I have lived down here in Cornwall all my life, but I think you notice different things about where you live once you have children. Before having the children, I never gave much thought to pavements, busy roads or whether we could walk to the local shop. You just get…
Ad If you’ve ever tried to make a garden office feel properly cosy, you’ll know the struggle. You want it to feel like a calm little space you actually want to sit in… but the idea of painting (hello fumes and splatters) or wallpapering (paste, bubbles, trimming, stress) can be…
If you’re flying into Devon and heading straight down to Cornwall, hiring a car can be the difference between a holiday that feels easy… and one that feels like you’re constantly checking train times with a suitcase balanced on your knee. Cornwall is gorgeous (obviously), but it’s also spread out….
Ad If you’re anything like me, you spend most of your day making sure everyone else is fed first… and then suddenly it’s 3 pm, and you realise you’ve basically survived on coffee and the odd biscuit or leftover crust! Which is why I’m writing this article for the sort…
If you live in Cornwall, you’ll know that a car isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. Buses are patchy, trains don’t reach half the villages, and the school run alone can eat up a decent chunk of your morning. So when someone mentions switching to an electric car, the first…

If you’ve landed here, you’re probably asking the exact same thing I did before I started: is Katabasis worth reading? I love a good dark academia moment, I’m always up for a book that promises a clever magic system, and anything even vaguely hinting at Dante’s Inferno or a descent into the…
If you’ve just finished a big series (hello, ACOTAR hangover) and you’re staring at your TBR like… now what? you’re not alone. I’ve been having a little nose around what real romantasy readers are loving right now, and there are some really clear patterns in the kinds of fantasy and…

If your TikTok is anything like mine, your For You Page is basically one long scroll of people clutching paperbacks, whispering “this ruined me” and adding another romantasy to their summer TBR. And honestly? I’m not mad about it. June is absolutely stacked with big romantasy releases (yes, the kind…
