About Mep
Here are a few things you may or may not want to know:
- My name’s Michelle. Some people call me Meppy (Meps, the Mepster, and assorted variations). Take your pick!
- I’m in my twenties, but I don’t intend to grow up. Ever. (Like a Lost Boy, namely this one.)
- I moved to Hull, England in September 2010 to get a Masters in Modern Slavery Studies. I graduated in January 2012 and decided to stay. Currently waiting on my visa and soaking up all that I can while I’m here!
- I really love to wear long sleeves and Chuck Taylor All Stars – lo-top, straight-laced. [Hence the name of the blog.]
- What’s this blog about? you ask. My life. My journeys to/in/around England. Efforts in abolition. Music. Photography. Et cetera.
- And most importantly, I love Jesus. He’s the reason I am who I am.
Also, most photos on the blog were taken by yours truly, unless a) I’m in them or b) otherwise noted or c) they’re of celebrities! Enjoy!
And just in case that wasn’t enough, you can find out more here.

Just found your blog and love it!
Aw, thank you!!!
