I went to Italy with my best friend

This was an exceptional trip, and one I am incredibly grateful to have been able to take... it had been so long since Blakeney and I had properly spent time together and it was more than lovely to spend this time together. It was, as you can probably gather, VERY hot (we were there during the heat wave!!), but we still saw some incredible things. Also, if you're interested, this is the Air BnB we stayed at in Ghivizzano (would highly recommend!): https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/670101... We stayed at the Hotel Medici in Florence, which was really central and had lovely staff. HOWEVER, there was no air con so I would say it's a better place for the cooler months! Take a look at my new website where I have started sharing my writing, both online and in print (including a facsimile of the nature journal I kept in Spring): https://rubygranger.com/ instagram: @_rubygranger tiktok: @rubygranger8 Pumpkin Productivity (my stationery company): https://bit.ly/3wgsR85 Frequently Asked Questions: 😇 How old are you? 23 📝 What are you studying?

My life goal is to be a published author and make a living from writing and I am using this year to gain experience, build up a portfolio and work on a book with my agent. I have just finished the final draft of that book, as you can see in this video. I did self-publish a book about bullying when I was seventeen which is available on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3mdJKLm), but I'm slightly embarrassed by it now! 🎃 Do you have merch? I don't have merch in the traditional sense (I can't imagine selling something with my face or name on haha!), but I do have a stationery company where I sell planners for students. These are all designed with students in mind and follow models which I've used when planning my studying. Our products are printed in pastel colours on recycled paper: https://bit.ly/3wgsR85 🍵 What's your favourite tea? That's a REALLY hard one, but I think I'd have to say the B&B Chocolate Digestive Tea: bird-and-blend-tea-co.sjv.io/youwilllovethisone (affiliate link) 0:00 intro 0:39 Florence 3:49 travelling to Tuscany 5:13 Lucca 6:20 a slow day at the air bnb 10:19 Pisa
