About Me

Hi, I'm Katie Jayne Woolnough. I'm 18 and born and bred in the lovely county of Devon in the South West of England.  As you've probably seen, I'm a big fan of the Lord of the Rings franchise; am a big reader; enjoy baking and cake decorating; love walking and hiking; and am hoping to be a solicitor at some point in my future.

I started blogging in 2013, after attending a Law conference at Nottingham University - we were told about creating an internet presence for ourselves, and this is where I started.  For the first 9 months or so, I only really blogged about legal and political issues, and this really helped with coming up with ideas for my Extended Project - which I blogged about fairly extensively.

But then I found that blogging was a great way of getting rid of stress: I would make something and then would really like to share it with other people.  In the same way that I would share my revision cards with people at school, I wanted to share how I made the things that I did.  Whether this was a costume for The Hobbit in cinema, or a Jane Eyre themed Christmas cake, it didn't really matter, but I really enjoyed working on lots of different projects.

And now that my exams are over, and my Gap Year has begun, I am hoping to embark on a number of challenges that I am going to share with you.   This includes a 3 day hike across Dartmoor with my best friend, visiting a huge number of tors; a year of walks around beautiful Lakeland, reaching the summit of 214 peaks (Wainwright's); and an attempt at learning the violin.  Meanwhile I will be blogging, photographing, and maybe attempting a vlog or two.

So, join me as I embark on a huge adventure in 2014-15 and feel free to read, comment and share - I'd love to hear from you!
