I discovered oh comely magazine hiding behind some crappy fashion mags in whsmiths, I must say I was pretty excited about everything I saw as I flicked through it. I was more than happy to part with a mere £4 so I could have it, it was issue 5 that I started and I've not missed an issue since. The thing that is so special about this magazine is that its so carefully put together. Each awesome thing it features you can feel the time that was put into sourcing it. Its not full of any old shit, it doesn't bang on about 10 day bikini bods, it couldn't give a fuck what is going on in Towie nor does it shove Aztec hippy drivvle down your throat. Its special.
My favourite thing I've ever read in oh comely is a story about someone who worked bagging bread rolls every day at a bakery at 5am this person talked about why being bored is good for you. You tend to not have any other choice but to think deeply about things and I started thinking about how you should appreciate everything and see a good reason for everything because if this person managed to find that they gained from such a tedious job I really should stop moaning about trivial things and see that everything is good for me. You can read it here at this link or find it in issue 8.
I've not got round to getting issue 16 yet but I'm pretty excited, this one looks a bit different but in a good way.
