Brexit
I am in disbelief at the results of the EU referendum, with the UK voting to leave the EU. I was firmly on the Remain side, seeing this as the sensible decision. From a scientific point of view, I know that science benefits from collaborations in research and I am nervous to see the effect […]

A trip to the King Power Stadium
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I generated a mini bucket list at the beginning of the academic year with some things I wanted to do whilst still in Leicester. Last night, I ticked off one of those things by going to a Foxes game. With my Dad and brother being massive Forest fans, […]

A trip to Birmingham
Last weekend my boyfriend and I decided to take a trip to the Birmingham Christmas Markets. After spending a lot of the Christmas season last year in Germany, I managed to visit quite a few of the markets, including Frankfurt, Strasbourg and of course, Heidelberg. Living in Heidelberg did mean that I started to get […]
Reunited in London

I really enjoy the farmer’s markets that set up stalls on campus around once a year selling locally grown food such as fresh fruit, vegetables and homemade cakes although I am slightly averse to the pork pies and other meat dishes for that matter! I usually miss the notice that the market will be on […]

Bendy Buses and Blank Memories
I love walking, jogging, running and everything in between. Basically, I enjoy any form of physical movement which involves the feeling of brisk fresh air (well as fresh as air can be in a city) on my face as other people go on busily with their lives around me. As I am currently living at […]
