Critical Pride

Hello there. Oh, I headed down to London last Friday 25th June. I partook in June 2015’s Critical Mass.  If you have stumbled upon this blog, or have somehow missed the plethora of posts from me about it before, Critical Mass is an assemblage of predominantly cyclists which occurs on the last Friday of every […]

World Naked Bike Ride 2015

I took part in the World Naked Bike Ride in central London. Yesterday Tom and I met on Blackfriars Bridge, hired our bicycles and headed to Clapham Junction.  Assembling at 2pm, numbers were scarce, so we headed to a lovely little cafe for about 40 minutes.  Back in plenty of time for applying some body […]

Anti-Tory Protest?!

On Saturday 9th May  2015 I attended some anti-Tory protests. First of all I met with Akram.  I have known him since 2008 ish time online and this was the first time we met.  We got on really well and I showed him a few sights. After meeting Seb, saying goodbye to Akram and meeting […]

Cycled 90 miles

On Friday 24th April, Seb and I cycled from Wellingborough to London.  It was a long and hard journey totalling 90 miles.  We were shattered. After much deliberation, umming and ahhhhing we finally left Wellingborough just after 10.30am. Last year I bought a Garmin device for my bicycle.  It records all kinds of information.  We […]

We were about to climb!

Big Ben tour

Yesterday (Thursday) my Mum and I went down to London for a  tour of Big Ben.  Amazing!  Stunning. There’s some work happening near to Westminster Bridge and there’s this sign: After passing through airport-style security in the entrance to Portcullis House, we sat and waited for it to begin.  I hadn’t looked into it any […]

#TimeToAct2015

On Saturday 7th March, Tom and I took part in the #TimeToAct2015 protest.  What wonderful day!  I felt so relaxed and at such ease with myself.  The lovely warm and sunny day may have helped – perhaps ironically I was enjoying a bit of a sign of climate change?!  It felt as if we were on […]

Imagination and passion in Harrod’s toys’ section

On Sunday I was in London with my friend, Giles Gear.  We had a superb day. After arriving at St. Pancras, I hopped on a Boris Bike and navigated my way to Trafalgar Square.  Without consulting a map, I cycled straight there – there was a confirmation from a passer-by that I was heading in […]

Critical Mass

Hello, Yesterday I took part in London’s Critical Mass.  As always, it was superb.  The atmosphere was amazing.  This is the third consecutive month, before that I was working the day in June, and back in May I took part in Nottingham’s Critical Mass. After a couple of hours we stopped outside Buckingham Palace and […]

London with Maureen

Hello, I might as well live in London. I was down yet again yesterday (Sunday) with my great cousin, Maureen. I adore spending time with her. But it had worked out with my final year of university that meeting up was put on hold. A final push, and my degree was complete. Summer came, and […]

Better Together, Emma and Richard Branson

Yesterday, as always, I had a splendid day in London. I jumped on a Boris Bike near St Pancras and headed to The British Museum. I have never stepped foot in here before and I don’t know why. The artefacts on show are overwhelming. Then I jumped on another Boris Bike and headed towards Westminster, […]

Cycling 111 miles

Yesterday I cycled 85 miles ish from Wellingborough to London! I forgot to check my odometer as I arrived and only checked it after I took part in Critical Mass. I met up with Tom and then we all cycled for hours. I left around 10.50pm. All in all, yesterday I travelled 111 miles, for […]

World Naked Bike Ride 2014

Better late than never!  I have finally got round to editing together all of the footage I had taken during the World Naked Bike Ride in London.  It took place on Saturday 14th June which was, coincidentally, the Queen’s Birthday Parade.  My friend and I went down to London and naturally went to watch the […]

Life update

Long time no update. Time flies. Since I finished at University I have been on holiday with Sophie to visit my friend Amy in Grenoble, France. It was a lovely break away after the final stretch of university. Weather was lovely! As I said in my last vlog, I cycled with no clothes on through central […]

2013-11-28 – Christmas in a Day

Hello, Yesterday, Tiffany and I were invited to see the film premiere of  ‘Christmas in a Day’ in BAFTA, Piccadilly. Why were we invited? Well, we were in it.  Just before Christmas Day 2012, I heard about a project called ‘Christmas in a Day’.  I had heard about and submitted footage for ‘Britain in a […]
