Most of this blog is a personal place for me to write about things that spark my interest.

However, I’m also a fledgling journalist, working at a trade magazine for the restaurant and hotels industry, and having done years of work experience at consumer and trade magazines like InStyle, House and Garden, Country Living, Grand Designs Magazine, Travel Trade Gazette, Gurgle, The Grocer, Restaurant, Food and Travel….slightly random, but useful places to learn!

As my bio on the right says, I’m interested in anything ‘lifestyle’ (urgh, horrible word), culture, food, drink, history, consumer trends, psychology etc. I also worked as a Web Editor for nearly 3 years so I can more-or-less handle my html (cough).

I’m also on Twitter @HannahsRhapsody
and some examples of my work are here
