Last week: Swanage & Airbourne

001. Deciding which pictures to choose for this post was so hard because there was so many. I had to push two posts into one because I've got so many ideas for posts that I'm going to run out of time to the point that they'll all become irrelevant. But last week I went on holiday to Swanage in Dorset and then over the weekend Airbourne was on in Eastbourne - my camera was loving it.

002. We went to Swanage from Sunday to Thursday and all in all it was lovely. We go there every year and despite the forecast, the sun comes out every time which is perfect with the sandy beach and wanders round the cute shops. Because Harry came this year there wasn't space in the car to go travelling around but on the Tuesday we caught the bus to Tower Park (highly recommend if you're near Poole) and on Wednesday it was Dad's birthday so we hired some kayaks. The only downside to the holiday was the fact that we stayed in a youth hostel. It was dirty, the room was incredibly cramped, it hadn't been refurbished in about 25 years and just overall tragic to say the least, so if anyone's looking to stay in Swanage any time soon, don't consider it!

003. From Thursday to Sunday Eastbourne held it's annual airshow Airbourne and I have to say it's one of my favourite events during the year. The atmosphere is always great and the displays never disappoint, especially from The Red Arrows. Because I missed out last year I went on Saturday with the family and then on Sunday with Harry and both were completely different. The weather was lovely on Saturday, we had a picnic on the beach and The Arrows did a more large scale display with more moves (I can't think of a better word I'm sorry); whereas on Sunday the weather was a bit cloudier so there wasn't as many 'moves' and they were closer. Each was equally as good though.

British Summer Time at Hyde Park 06/07/14

On Sunday Me and Harry went to the Barclays British Summer Time festival and it might have been the best day of the year so far. I was full of excitement all day, we saw Diversity, Scouting For Girls, The Vamps, Backstreet Boys and McBusted, ate lots of overpriced food and I experience the chaos of festival toilets for the first time which was absolutely terrifying.

Diversity and Scouting For Girls were the warm up of the day. They were both fantastic but the  atmosphere hadn't really collected at that point. For some reason we then decided that we were going to try and go foward a bit so that we could watch the Vamps more close up. Worst idea ever. I should've brought a stool or grown a few inches within the 10 minutes but I could not see a thing and had Harry giving me commentry instead. Afterwards we went back to our spot where we watched the first two and decided to watch the Backstreet Boys. We hadn't really planned to watch them so we weren't really sure what to expect but everyone around us was pretty hyped up about it. They were actually pretty amazing, everyone was dancing and I actually recognised some of their songs! But they did dance like my dad does when he's drunk..

Finally McBusted came on and once again they were absolutley incredible. At the beginning the heavens opened and everyone was rocking out in the rain and it was one of the best experiences of my life and a rainbow even appeard during 5 Colours In Her Hair. By this time the atmosphere was unlike any other and I think it was the best birthday present ever.

Sweet Sixteen

This weekend I turned 16! Mum's motto for the day was "you only turn sixteen once" and she really did go all out there!

We started off the day by opening all my presents and I was given the loviest handbag, a Pandora bracelet, tickets to go and see McBusted (again!) at Hyde Park and lots of money. Afterwards, we headed out and went for some birthday breakfast. I don't mean to sound rude, but having breakfast at the local chavvy carvery wasn't exactly my preffered way of eating it, but the boys were eager for a fry up so hey ho. From there we carried on into Brighton, did a spot of shopping, walked around a few of my favourite spots (I'd reccommend the North Laines to anyone!), had a couple of games of bowling and finished it off at Gormet Burger. In the evening I had everyone round for drinks and mum made the cutest little set-up in the garage for us. The second to last picture of us isn't the most photogenic - excuse my father's photography - but it shows we were having fun right?

I admit, I was a very lucky girlie. I was given a bunch of amazing presents, I spent the day with everyone I couldn't live without and the sun even made an appearance! It was the perfect excuse to wear my new Zara dress and relax - if only we could have 3 day weekends every week. Sigh.
