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. From making friends, finishing school, college and uni, first jobs, moving to a different city (WITHOUT my family!!), living with my boyfriend, getting a big girl job, losing my big girl job but carrying on, more new friends, more fun, more laughs, more gigs, more experiences!! So whilst I miss Germany and that era of my life more than anything, so much so that my heart feels heavy writing this. I wouldn’t change anything for the world.

Pastel & Afflecks Palace @ The Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

Since the beginning of time women have had one main purpose in society, to have children and be the caretakers for the family. But more women than ever are coming out and admitting that they don’t […]
