I don't often frequent buffets but when I do they tend to be the breakfast variety. Breakfast buffets are my happy place. Unlimited scrambled eggs, bacon, coffee and mini pastries, what's not to love? Dinner buffets however are a different ball game altogether. Yes, I can grab as many croissants...
Today kaityhall.com turns 4 years old! How time flies. I knew I started this blog in July a few years ago but I didn't realise it has been four whole years. The realisation made me sit back in my seat. Combining these four years with the years I ran my...
When people ask me how I spent lockdown the answer will be children's TV, YouTube 'Let's Play's', and knitting. Those are my three defining pastimes right now. Life is pretty weird. As I mentioned in the first post in this lockdown language learning series, I've been using the extra time during lockdown...
Earlier this year I stumbled across a bucketlist I wrote when I was 16. Among things like "Move to New York" and "Buy a vespa" (?) I noticed one of the things I'd listed was "Learn German." Reading that little scrap of paper filled me with joy because while I'm not...
It's something of an oddity that at this very moment serial killer, true crime and murder mystery documentaries are experiencing the height of their popularity. Once upon a time one had to pay a visit to the hallowed halls of the History Channel to get one's fill of conspiracy...

In previous posts I've talked about my penchant for old buildings. I've done a paranormal tour of East Belfast's Strand Cinema, explored Hillsborough Castle, traversed Belfast learning about street art brightening up many abandoned buildings in the city; and much more besides. So, obviously the dork within me was well on...
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...
It feels almost sacrilegious to not have a post dedicated to my 2019 goals yet. Can I even call myself a blogger without one? My Bloglovin feed has just been so saturated with content on fresh starts, why you don't need a fresh start, 2019 goals etc that I almost...
For many, the words "one-woman show" brings to mind that Friends episode. You know the one. With the furious actress yelling at the audience "CHAPTER ONE - MY FIRST PERIOD." I've personally always liked the idea of a one-woman show though and c21 Theatre's 'It Only Takes a Minute' promised...
