This blog began as a part-experiment of my writing skills, part-exploration of my love for Shepherd's Bush. Because the blog is as much about "the Bird" as it is the Bush posts about my personal thoughts, musings and experiences will sneak in now and again, if not more often.
Recently I've also enjoyed accepting commissions for writing work for other blogs and website copy as well as online and in print media. If my writing is of interest to you, please do get in touch.
I also occasionally leave Shepherd's Bush and when I do, I take lots of pictures. You can see some of them here.
I encourage comments on the blog and welcome your feedback,
Thank you for reading,

*Bird's Best Blogs
Fashion and Style and Pretty Pictures, oh my!
21eme Arrondissement - Moody Parisians getting their photographs on. (Hot men feature regularly)
A Pair and a Spare - DIY fashion/style ideas, tutorials and inspiration.
Advanced Style - You think style is something new and only for the young? Think again dollface.
Caroline, No - she's from Yorkshire, lives in London & seems to know exactly what I want to read about
Face Hunter - the world's beautiful ones captured beautifully by Yvan Rodic.
Kleidsam - The most dapper man in Germany (in my opinion) documents and photographs his outfits.
Liberty London Girl - So good, so established she has her own interns & abbreviation (LLG - duh!)
Notting Hill Girl - Just down the road but from other side of the world. Good Aussie girl in good clothes.
Outsapop - more DIY and sustainable fashion, this time from Finland.
Show Me Your Wardrobe - Pretty people in their pretty clothes in pretty pictures taken by Jackie Dixon.
Style Rookie - She's no rookie really and is the only 14 year old I aspire after.
Sugar & Spice - Shopgirl is the most "normal" and therefore likeable fashion blogger out there.
WhatKatieWore - My favourite East (*shudder*) London couple do mad clothes and mad words.
The witty, the wise and the well written
30-F London - picks up where Girl with a One Track mind left off. Not, like, with the same guys.
A Novice Novelist - the blog I could have written and love to read. Je suis une narcissiste.
A Rose beyond the Thames - Lovely writing from a lovely woman.
Backwards in High Heels - A blog I never thought I'd like (lots of pics of dogs & flowers) but I've completely fallen for Tania Kindersley's words and wisdom.
BookSnob - I hate it when a younger girl has a better job than me & lives in New York. Love this blog.
Helena Halme - Finnish lady who left her homeland for her English naval officer and the UK. Standard. Jealous.
Broken Biro - Part-time Librarian blogs about all sorts of odds & sods but particularly about writing.
Idiot English - A blog all about the amusing intricacies and pitfalls of language. Innit.
Justine Picardie - One of my favourite fashion writers. If you don't know, you better get to know. Now.
Mrs Trefusis - She tells lovely tales of family life in London and is, I believe, a Bush local.
Sex at Oxbridge - This blog makes me wish I'd had more "fun" at Uni (but not at Oxbridge).
The Voxtrot Kid - The thoughts of Ramesh who was the brains behind of one of my favourite bands, Voxtrot.
If music be the food of love, let's bloody well hear it...
Black Cab Sessions - Big bands performing in a London black cab. Obviously.
Communion Music - The music men (and women!) behind Bushstock.
Deviation - Radio 1 (finally!) DJ Benji B does more for new, fresh music than, well most Radio 1 DJs.
Neo Soul Cafe - Worth a look for the podcasts alone. Perfect new soul music pioneered by Frances Jaye.
Rcrdlbl.com - Legal, free and often rare downloads "served daily".
Urban Nerds - "Bass heavy" with extra bass.
Vinyl & Vodka - For very indie music that's still very listenable.
