Hello and welcome to AlleyHope.
My name is Ali, I’m 29, originally from Edinburgh and now residing in Gloucestershire. I work full time in the creative industries (based in Bristol) and blog as a hobby.
AlleyHope is a reflection of all of my favourite things. The (constantly evolving) line-up of passions includes films; books; crafting and cross stitching; and eating but not cooking. I’ll be blogging about all this and everything in between.
My – If I can pick only one – Favourites:
Film: Jaws
Book: The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
Meal: Tacos and Tequila
Animal: Orca – the hooligans of the ocean!
Place: Edinburgh
Dinosaur: Plesiosaur (i.e. Nessie)
TV Show: Game of Thrones
Smell: Yankee Candles’ Fireside Treats
Make up brand: Urban Decay for life!
Thing to hoard: Stationery, specifically notebooks
Look and Design
I take my pictures using my Olympus E-PM1 or my Samsung Galaxy S5.
My lovely Social Media Icons were a free download provided by the very generous Carrie at CarrieLoves.com
