I've always been drawn to old buildings. I love immersing myself in the design and decor of a bygone era, pretending I'm a character out of an Austen novel, whiling the days away in a large manor house, in a perpetual state of luxuriant boredom. From the Keats-Shelley house in...
A LITTLE GUILT GOES A LONG WAY Alright, full disclosure; I am in love with Christian Bale. It all started with American Psycho, then the Batman trilogy and then suddenly I was working my way through his entire filmography. Luckily, he's starred in some pretty good shit so it was easy...

Marble Productions is the latest addition to Northern Irish theatre, founded by Cathy Ievers and Ellen Colliers, two young women passionate...
Marrakech was on the travel bucketlist for a looong time. I just kept copping out though due to concerns about whether it's a "safe" country for women. In the end though, I'm so glad that I finally bit the bullet and spent a few days there. I had the absolute...
