Majorca, July 2016

Sunday, August 14, 2016


Recently I have arrived back in England after a two week holiday in Majorca. I'm not going to go in to detail about what we did as, to be honest, we relaxed around the pool most of the day! I just thought I'd share some pictures of my time away on here.

For two days in the second week of the holiday we hired a car which was nice (apart from the time we had to stop the car because I get travel sick!) so we were able to go to different places around Majorca. We visited Palma, Porto Cristo, Port de Pollenca and old town Alcudia. I really recommend visiting these places if you ever find yourself in Majorca!

The only down side I've found of going to Spain is that there isn't much of a variety of what vegetarians can eat, only pasta and pizza, which I didn't want every night! Personally, I prefer Greek food but for those who do eat meat, there is a lot of options on the menu.

Westward Ho! August 2015

Tuesday, September 08, 2015


A few weeks ago I went on holiday with my family to Westward Ho! in Devon (fun fact: it's the only place in England with an ! in it's name). Even though the weather was shocking and we had to come home a day early I had a good time. I made a short video of my time and you can watch it here.

The first day was a travelling day so I didn't do a lot then as I ended up going to sleep twice in the five hour journey down. Obviously we had to stop for Starbuck's to recharge ourselves and get ready for another few hours sitting in the same position. The sun was absolutely beautiful and when we went to Asda for food the first thing I bought was a 5 Seconds of Summer poster which isn't really a souvenir, I just liked it.

The second day was also so sunny that I actually got a tan, even though it is a very light one! We went to the beach for a small amount of time. The beach was half rocky at the top but as you get closer to the sea when the tide is out it's very sandy. I actually went in the sea in a bikini which I haven't done in at least two years! The males in our group went on the go karts for a bit before we walked around a bit and then went back to the campsite. After a shower we went on a walk through hilly terrains to the pebbly beach near to the site. I suspect this was when I got most of my tan as the wind make you not feel the warm rays of the sun. When we got back to the campsite we ate dinner and then we got a fire basket from reception and roasted marshmallows on it with chocolate digestives to create smores.

The third day was when the weather took a turn for the worse. Due to the rain we went to Beude and in to Beude Castle. We looked in the art gallery which held Sue Read's work, I bought a card of one of her paintings. The rest of the castle had historical exhibits about sailors and other things, we then went to the cafe which was really nice! Afterwards we went to the Gnome Reserve which I went to three or four years ago, we only ever seem to go in the rain! We all had to wear gnome hats and I bought my second pot gnome. We had lunch at a restaurant to get out of the rain before going back to the campsite and playing pontoon late at night in out tent.

The next day the weather seemed to pick up again and we went to Clovelly, it was my second time going but it's still really pretty. The streets are all cobbles and it's just a hill so it's really easy to slip, especially in the rain! We went down to the harbour and then walked across the pebbly beach to the small waterfall. My mum ended up convincing me to go in the waterfall and to the other side of it to take some 'arty' pictures of the water droplets falling and colliding with the rocks. Some are a bit blurry but I still like them, We then had to walk all of the way up the hill and back to car park and because of the hot weather and exercise we were all boiling and sweating which is not nice.

(I lost a load of writing from here on so I'm just summarising what I said in to shorter sentences.)

We didn't do a lot the next day except go to a chip shop, eat chips on the beach and walk for a bit. They day after was actually went home and it was actually so sunny!

I hope you enjoyed this post, there was more writing but I lost it!!

Festival of Speed 2015

Sunday, July 12, 2015


A few of you may know that back in June I went to Chichester for Festival of Speed at Goodwood. Even though I don't particularly like or enjoy cars and had a good time there.


I had to wake up at 5am which was a nightmare as I only went to sleep five hours prior as a dance show kept me up late. I slept a large chunk of the way to the festival and we arrived at 8am. When we entered we met up with another family which we are friends with and I got a bit suspicious when people at stands were offering me free things (they were meant to).

As the day went on the males in the group were off all over the place looking at racing and stands, which left us sitting on a picnic blanket in the middle of a cricket pitch. The only stand which took my interest was the Canon stand, they had a competition (which I obviously haven't won) and loads of the cameras with massive professional lenses on them, I was allowed to take a picture with one. I also picked up a I 'heart' Canon badge.

There was then an air show put on by the Red Arrows which I got a few pictures of and then a show done by Tornado which was just one fly by. After that we had a bit of a wander looking at the different stands, we went in to Mini and looked at the new model of car which is released in October I think, we weren't allowed to take in phones or camera's so I don't have any pictures of that. We then got the picnic food from the car and ate, I definitely ate too much as when Typhoon (another air show) was flying I fell asleep in the sun!

All-in-all I had a great time. We want to go back next year but for two days so we're able to see more and go around the whole festival. Another thing which I gained from this trip is strap marks on my back and tanned knees from wearing ripped skinny jeans as the weather was absolutely beautiful!

Sorry for the lack of posts but it's now the summer holidays so expect hearing from me much more!

London February 2015

Sunday, February 22, 2015


The pictures are really bad quality because they were either taken on my phone or in the rain on my camera and at night!

Recently, I went to London with my dance group and it was so fun! As soon as we got in to London we went to Covent Garden but no one bought anything because we were going back the day after. We then went to Pineapple dance studios and did a workshop there, we did Chicago and Hairspray but I'm not a massive fan on musicals so I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. We then went to the hotel which was like a prison; the bunk beds were three stories high, it was dirty, there wasn't very much room and we had to pay £5 for a towel! Luckily, we were only stopping for one night. We then went to Tinsel Town which is an American diner where we ate our dinner before rushing to see Billy Eliot. The dancing was amazing but I'm not a big fan of musicals.

The next day we went to Oxford Street after not having anything for breakfast as none of it looked appetising, so I had a McDonald's. We went in to Newlook where I bought a new pair of shoes, they are black, boots and have a 3 inch thick heel, they're gorgeous! Then went to Topshop where we went in the photo booth, then Urban Outfitter where we went in the photo booth again and I bought so highly priced socks. We went to M&M world which was over priced and smelled disgusting before going to Covent Garden and out of the rain where I bought my third MAC lipstick which I'll probably do a post on. Then went to Bella Italia where I had pizza and a day off of lent so I could have chocolate ice cream and brownies, it was delicious! Because we had ages before we had to catch the train we went and saw big Ben and the London eye all lit up at night.

London October 2014

Wednesday, October 15, 2014


In the weekend which has just passed I went to London with my mum, dad and brother. During the time which we spent there I did over 30,000 steps (I have a pedometer on my phone). Also, for the second time this year I went to see Wicked! It was so good it was unbelievable, best musical ever.

I think I officially know how London work, if you're travelling around get a day ticket on the underground, don't get in the way of cars and don't stop walking.

Oh and also I went in the Tower of London and looked at the crown jewels and everything else, it was actually really good.
