Twenties: repacking hand luggage for age 21
People will come to you.
About me.
Hello, hi and the warmest of welcomes from me. Someone who is emotionally unstable at the most irrational of things, has an addiction to Coke Zero, sees red when she can't go for a walk and loves charity shopping. I like stripey jumpers, floaty skirts, really salty crispy chips, the last Malteaser in the packet, men's socks and big coats. I read The Times on a Sunday, am a devout follower of Dolly Alderton and Everything I know about Love, make a new more unhinged music playlist each week and buy Easter eggs in January. Writing cards and letters is something I like to do, using up the books of stamps acquired in a house clearance. I have now amassed an ungodly amount of cards to write, currently blank. I do not do things by halves. Two articles are published each week (Monday and Thursday), you can sign up the mailing list to receive notifications for this. Instagram features my photos, both paid and personal pieces.
Happy reading
'Kate' xx
