Hello world.
It's currently my 4th week of quarantine due to COVID-19 in the UK. I've been reading a book called 'All The Bright Places' by Jennifer Niven; the main character Violet has a magazine blog that she used to write with her sister, and it reminded me of when I created this page.
Considering I have a bunch of time on my hands now, I'm going to share what I've been getting up to whilst in 'isolation' as everyone's been calling it. As this blog was created years and years ago, a little update on myself for anyone who cares. For the past year, I've been working as a Social Content Executive as part of my placement year before I go back to University. My job is predominantly based around looking out for new trends and seeing how we can be the leading business when it comes to being disruptive online. On the side, I'm super interested in art, photography and video editing- I love to document things and create mood boards full of memories.
This strange time has reminded me of hobbies that I'd pushed aside and forgotten about, but I'm keen to keep this up post 'lockdown'. I'm enjoying creating and seeing how I've developed over the past few years, so what better place to share what I've been up to.
Today has been an extremely hot day in the UK. After going on my one, long walk a day with my dog, I spent most of the afternoon reading and chatting to my mum. As I mentioned, the book I'm reading is called 'All The Bright Places'. So far, both Violet and Finch are two quite troubled individuals who have struggled with coming to terms with tough events in their lives. It's really put things into perspective, and made me think how lucky I am to have little to worry about in my life. I'm really enjoying seeing how their relationship will change through the course of the book. I definitely recommend it for people who enjoy a love story.
It's now Easter Saturday and the weather is lush. I started my morning with a 5k 'run for heroes', relaxed in the bath with an eye mask and then made a bright granola berry bowl for breakfast.

As a 'lockdown' past time, I've painted some old tin cans to use as plant pots. Hopefully in the next few weeks some flowers will shoot through in time for people visiting.
My dog Winnie is loving the current circumstances. She gets 2-4 walks a day, as well as constant attention because everyone has so much free time. Maybe by the end of the month she might actually fetch a stick instead of waiting for someone to come and get it and throw it again.
Time to dye some eggs and find another creative project.
