I haven’t had a chance to take a breath lately so I promise staying away from my blog wasn’t intentional. Honestly I haven’t been twiddling my thumbs.
We began April with seeing We Will Rock You, a musical based on Songs by Queen.
Then, I got to travel to The London Book Fair for the first time.
It was a fantastic trip and the best bit was I got to meet some of the fabulous folk from...

“Do not go gentle into that good night.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” — Dylan Thomas |

“Deep down under where his heart resided, strangled up in thorny vines of guilt, anger, fear and longing, there lay something deeper in him, something that he couldn’t see but she could.”
― Carol Oates, Ember
― Carol Oates, Ember
“A broken heart is something even I can’t protect you from. I’ve been alone for so long, and believe me, all that does is provide a false sense of security. Being alone doesn’t erase the deep yearning that exists in all of us. We are not solitary creatures. You have to love and open your heart. If not, what is it we are trying to save? When it swallows you whole, remember it means you’ve lived.”
― Carol Oates, Iridescent
― Carol Oates, Iridescent
“Love is just like the flower; it has hidden depths that we rarely ever explore. Beneath the surface lies a network of roots. You can admire the flower for what it is, or you can dig deeper. The more you dig, the more you will find. The real reasons we love a person sometimes exist in the darkest and deepest part of us, the part that knows no logic…or rationale.”
