Talking to myself (and you!)
My preference for communicating is always talking. But I find writing super therapeutic too – I highly recommend it. Some people call this kind of thing a blog. I call it my ramblings, rants and bants.

Dear 25year old Ames!
LESSONS FROM YOUR 25TH YEAR ✈️🌏 From limited photos to having this ‘Bookface’ website thing to document every breath during a somewhat monumental year... 🤪 🎓 Thinking ‘X’ pounds was enough to survive a year was a little naive - yay for access to further 0% credit cards in the UK. But everything...
Dear 24year old Ames!
LESSONS FROM YOUR 24TH YEAR🗽 This is the first year with limited photos. Perhaps a purgatorial time in history between “I can’t be arsed taking the films to Boots” and “let’s document every breath on this Bookface thing” 😵💫 Take That could not have released a cheesier reunion song at this exact...
