A quarter-year resolution.

If we were words is a blog to show my commitment to finding good in the everyday. After a crappy 2012,  I wanted to start this blog to remind me to do that.


I'll be sharing details adventures I have, finds that make me smile, projects that keep me occupied, and thoughts on the people who keep me sane. I'm a bookworm by nature and when life throws me lemons, I like to bury my head in paper pages.

I'm originally from Mitcham, South London. In 2010 I was a twenty-something trying to juggle budgets and make the most out of living in the city. I met a bearded Welshman at a Wrexham vs. AFC Wimbledon game (don't ask). It was freezing, it was March, I was not prepared for the weather and the score was 0-0.

Fast forward 6 months, and I was commuting long-distance from London to Chester every week for adventures in Wales with the Welshman. I had fallen as hard for Wales as I did the Welshman. I was living in the most amazing city in the world (in my opinion), but, I was not happy.

So, in 2011 I moved to Chester to start over and set up home with him. Then I fell for Chester too.

Life is different now. No more tubes, no more rush hour, no more extortionate living costs, lots of walking and yes, I even own a waxed jacket. I can't believe that either.


Our weekends are spent planning/ having adventures,finding things to keep and making the most of our free time.

In late 2012, we added a very hairy, lazy, loveable male to our home. He goes by the name of Ned, and he's an Old Tyme Bulldog. He has fitted in nicely but has taken over our lives in every which way.

If you want to know anything else, just ask.
