Parklife 2021: How to do a festival with a Chronic Illness
If you’ve been following my Instagram @livinglifefree__ then you’ll know that a few weeks ago I went to Parklife. What is Parklife? Parklife is a music festival in Heaton Park, Manchester.

York: The Weird and Wonderful
When you have a few hours spare in the most haunted city in the world, it’s only right that you go exploring! I’ve been to York before. I’ve seen the York Minister, I’ve fangirled over the Harry Potter Stores in The Shambles and walked along the castle walls. But this time, I was on a […]
Charlotte’s Thoughts: July 19th
Freedom day is almost upon us! Whether or not you agree with Bojo about lifting all restrictions on July 19th* it’s happening. The UK will be out of lockdown and Covid will be treated like the flu- get your vaccine but no more complaning. For many people this news will be a huge sigh of […]

Charlotte’s Thoughts: Freedom and The Future
As a spoonie, I often wonder about the concept of freedom. So much of my freedom has been stripped from me by my own body. It entraps my own creativity and limits my physicality. How can someone who’s very existence is limited by their own self experience true freedom? Birds and Freedom I know it’s […]
What Is a Spoonie?
If you follow my instagram (@livinglifefree__ cheeky plug) then you know I talk about being a spoonie. But for those outside of the chronic illess community, you might be wondering what it actually means. It all comes from ‘Spoon Theory.’ Spoon Theory is a metaphor to help people with chronic illnesses describe their struggles. ‘Spoonie’ […]
