OPENING NIGHT REVIEW: My Fair Lady, Harrogate Theatre
Read moreFun fact: My Fair Lady was the first musical theatre production I was ever a part of.

The 5 Life Lessons I Learned In 2018
Read more2018 has been one heck of a year. I can’t say that it was a bad year because there were plenty of fun things that happened in it. But it was a year that came with plenty of heartbreak and life-changing lessons. As the new year fast approaches, it seems only fitting to look back…

My Christmas Gift Guide With Infinity & Co Jewellery

Gin Night At The White Hart Hotel
Read moreGin has recently been growing on me, adding another alcohol to my list of favourite bevvies.

BEAR WITH ME!
Hi everyone and welcome to Elisha Blogs!
My site is currently under some serious reconstruction due to my previous theme failing and leaving me without a site. I am trying to get my website sorted but am experiencing some teething pains with the new theme.
So apologies for the dysfunctional layout right now – I hope you can see past it and enjoy reading my posts. Hopefully Elisha Blogs will be back up and running as normal soon! 🙂
