Almost all Scribblers suffer from the The Scribble Bug. It’s an incurable condition, with common symptoms including bibliophilia, logophilia and a peculiar love of ink, paper and the smell of old books. And that’s what this blog is really all about.

Hazy lazy dreamy dazy and bemused - can I please be back in Antibes already?

Just drinking my best life 🌹✨ . . Back to the côte d’azure and the pretty little town of Antibes. Finishing Circe by Madeline Miller in the sun with a glass of Minuty in hand and the sound of the sea in my ear. It really doesn’t get much better for a lazy wavy Saturday away. . . Plus, I’m loving all the books retelling and reimagining classical mythology right now, and reading in a bay, surrounded by blue mountains and lush Mediterranean coastlines definitely helps to set the scene for these stories of Ancient Greek witches and sharp-tongued Trojan women and wily goddesses. . . Which is all to say I quite like it over here and books are great and so is rosé and having salty skin and beach hair and holidays are magic. . . #roséallday #slayrosé #Antibes #mediterranean #travelgram #igtravel #iamatraveler #dametraveller #neverstopexploring #bookish #notallthosewhowanderarelost #positivity #suddefrance #voiledantibes #sailfastliveslow #pirateslifeforme #beachbabe #waterbaby #passionpassport #sheisnotlost #boatlife #beachlife #suitcasetravels #roseeveryday #minutymoments

A sunny place for shady people 🌊🍹☀️ . . And we’re back at the infamous Soggy Dollar Bar, so-called because you have to swim (or paddle board) ashore to the bar as boats are strictly unwelcome on the beautiful White Bay beaches. Of course, visitors from the USVI take the piss (but they do make for excellent people watching). . . Also storytime: this palm tree has a little sign attached because it’s the only one on the island that survived Hurricane Irma. All the rest have been recently bought and planted to start repopulating the beach. . . #paradisefound #caribbeansea #travelgram #igtravel #positivity #goodvibes #iamatraveller #dametraveler #passionpassport #notallthosewhowander #beachplease #beachbabes #soggydollarbar #neverstopexploring #bestplacestogo #beautifuldestinations

The Scribble Bug

Beware of a Girl with a Book. She is dangerous. “There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well to worth staying up all night to finish.” ― Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid
