a home away from home where you're self catering but you have all the amenities at your fingertips plus a fully fledged kitchen and bathroom, living room and bedrooms. It's great. I thought I would share some packing tips and what I plan to take as I'm going away for five days. I'm hoping this post is useful to any of you going on a caravan holiday or if you're just going on holiday and are struggling with the packing, this might be helpful to you. Let's get started.  1. Plan outfits The one thing I've always struggled with when it comes to packing is clothes because I used to be the person that would pack things just in case. Another thing I'd do is throw random tops or trousers in my suitcase a...

It's the seven month of the year, we are now over the halfway point of 2025. It seems like only yesterday we were saying goodbye to 2024. Now we're finally in Summer. What a year it has been already, I got my first car. I've been on holiday in Majorca. I'm currently writing a novel. Last weekend, I went to Manchester and made lots of other memories. It's been a good year so far. This month is exciting because I'm actually going on a caravan holiday next week. I'm very excited about it because I've been wanting to stay in a caravan for a while. It's just me and my mum in a three bedroom caravan in South Wales. We're staying in a Haven park which is always exciting. There's always good entertainment and it'll be a nice week off. Even though I not long ago had a week off, it's nice to have another. I know with a caravan, it's a self catering holiday but it's exciting, you're still away from home. You're in a new place, yo...

This month, I definitely watched a lot of shows because this list will consist of three shows I watched. I couldn't think of anything else as a favourite for this month so sorry about that but these three shows I thoroughly enjoyed this month.  Let's get started. Not Going Out I recently watched old episodes of Not Going Out. It’s a series where you could watch any series and pick up what’s going on. I watched the new series recently and I was a big fan, it did have some moments that were funny but as it was mainly Lee and Lucy with the absence of Lucy’s parents, Anna and Toby. It didn’t have the same familiarity. It did have some funny moments like the Oasis and Hotel Room episodes I enjoyed. Yet it did feel like it was missing the other elements of the show. I’m aware there will be a series 15 and I kind of hope they bring back familiar faces like Lucy’s parents or any of their friends or even the children grown up. Either way this is a series I will continue to watch and rew...

Thought I'd share another update of my writing journey as progress has been made. I've done two thousand words worth of research which includes my novel's logline and road map. This has really helped me as I've outlined different points of my novel which I wasn't sure about before but now it feels like it's coming together. I know that this road map is not set in stone as ideas can change but it's a starting point. Definitely worth creating a road map for your novel as it helps you to map out where you're going with the story. Definitely splitting into Act one, two and three also really help with it.  It definitely helped when I decided to do some writing in a coffee shop one day. I find writing in different locations can really spark motivation. I took my road map with me and was in the middle of writing a chapter when I went there> i got myself a caramel latte and set myself time to work. I like writing the old fashion way with a pen and my notebook...

Finally back from my holiday and back to reality. I thought I'd share a photo journal of my trip to Mallorca. It was a family holiday where there were twelve of us altogether. Seven adults and five children. I had an amazing experience and here are the photos of my experience. Let's get started.  As there were twelve of us, there were a lot of suitcases. Never travelled with so much luggage before. I only had my suitcase and a backpack so I didn't have a lot to worry about. Plus as I had a purple suitcase at least mine would stand out in baggage claim.  We flew from Bristol airport and it was a nice flight. I had a window seat both ways. It was a nice view as it was an afternoon flight. My ears popped in the landing which sucked but what can you do? I tried the different methods, sucking sweets and earbuds in but they still popped.  It was a lovely hotel we stayed in. It was a HYB Eurocalas and it was a lovely resort. It had different buildings which had one bedroom apart...
