Cambridgeshire based content creator and creative writer

Welcome to my cosy corner

In this space, I share book reviews, hidden-gem coffeeshops, and snippets of my adventures in the UK and beyond.

If you are into slow living and all things cosy, you’re in the right place. So, stick the kettle on, and have a browse!

I started this page because, quite simply, I get inspired by a lot of things. And I have a yearning for all things cosy. This blog, and my Instagram, became my little outlet to share with you my favourite things from books, films, and the loveliest places for you to leave your heart.

‘The Lasting Harm’: Giving a voice to those less powerful
‘The Lasting Harm’: Giving a voice to those less powerful

This book details the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell, and proves as uncomfortable as it is powerful. It is unapologetic, uncompromising, and incredibly necessary.

Operation Ark: A tale of survival, betrayal, and resilience
Operation Ark: A tale of survival, betrayal, and resilience

Pen Farthings’s gripping account of how he saved his staff and animals as the US withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021 - it is nothing short of heroic.
