Your advice is spot on. Cooking solitary vegan meals and retreating often sounds good to me, but I'm old and getting picky about food. 😂 Kid needs to try being a little less austere, seize the day!

Good for you for getting into the design work. I did see the design for the sheets and especially liked the one with rain drops. I will look forward to more writing from you when you feel inspired. ❤️

A really moving post. You manage to bring back a lot of memories have made me think about the comparison between my arrival at Oxford and my younger son's arrival at the same college there many years later. Like you, I have good and bad memories of the place. Your skill in threading two stories together has really helped me to reflect on what I learnt, what I failed to learn. Thank you.

Just finished watching a Merry Berry cooking show on BBC. Big Food and Big Socializing are key themes. Your mention of the common cooked dinner makes me long for family & community comforts....

I love this comparison between your experiences at Oxford and Ruby’s. Her Vlogs are very interesting and uplifting. I am drawn in by her freshness and enthusiasm. Looking forward to reading more about you both.

That was great! I guess you got pregnant in that single bed because there wasn't enough room for two people...

I loved the university vibe and hung out at the Auckland university as detailed in my story worzel wez. They always had a week at the start of the year called orientation which was one big party!
