We have a house people! And what a house it is. Well, I don't want to big it up too much (it is, after all, still clearly a small place) but I think it's going to a) look fantastic, and b) be a dreamy place to come back to and forget about stuff. Plus it's really well located (in a neighborhood I know well from university days (love saying that, makes me feel like a real nostalgic). So, HOORAY!

I got so excited that I...no, not that...I made a mood board! I was in a bit of a rush actually so I didn't spend heaps of time on in, but I thought it would provide something of a double whammy: good inspiration for the house; and a good opportunity to try and replicate a moodboard-vibe digitally. Can't say it completely worked on either one of those fronts if I'm honest, but there you are. Life is full of small disappointments.

"The circle of human knowledge, illuminated by the pale, cold light of reason, is so infinitesimally small, the dark regions of human ignorance which lie beyond that luminous ring so immeasurably vast, that imagination is feign to step up to the borderline and send the warm, richly colored beams of her fairy lantern streaming out into the darkness ; and so, peering into the gloom, she is apt to mistake the shadowy reflections of her own figure for real beings moving in the abyss.

I'm a 23 year-old student in London Cambridge London, studying English Literature Law. It's hard to really think of anything truly personal I can put here that might give you some idea of who I am, so I will just tell you that my favourite Shakespeare play is Richard II, my favourite chocolate bar is Snickers, and I have a bit of a thing for instant coffee, especially if someone else makes it for me.

I'm interested in Renaissance Literature, Higher Education policy, and libraries.
I'm completely in love with a Scottish girl.
