This is Part Two of my endometriosis adventure – you can read Part One here. When I woke up, I was shaking, quite violently. I was propped up in a hospital bed. The lighting was quite harsh. I could feel a small cushion between my thighs. I turned to the nurse who was attending to…
*This is a long post detailing my experience of endometriosis – you might need a cup of tea before reading!* I can’t identify an exact day or an exact moment where I can say, there, that is it, that’s when my endometriosis started. It started to become more of an issue in June 2017, but before…
I can’t stay away. I think this is possibly the longest I’ve gone for a long time without writing any blog posts. And I didn’t stop thinking about it. Sometimes, I take a picture or I go for brunch and I often think, this would make a good blog post. But for awhile, I couldn’t…
It’s high time for a rant. Or a vent. Or whatever this blog post all about the latest with my endometriosis turns out to be. I’ve had another spell of the bad days. And I put it down to stress. I was hating the new job I went into at the beginning of September. It…

Twenty five. Quarter of a century. That’s how long I’ve been living for and I’m quite pleased with my progress so far. I’ve lived in five different places, travelled a lot, worked hard, partied hard, learnt some lessons and eaten some beautiful things. Birthdays and New Year’s; those are the two times that I get…
I haven’t been very creative in the kitchen lately, but I’m still trying to work out if that’s an issue or not. Life itself has been very up and down lately, so I’m not surprised that my cooking has been out of whack. I haven’t got the energy. On my bad days, I’m very reliant…
There’s a moment before the real pain of a chronic condition kicks in that you think to yourself . . . oh no . . . Here it comes. Honestly, going through the pain of an endometriosis flare up is bad enough, but to know that this will repeat every few weeks is sometimes too much…
When I first started my site, I had a goal – I wanted to be a professional food blogger. I have a degree in Creative Writing and a true passion for food, so I thought blogging was the ideal way to make money from my skills. If you ever scroll back to my early posts, you will see product reviews…
