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 ;])

Diamond Jubilee

There has been a lot going on in my time off but one thing that has dominated it is the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. She has been on the throne for 60 years and is 86 years old! On Tuesday 5th I went up to London to join in some of the celebrations with my Mum and Auntie the atmosphere was amazing. We saw the Queen and alot of the Royals go past in cars and carriages.

Freedom

Monday: On Monday I met Nicola in town for a Starbucks and we chatted and watched the world go by, it was so lovely. We then moved the party down the highstreet and grabbed a McFlurry and enjoyed it in the sun. Tuesday: Yesterday I had an early start with Mel picking me up at 6.30am, We were off to see the Xfactor auditions which was really exciting. Mel drove up in her car with Aaron, Callum and I and we listened to the Camp Songs CD really loud. It was such an amazing day we got there early and had tickets just 5 rows away from the floor seating. The judges, Tulisa, Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Rita Ora were just metres away!! The majority of the acts were absolutely amazing there were only 3 terrible ones! Before leaving the O2 I made the most of the half price Frappe's at Starbucks by buying 2 venti drinks! 

Guilt free pleasure

'My worst nightmare' was my last exam and since then I have been having fun without having to worry about revision or any kind of school work. It feels amazing. On Friday I had school friends over in the day and work friends over in the evening, It has been ridiculously hot. When Nicola, Ella and Mel came over we had dinner and then walked to Waitrose via the woods near my house to buy sticky toffee pudding. It was a fun little adventure!! Saturday was also action packed as I went to my hometown to go swimming with Anthony, where there is this amazing outside pool!
