Countryside weekend.

Log burners, pizza ovens and greenery stretched for miles is something very familiar to everyone in the Bromyard area! Luckily for James and I, we had his house to ourselves for the week to enjoy each others company and even more luckily for us, our friends company. Doug and Harry managed to somehow get the same time off from London and be in the same location all together in Hereford for longer than 2 hours. We had nailed friend time. After what sounds like a very stressful car journey fuelled with a lot of caffeine, they finally rocked up at 10,30 pm, to which i had fully taken onboard "hanger". James had made us a very delicious sausage casserole and dauphinoise potatoes which i managed to pretty much inhale. It was great to catch up with the guys and have them over in the country side. A very respectable 4 bottles of wine went down that evening (even when Harry and i were there!) and we all sat in the front room with the log fire burning. At 12am, like the old lady

Jack Flash - Stone Soup vl1

Jack Flash has been one of my favourite artists since the fateful day my friend Harry introduced me to Progression, his driving music at the time, whilst i was in the back of his car. Robert Bradley, aka Jack Flash has been one artist to genuinely strike a chord with me. Last man standing gives me adrenaline to get out of bed even on the darkest of days. From his real life heart felt lyrics to his groove you cant not move to, he has everything you could possibly want from music. His new EP "Stone Soup v1" didn't disappoint. He's back and stronger than before. " Control" sticks out to me. Flash is far from light hearted with his combining of honest clever lyrics of genuine real world problems to raise real awareness with music that lingers in your brain long after its stopped on the player.

If you want a naturally cheery day, don't go here. I am currently experiencing the remainder of emotions I had after I left the holocaust exhibition and I hope I am one anti depressant away from feeling relatively normal again. I have a mega interest in history and war, and war related objects such as tanks, planes and weapons. Despite being obviously born the wrong gender, I enjoyed my trip out today with 2 of my good friends Rosie and Johnny. We all got the double decker bus as a treat and went top, front row, naturally. There are some super dope battleship guns on your way in, which set a precedent that today was going to be top drawer and full of cool shit. We immediately felt like we needed to fill our tummies before embarking on a journey through history and went into the IWM cafe. The food looked amazing. On a "I haven't been employed since January" budget, I just had a flat white, but they had sandwiches like butter bean houmous, kale pesto and crumbled f

Tap cafe

Rosie and i had ambitions to walk to London Bridge, then Covent Garden to Oxford Street. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for us, the weather had other ideas. Aside from the windy chaos that is outside, we didn't let the intermittent showers dampen our spirits (Get it!?) I scoffed a sandwich down on the way to the lift after my very late wake up of 11.30am. Better than i have been in the past so don't feel too guilty but am in desperate need of a caffeine fix and Rosie knows just the place. Tap is located in Soho and would be relatively difficult to find if I hadn't have had Rosie navigating the way ferociously even with umbrella troubles. It looks like a place that would be a "lucky find" and something different to your generic coffee shop. I had a flat white - yes, that happened - and a homemade pistachio florentine that got delivered to our table. We were given cute little bottles with playing cards as numbers for our order which was pretty cool and every
