Thank you @thescreeverzine for featuring me in the latest issue - in it, Lee and I talk about my writing process, balancing self-promotion with art, how streaming is changing how we consume music, and loads more. I'm also a clue in the crossword puzzle! 😃 Buy a copy of the zine at the link in my stories.

Thank you to everyone who tuned in to my livestream with @mishkinbird on Friday night - we had a wonderful time performing new songs and old as duets on our duelling pianos 🎹🤘🎹🤘 maybe we should turn it into an IRL ticketed show one day?

For anyone who missed it, newsletter subscribers will get sent a playback link at the end of the month (sign up at the link in my bio).

Mish and I had a blast together this week - we spent our days making music, doing yoga, foraging, casting spells, and cooking delicious vegan foods 😋 if only we could spend every day this way ❤️

I did it! I jumped out of a plane and skydived over the Gower at 10,000ft! Im terrified of heights so this was a huge challenge for me, but it was exhilarating and breathtaking and one of the most amazing things I've ever done. Life is so beautiful outside of our comfort zones; there's no greater feeling than overcoming your fears and realising that your life and experiences can be so much bigger than you ever imagined.

A huge thank you to everyone who has donated to my fundraiser, this morning I hit £555! I'm going to set a stretch goal of £600 and keep it open for another week or two - if you haven't donated already, you can read about the charity (Neath Foodbank) and donate at my JustGiving page (link in bio). ✨️
