Blogging is something I keep meaning to do and never quite getting round to. I always think that sitting down and writing what’s on your mind must  be quite cathartic. As I’ve been sitting in my flat alone, with nothing but my thoughts for company I guess there’s no time like the present. So here goes..

I’m a recently qualified Doctor working in the South West. I guess this will be a blog about me, my life, my love of food and travel. I’ll try and bring them all together into something vaguely cohesive. The last few days have been a bit tough really. I’ve been reminded yet again of the modern world we live in and the trials of technology and dating. It seems that with advances in technology the trickier it all gets. I imagine back in the day when you met someone and all you could do was wait for them to take you on a date or not it was all a bit simpler.

Now in the world of whatsapp and double ticks you’re constantly second guessing yourself. I thought I’d been dating a guy for the last month, he’d met my friends and seemed pretty keen. He was talking about me meeting his friends. Call me stupid but I don’t think I was reading those signals incorrectly. Right?! We’d talk every day, but since meeting my friends he’s been ignoring me. How do I know he’s not just busy, maybe his phone’s broken. We all know what those blue ticks on whatsapp mean though. We know that feeling that something is just not right. So here we are, one month of dating, one month of having a nice time, but now I have no idea what’s changed. I think probably he’s just afraid of commitment. I hope it’s not me.  I’m battling those inner demons that try and tell me I’m the problem, I must have done something wrong.

I’m choosing to ignore them. I’m choosing to be the bigger person.

So that’s how it comes to be that I’m starting my blog, getting things off my chest and doing some baking to make myself feel better!

Recipes to follow! Hope you enjoy.
