Bournemouth

It's taken a long time for me to write this post, perhaps because I have started back at school...

However! Last Sunday I went to Bournemouth with Anthony and his family, it was super nice of them to take me... We looked around the university and where he would be staying and then spent the rest of the time eating by the seaside, it was lovely. Kind of made me forget the whole purpose of the trip.

hmmmm so much going through my mind, I am going to distract myself by writing about my holiday.

Forest fun with Nicola and Ella

I spent 6 days in the New Forest with 2 of my best friends and it was simply magical... We watched scary films in our little shack and explored many tearooms.

Stonehenge

Excited about Stonehenge

Exploring our town :D

The most beautiful tearoom- EVER!

9 mile bikeride around the countryside...

Recovering...

These came in our shack!

Pretty window decor!

Our flat :)

Being back home is actually rather depressing, I have to admit! I miss waking up to company and going on adventures. I have left my job now and I am looking forward to spending weekends with my friends like I should have been doing before despite only being allowed out 1 day each weekend :D

Prague

I stayed with my best friend Aneta and we did lots of magical things including meeting up with some of my school friends who were holidaying...

Dan, Aneta, Myself and Josh and the John Lennon wall.

Eating Absinth icecream!

 We also visited this fountain which dances to the music of Lady Gaga and Adele...

I 'tried' to eat a burger the size of my face in the biggest Hard Rock Cafe I have ever seen. 

 Also attempted clubbing which was very fun! This was a 5-story club.

Me on the 'Oldies' dancefloor, I need a bit of ABBA in my life...

Surprises

I have the loveliest boyfriend ever. Yesterday we met at Starbucks at 10.30 in the morning, which seemed really early for the summer holidays. He lead me around the town walking in to different shops and pointing at random items telling me they were clues for our trip today. The clues included:

• Werther's Originals Sweets
• Olympic Posters
• A book about coastal travels
• A train magazine 
• Water

We then continued to walk to the train station, where he placed me in front of the electronic ticket machine. I had to guess the destination of out surprise trip. I was certain of my answer so I proceeded to type 'E... A-S-T-B-O-U-R-N-E'. I was so excited, Anthony was taking me to Eastbourne to watch the Olympic Swimming on the giant screen in Prince's Park.

When we arrived we visited the Pier where we wasted endless amount of money on the 2p machines to win small plastic toys... We then enjoyed sausage and chips on the beach! We walked to Prince's Park and watched the Canoeing on the big screen which was rather tense.

It was a lovely day, Thankyou Anthony <3

Oscar's Blessing

On Monday I went to a blessing of a family friend Oscar, who is now 1 which was lovely as we were part of a very select group of friends and family (around 20). It was in the local village church which is filled with history. I was asked to photograph the ceremony by the parents, Louise and Kirk which was very exciting! The blessing was rather short with just a few prayers. I love getting dressed up formally to go out so I spent 3 hours in the morning getting ready, I have no idea what took so long as I don't even wear makeup!?

Ready to go.

After the service we returned to the family home for drinks and snacks. Paige is daughter of Louise and Kirk and is 3 and such a sweetie. They have a huge garden where we could play swingball, cricket and go on the swings. The cakes were wonderful!

Forgetfulness

I have been very busy and so unorganised at the same time, I made this blog to help remember all the magical things that I do from day to day. It really does help if I keep that promise to record things.

July 1st: My 17th birthday... I had a BBQ on the Saturday with several close friends. The weather was poor. My boyfriend got me a Vintage Brownie Camera and a Nobel Collection Timeturner. My parents got me jewelery and car insurance. Nicola got me a selection of beautiful things including notecards and a water bottle which was abused with Sangria later that evening. Mel gave me some 'L' plates and the remaining gave me Disney DVDs.

Sunday 7th July: I spent with Anthony, we went on a lovely walk and frolicked in fields all romantic like :D

Tuesday 17th July: Sports day at school, It was a really lovely day. It finally came out warm and my house came 5th out of 6th. Which isn't losing! and doesn't make me a terrible community captain. I was amazing at the hula hooping event they gave me 75/25 points, off the scale!

 Wednesday 18th July: My entire school walked into the town highstreet to watch the Olympic Torch pass, which was rather exciting as there were giant buses giving out free coke and a truck with a TV on the side! I can't wait for the olympics, I have tickets for the womens beach volley ball (thanks dad ;])
