Ramblings on a post-Brexit hangover and breaking up with a lover
Dear “Great” Britain, I write this on the Eurostar from Paris, after an unforgettable trip watching Wales get through to the quarter-finals of the Euro 2016 tournament. It felt like living through two bits of history this weekend, only one of which I wanted to witness. Aside from the joy of watching the boys in

Walking back to happiness (or: Last month a Fitbit changed my life)
Don’t run before you can walk, they say. But if 2014 was all about finding my running feet, then the first few weeks of this year have been about finding my, err…feet. Yes; I’ve discovered the sheer, unadulterated joy that is putting one trotter in front of the other. And, dear reader, it’s been a

Some Qs, Some As
Only last night I was bemoaning the fact that I’ve been the world’s tardiest blogger of late, so thanks Ruth for the tag that kick-started my typing fingers. So the rules are simple. It’s a Q&A meme. I have seven questions to answer, so here goes…. 1. What do you want most from 2015? The

13.1 miles from home girl: Or, what a Half Marathon feels like for a first timer
So, we’ve already established that I’m not a great runner. After training hard over the Summer to make it possible to run the Cardiff 10k at the beginning of September (picking up all sorts of injuries along the way), there was only one thing for it once I’d done it, got the T-shirt. Sign up

Fifty shades of MEH…or why I’ll be avoiding the film like the plague
So the internet is ablaze with talk of the Fifty Shades of Grey trailer. Yes, the long-awaited (not by me) celluloid version of the girlporn publishing phenomenon is almost here.

About this blog
Hello. I’m Sara. This site is home to my writing for the Western Mail, a newspaper kind enough to publish my internal ramblechats. In 2022 I was named Wales Media Awards Columnist of The Year for this column. Madness. You’ll find me spaffing opinions on feminism, inequality, festivals, tech, art and whatever else pops into my head at 3am the day before deadline. There’s also bonus content, when the muse takes me (WHERE IS SHE TAKING ME? I DIDN’T ORDER THIS CAB! Etc…).
