A Place In This World

Just thought I'd show you some pics from our recent family holiday to Norfolk :) (Family meaning me and my parents (minus my bro), my uncle Guy plus wife and three kids and my uncle Toby plus wife and two kids. So a pretty big bunch, 12 to be exact...) We rented a really nice big house which was cosy and countryside-ish...and right next to the sea :)

We didn't do much, it was mainly rainy walks and lazing around at home. I was lucky as I got to be a kid and spend time with my cousins and go to 'Bewilderwood' (a giant adventure play place in the woods) but I still got to spend time with the adults and have nice meals and drink posh wine :P Though one night I was used as a babysitter for all 5 kids!

Above Left- Me and my cousin Ted on a very cold and rainy walk. Right- Me and my mum by the seaside. Sorry the pictures are of myself, I didn't want to put pictures of all my cousins up for the usual reasons :)

Above- we went on a boat to see some seals, in the rain which was lovely! They were amazing, just lolling around on the beach, must've been freezing though even with all that blubber!

Above- Our pumpkin :) It wasn't quite Halloween but why not? My mum, two cousins and I carved it, please appreciate the incredible artwork ;)


On the last day we went crabbing which I've never actually done before. We caught loads of crabs! We let them go afterwards of course, mind you they did suffer a bit as they were kept in a bucket and held lots :/
The crabs did get a bit angry when we let them out onto the concrete...they all made it safely back to the sea eventually though, don't worry :)

Above- a collage picture in a little art gallery in the seaside town, I love it :)

Above- my dad and I just before we left, my mum managed to get the seagull in the background :P

So yes, overall it was a really nice holiday :) I love spending time with the family however cheesy it sounds and it was good to get away, but I now have all my homework to catch up on, bad times :/

Anyway, hope you're all well, thanks for reading :)

String Bean Jean

Today I had a clothes clear-out. Now, I dunno if this is just me but when I'm deciding whether or not to keep something I always try it on and see if it fits/I'd wear it round the house etc. Anyway some of the things I tried on actually had me in hysterics, I looked like such a prat in old crap that's too small for me :L

I couldn't resist but take some photos (I've never done an outfit post before but I've just found out to do self timer on my camera so they might start appearing more often) You might not find these remotely funny or interesting but it made me laugh...

A 2006 cross country hoodie that I've worn twice :/ Hang on I take the word 'hoodie' back...it's a jumper and looks like something straight out of a 90's TV show :P

Another running hoodie that's seen better days! And by the way I apologise for looking scratty, I'd put my make up on in about 5mins and left my hair to its own devices...

This was the funniest...I had to wear overalls when I did lambing in March, I just thought I'd try them on for the gags :L I got them from a builders' shop where they took one look at me and said they wouldn't have anything my size, the reason for the bagginess!

This one isn't funny, well I hope not anyway...I've only worn this top once so I was trying to see if I could make it look normal cos it's all frilly and not very me. Just thought I'd show you me looking slightly more normal (but a bit moody) so you don't think I just have a really weird sense of style!

So that was today's interesting event. We had my auntie, uncle and cousins round for the whole weekend so that was my excuse for not posting. It was good to see them, the kids are lovely and we always have a good time playing tig and hide and seek :)

I hope you all had a good weekend, thanks for reading :)

Life's Good

Hello there, I am writing this with a little grin because I'm a happy bunny :) I feel like this weekend has lasted about a week already and we still have sunday :D (www.weheartit.com)
After school on friday my dad picked me up and we drove down to Wimbledon to see my auntie, uncle and 3 cousins, my brother was already there (he came from uni). So we got there around 6.30 to find a houseful of kids (all amazingly snobby- my cousins go to some bloody posh private schools.)

The Hoorah-Henry-Oh-Yar mothers came to pick up their rugrats and we were left in peace to have a nice meal. I stayed up to talk to my brother and didn't get to bed until 2pm :/ I was woken up at 7.30 the next day to do a run on Wimbledon common which takes place every Saturday so we thought we'd give it a go.

After running 5k, playing on the wii and teaching my cousin how to email (she sent me a few, all written in yellow and using every single smiley!) me and my dad went to Twickenham. He lived there when he was younger so was showing me his school and house etc. We met up with his cheese-shop-owning friend who was nice, a bit eccentric but that's ok :) Him and my dad are going to have a birthday party together so there was some planning to be done.

We came home and saw my mum (she didn't come with us) and I haven't done anything since, just the way it should be!

Thanks for reading, hope you're having a nice weekend too :)
