Tuesday 11th March



Today we left the house so early after many diversions and losses of satellite connections on our sat nav, we made it to Heathrow airport. I havent slept in about two days now and have just eaten my first proper meal in about the same amount of time. On the plane i was presented with a sandwich box especially for celiacs the bread on the sandwich must have been made from semolina it went really grainy when you chewed it.. I ended up just eating the cheese filling.

Monday 10th March


We have been cleaning Grandma's house out for what seems like an eternity. She has dementia and has had to be moved into a nursing home its so sad to see someone deteriorate like that and now not remember you at all.
I used to love coming here when I was young Grandma would always have the best food in, and if she didn't she would make something from nothing and it was always amazing.
We always had to eat at the dinner table that was her main rule she couldn't stand the thought of children eating in front of the TV.

Sunday 9th March



Today I got some terrible news Ed has been taken into hospital and it's quite serious, I had to work all day and then I wasn't aloud to go see him this evening as mum said it would only make it harder for me to go away on Tuesday im mortified.


I sort comfort from my friends I just needed to get away from my mother. I ended up at my best friends house his whole family are so welcoming and I eat here 2 or 3 times a week when im not at uni. Everything always seems better here and everything is discussed, debated or sometimes screamed across this dinner table and yet I feel safer and more at home here than anywhere in the world.


Friday 7th March

Today I decided on a slightly different take to my project many of you will think i have gone off track but this kitchen has a special place in my heart not only for the food that is produced in it but for the fact that without it I wouldn't have met my boyfriend and even though he now works somewhere else I still have memories of us being together here.

Thursday 6th March

Today after my lesson I caught a train back home full of enthusiasm for my project and taking on board peoples comments I was excited to photograph the restaurant where I work. I have so many memories in this old building and any meal I have eaten here has always been fantastic.

Wednesday 5th March


Today I woke in a bad mood after being woken several times during the night due to housemates trickling in from their night out who knew people could be so obnoxiously loud. I ran out of ink last night so trecked into town to meet Nikki she was in McDonalds eating lunch so I joined her there I didn't eat just the sight of the food turned my stomach today, instead after buying my ink catridges I decided to do some food shopping in Tesco.

Tuesday 4th March


After spending a lovely evening with my boyfriend I had to wake up early and go to lectures. We ate so much last night im not even hungry today, so when it came to dinner time I didn't really no what to choose we went to Weatherspoon's which is known for being a no frills pub i didn't expect this to run over into the food though. Guess which one is my plate?

Monday 3rd March


Today I decided to pop round to my friend Nikki's for lunch I only had a small portion because I new that Ed and I were planning on eating out that evening.


I think its really sweet how they have a proper tablecloth it gives their flat such a homely feel.

Sunday 2nd March


Today was mothers day and I miss my mum terribly, ive been so subdued and have hidden away in my room all day, I feel almost outcasted in my house I am the oldest and so everyone looks to me for advice or general help I feel like the mother hen and thats not who I am at all I can barely look after myself.

Friday 29th February


Today I haven't eaten a lot I went to cook on our hob and swiftly changed my mind and possibly avoided a huge health hazard. I ended up eating out again my loan is disappearing rather fast.

Thursday 28th February


Today was my boyfriends and mine 7 month aniversary unfortunatly I had a session at uni and so couldn't do a lot for it.

Our session today was very interesting I learnt that the one image on my blog that everyone found interesting I hadnt really contemplated I had a thread and was running with that which was to keep an almost food journal of how the food I ate effected me. Anyways I have now decided to photograph places where I have eaten good meals, bad meals, just anything that spikes interest and gives people a larger view into my life.

Today I spent the evening alone in our flat and crashed out on the sofa I felt so low I couldn't even talk to Ed as he had a busy shift at work.

Wednesday 27th February


Today I decided it was time for a change I had been procrastenating for a while and i decided to day was the day to just go for it. I am now a brunette and not sure wether I like it. To comfort myself I ended up eating the whole of this pizza and am now very poorly oppps!

Tuesday 26th February

Had a busy day today full of uni work so in between a lecture and a seminar me and some friends went and got lunch. Vicki had decided she wanted Burger King and I wasn't too bothered about where we ate.
I had a chicken royal which ended up making me feel very ill and so more than half of it I threw away. 2 fast food dinners in 2 days my body is craving nutrition think some fruit or a salad might be on the cards for tea.

Monday 25th February


Today I found out my flat was burgled last night. Not only that but the burglers just walked straight in, because one of my housemates lost his key and was using the back door to get in and out of the house therefore leaving it unlocked. We lost everything from downstairs while everyone was sleeping upstairs. I was so infuriated and upset that i didn't travel back until this evenng to give myself time to cool off.
Another huge meal was placed infront of me this evening nowonder Lincolnshire is full of fat farmers our local chippy does a 2 for 1 special on a Monday evening so how could we afford not to have them for dinner. I feel ill.

Sunday 24th February


Sundays are always a really bad day for me I get up early and go to work at about 11 which means I skip breakfast and lunch so when I get home I am expected to eat a full family meal. This takes place in our dining room which needs decorating desperatly.

I photographed this room in shadow because it is my least favourite room in our house.

Friday 22nd February


Today I decided to carry on with the theme of looking at food I can't eat by photographing what a typical weeks shopping looks like at home.

Thursday 21st February


After an insiteful lesson today where I decided that food would be my thread, i travelled home to Lincolnshire the land of fat farmers and their families.
The First thing I wanted to do was to compare the fridge from my university home to my actual home.

Wednesday 20th February


Today I went food shopping it took me the best part of an hour and that was time just spent wondering around the shop. Not having breakfast as you all now know that i don't may seem strange, but how many breakfast products don't contain wheat???

Eating for me is a challenge everyday. I am a Celiac I also suffer from IBS so eating becomes a chore, since being diagnosed I have lost just under 2 stone this is from literally not eating because when I eat what I want I get ill.

Most of this food I am not aloud to eat.

Monday 18th February

Sunday 17th February


Today was spent with friends and family, it is not often I have the time to just relax and this evening was no different my Mother decided it was time for me to have a clothes clearout.

Saturday 16th february


With Saturday bringing the crisp clean weather with it i decided to venture out and about around my village, when I came across this very picturesque scene. I shot this in colour and black and white and in the colour shot there was too much going on in the image.

Friday 15th February


Today I travelled home to go to work. This photograph has been shot in black and white to try and capture the loneliness felt whilst waiting for your train.

Thursday 14th February


Here I wanted to capture the life sized graffiti subject. I really like how there are no real brash colours in this shot and most of the background colours can be found in the graffiti itself.

First post Thursday 14th February


Today we did our first shoot in the freezing cold I got earache! But the shoots collected were really interesting a lot of work that I wouldnt have usually created.
