Short story - conflict

By -
I look around for no more than a moment and I am struck with awe at the fascinating people and places around me. 
No peace lies in the busy streets of the city; and no chaos in the grass filled fields of the countryside. Both places brimming with different cultures, ethnicity's and individuals despite being neighbours. Two places unique in their own right engage in conflict because of me.
I sometimes sit and look across the river that divides the two worlds and watch the murky rubbish-filled water struggle to pass on. The tide of lilly pads lining the banks with nowhere to go. On one side is a simple life and on the other is a technologically advanced one. Both the same yet too different to coexist.

Holiday Havoc

By -

Everyone loves a good holiday. A break from it all with your friends or family, but we also have the frustration of packing. Now if you've ever packed for a holiday then you'll know just how daunting a task it is. All of a sudden you've gone from being a normal person to a Tetris master, a weather man and you're prepared for a zombie apocalypse! Lets start with the first issue, usually you'd be the kind of person that would overload draws when tidying and half the contents of your wardrobe on your floor but when going on holiday you simply can't do that. All of a sudden you have 1 suitcase that needs to contain enough clothes to last you 2 weeks! Sure that doesn't sound too hard but then you realise that little black dress that you love would be perfect for a meal out but not necessarily a day at the beach. There's now 2 outfits for one day, not to mention that the weather can be so unpredictable that shorts and a short aren't always a safe opti

Well hello there guys. So I met up with my best friend Tairrie the other day and we had a proper day where it was just me and her taking pictures and having fun and ever since we started college in September that has been quite rare for us. So I thought I'd compile a list of 10 things you can do with your BFF.  1. Sleepover - Who doesn't love a good sleepover?! Food, movies and staying up all night talking. It's perfect! 2. Go shopping - Even if you don't buy anything, go and see what's out there and have fun with your BFF.  3. Go out for a drink - Now I know almost everyone immediately thought of alcohol then but nope. I'm actually talking about going to your local Costa and having a hot chocolate and a cozy chat.  4. Go for a walk - This is one of our favourite things to do! Even if you have no where to go just walk and talk. Go anywhere do something, anything. (We like to go to the fields near our houses or have a walk through the park.)

The meaning behind my name?!

By -
Hey guys! I hope you all having a great day. For this post I just thought I'd share with you the meaning behind my blog name; the idea, reason and thought process.  Okay so I feel like I'm pretty renowned for picking names that sound cool for about a day and the ones that don't do this, I forget about! So when I came up with the name Ashes To Ashes I was so pleased with myself I wrote it down and pondered over it. After a few days I STILL liked the name so there we have it. That's why I have this name.  Oh wait. I was meant to tell you how I came up with it/ it's meaning. Okay so I have always been a fan of the phrase "Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust." And I guess this just reminds me that once your gone your nothing unless you leave behind a legacy. For some it's their children, for others their career, and to be honest I don't know what mine will be but I do know that if I die tomorrow I will of left something behind for people to re
