Wade, which for nearly 50 years has protected the right to abortion. Since this only 16 out of 50 states are protecting the right […]

Army Life: Marmite
It has officially been 10 years since we moved back to England from Germany. It has been a bittersweet feeling the last couple of weeks, feelings of deep nostalgia, and floods of memories creating overwhelming feelings of sadness. Whilst also acknowledging everything I have achieved these last ten years.

The sun is shining, you’ve just come home from work. Your friends have asked you to meet them at the local beer garden to catch the last few rays of the sun – it is Friday tomorrow.

Cheap beer, plastic cups, and speakers so loud you can feel the vibrations rip through your body, are all signs of a great venue. Waking up the next day with sore feet, ringing ears, and the songs from the night before stuck in your head, are all the signs of a great band. The Brudenell […]
