You know the one. There’s this thing that you have to do, and suddenly everything else becomes incredibly important; laundry, making lunch, sorting out that other thing, cups of tea, milk! you should definitely nip out and buy some more milk. I have been experiencing this with having to write blog posts. Why I am having resistance […]

I have not read nor seen the film adaptation of 50 Shades of grey. This means that I really have no place in having an opinion on it. How can I express my disgust at something I have not actually consumed? I am not here to write about the negative impact (or otherwise) of 50 […]

Yesterday was Saint Valentine’s Day. A day which appears to be about the purchasing of certain items; chocolate, flowers, cards, jewellery, lingerie, shoes, small bears holding hearts with “I Luv U” embroidered on them, edible panties (technically a different category from lingerie) His & Hers matching onesies… etc, in order to show a person that they […]

At a loss for what to write about this week, I noticed an old blog post draft called “Blog post ideas”. As the title suggests, I created this draft a few years ago (when I was planning on writing more) as somewhere to collate any ideas for posts I might have. What I have discovered is; I have […]

I have been climbing for about 3 years. Jol found a 2 hour taster course at The Castle Climbing Centre, which I was not convinced about participating in at all but, in the spirit of trying new things and because Jol really wanted to, did. The first time I tied in, I got about 5 feet off […]

Fostering community spirit turns out to be much harder than you would think. I run a small community garden project. Part of the land in the Garden I work at is given over to the “MiniPlotters” a group of people who, in return for participating in communal tasks, receive a plot of land (a Mini Plot) to […]

It is Saturday. I am writing this one whole day early (though I feel I should not limit myself to writing on a Sunday with an “Oh fuck, it’s blog writing day!” attitude). This is because we are being unusually social, and I actually don’t think there will be time for me to write this tomorrow. […]

It has been one of those days. Where things don’t go quite as planned. We set the alarm last night with the plan to wake early and go climbing first thing. I do recall the alarm going off… but then we ignored it for… well, hours. We finally woke up and I remembered we had planned […]

2013: Year of the photograph In 2013 I set myself a challenge. I can’t recall now why a 365 day personal challenge was a good idea, but clearly it was, because I decided I wanted one. A 365 Project. A photo a day. Every day. For a year. The deal I made myself was this; […]
Hello there, I’m Victoria, and that’s me in the picture there.
I enjoy making beautiful things for a living. I do this by being an Illustrator, Graphic Designer and Artist.
This is my blog; an assortment of rambing, musings, photos and illustrations.
Make yourself comfortable and take a look around. Would you like tea and a biscuit?
