Easy Flapjacks!

By
Hey friends! 

It’s been a while right.... lockdown has been such a turbulence of emotions. I went from having uni work to complete and almost feeling overwhelmed, to then having nothing to do. 

But I want to be an authentic writer and have the confidence to post whether I’m in a good state of mind or not. I love writing and it truly brings me alive. So I definitely need to do it more! 

Anyway I wanted to share a SUPER easy and yummy recipe. If you’re a pro baker, then you may want to stop reading haha. I used an already easy BBC Good Food recipe and made it EVEN easier.

You will need: 

• 250g Porridge oats 
• 125g Melted butter 
• 125g light brown sugar 
• 3 tbsp golden syrup 
• Dried fruit/chocolate/any topping (Optional) 

1. Pre-heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas mark 6. 
2. Mix porridge oats, melted butter, sugar and golden syrup in a mixing bowl. 
3. Add topping of choice/leave plain. 
4. Press into a greased tin and cook for 15 minutes. 
5. Leave to set and cool down before you take it out of the tin. 

Super easy and yum. 

Now this may not be revolutionary for many of you, but it may inspire you to bake some yummy goods. I’ve spent probably half of lockdown baking and it’s been great for my mental health to have a task to focus on. 

My sister and I love baking together, although she is far better at it than I am! So we have been FaceTiming and both baking something different and I’ve loved it. Would recommend! 

I hope you’re all doing well, despite what’s going on right now. I am hoping to do a few posts in the next coming week to talk about BLM, as it’s something I am educating myself on. 

Take care, 
Charlie x

Comparision

By
So i guarantee everyone reading this has compared themselves to another person or object at least once. Comparison is very common in teenagers especially, but most of us do it. In a way it is only part of our instincts as we all get envious, but it is also really unhealthy. If you're constantly wishing to be something else, then you can't really ever love yourself can you? Then how do you expect somebody else too if you can't. There is a fine line between passively saying "I like her hair I wish mine fell like that" and saying "I like her hair, why can't I be like her. she's so much of a better person than me". There will be times where you will be jealous of somebody's appearance or their talent or personality etc. But their qualities or skills do not define your qualities or skills. What I mean by that Is just because somebody's qualities are high, it doesn't make you any better than them or any worse. Nobody can compare themselv

Are books losing popularity?

Are books losing popularity?  So personally i believe they are. Now let me explain my reasons why. So many years ago before technology most people would read books as a pastime out of enjoyment. Now that color TV'S, mobile phones and the internet are around less and less people are reading books. Also a high number of the population would prefer to watch the film as it's easier and requires less concentration. This means that the majority of people my generation (Late 1990's+) are just not interested in reading in fear of looking uncool and like a "nerd". Now obviously it is in the curriculum to read when you first start school, so most people can actually read they just chose not too. Me being an avid reader and lover of books cannot see this nonsense. but unfortunately it's the truth of today's society. So my second reasoning is fairly similar to the first as it's also down to technology. So i'm sure you've all heard of E-readers and ki

Religion...

By
Now I know religion is quite a conversational subject as every body has their own beliefs due to free will. But I would like to just explain it from my own belief and what I think on the matter. The religion I follow and believe in is Christianity and I have done for the past 8 months. Being a christian is a huge part of my daily life and I take pride in the fact I have a father as amazing as god. It's so reassuring to me that one day I will be reunited with god in heaven after serving him here on earth for many years. It saddens me that people get mocked, beaten up, even killed for believing and serving god. Most Christians mean no harm to anyone and all they wish to do is praise gods creations and spread the word of his gospel. Within my church family I know some pretty amazing people and I've had the pleasure of appearing in their lives due to god and I find that phenomenal that one god can have so much power. I believe that god gave his only son away to forgive the sins o
