What a start to the year... I have had an absolutely amazing time at home in England with my mum and sister over Christmas and New year, and as always, leaving was a pain!! On Sunday, the day of travel, I wake up with my ulcerous colitis blossoming up. My body was beyond exhausted, aching…
So much has happened recently and the thought of this blog was for me to be honest and open with you about my life and life with an invisible illness, however some things I don't always wanna share out just like that...but I'm gonna give you a little at least...the past few months have been…
It's all about the little things right? I keep having ups and downs, plenty of them but this week has been special. I've had a cold! Yes A COLD! The whole runny nose, sore throat, cough, aching body, fever, headache, the works! And you know what, it's been AMAZING!!!! I haven't had a cold for…
6 years ago I read Life of Pi and fell a bit in love with this text, so I wrote it on a piece of paper and stuck it on the door to my studio so I could read it every day (as well as everyone who entered the house as my studio was right…

Hey all, sorry it's been a while, times just flown by! I've been doing lots and nothing haha but today's post I really just wanted to focus on one thing. Prolapse. So I have experienced my first prolapse, and my days, it was very scary! It was a few weeks back and I had had…
Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…
This week has been tough but nothing like last weekend. So in that sense I have got better! I manage to sleep a bit at night and only have a few desperate toilet trips, which increase on an evening and still some blood but it's better at least - looking for the positives! I've been…
