Tips for home remedies!

I have recently caught a mild sore throat and cold, so I thought for today’s blog, I’d write about some tips for home remedies! Of course, I would recommend you attend your GP if you feel very ill, but this is only when you don’t […]

Urie Diaries: A Day in London

Urie Diaries: A Day in London

It’s been so long since I have written an entry for ‘Urie Diaries,’ so I thought today would be a good chance to revisit the series. The 9th of April was the beginning of our Easter break, so I thought I’d come home. At first, I […]

An Experience: Moulin Rouge! The Musical

Back at it again with another musical review! So far, I have watched at least four musicals, Moulin Rouge being the fourth one. I had the opportunity to watch this during my three-week break before the second term starts. For those who are considering seeing […]
