They say the best way to feel better about yourself is through helping others. And in no act is this more clear than that of voluntary work. ‘Volunteering’ can refer to a smorgasboard of activities. Whether you simply take an old dear’s chihuahua out for a walk or wash the windows for your neighbour, theContinue reading “Volunteering: Help Others And You Help Yourself”

What Do You Take For Granted?
I recently started volunteering at a charity for children with additional needs. The charity provides free sports and activity sessions to give these children the opportunity to play and have fun as any child should have the right to do. Having only attended a moderate number of session so far I can already feelContinue reading “What Do You Take For Granted?”
Day Trip – Woburn Safari park
Zoos are pretty dichotomous places. Good for their conservation of an endangered breed yet bad by preventing an animal from living in its natural habitat. Many more pros and cons come into play when determining whether there is a need for a zoo or not. But I’ll keep that discussion in the pipeline, for todayContinue reading “Day Trip – Woburn Safari park”
Poem: Ocean
The ocean hugs the shoreline like a mother does her child. Waves crash against the coastline as the stars above collide. A million lightyears away, do planets exist like mine? Why does it matter anyway? For it’s Earth where I reside. The sunlit sands so soft to touch, as Mr Sunshine beams his smile,Continue reading “Poem: Ocean”
Poem: Planet Earth
What is this planet we call home? Crying tears of salt water, Which hugs the coastlines days later. Spouting rivers of lava, Meandering from vast volcanic craters. Motions of oceans, You see land, you feel safer. Deserted deserts. Here thirst does not waver. Hosting the coldest of climates Where chances of death become greater.Continue reading “Poem: Planet Earth”

I only live 15 minutes away, heels are hard to walk in I tell myself,Continue reading “Sexual Assault – Should We Be Allowed To Carry Weapons?”
Prepare To See A Camel Race!
Standing in a field in the blustering weather on a Monday afternoon in Northaw, you’d forgive me for doing a double take at the sight of a bright-eyed, beige- bodied spitting camel come hurtling down the hill, with the jockey in tow gripping onto the camel’s moulting mound for dear life. Yes, cheltenham eat yourContinue reading “Prepare To See A Camel Race!”
How To Feel Better About Yourself
To help yourself – help others. Today as part of the company charity day I helped out at Brixton Soup Kitchen, a service providing hot meals and clothing to those in need, including homeless people and people suffering with mental health issues. Of course my interest was to help those in need but strangely enoughContinue reading “How To Feel Better About Yourself”
Tough Mudder – S.O.S
For any naive soul out there who doesn’t know what ‘Tough Mudder’ is exactly, I suggest you keep it that way. For it seems to be the hybrid spawn of Satan and someone your mother dearest just isn’t too fond of. In other words – it’s going to be hell. And guess who just signedContinue reading “Tough Mudder – S.O.S”
