My Summer: V FESTIVAL

After returning from seeing my family in the beautiful peak district i returned home in Surrey in the south of England, after working a few days i was soon greeted with the exciting prospect of V FESTIVAL! For those who don't know, V Festival is a music festival hosted by the company Virgin Media and is very popular with celebrities such as Ed Sheeran, the Geordie shore cast and members of ONE DIRECTION!

I can safely say that V Festival was the best and worst experience of my life all rolled into one. Usually the Festival goes on for a weekend and people camp close by for the weekend. Me and a friend didn't fancy camping so we bought a Saturday ticket and a hotel for the night and i'm sooo glad i only went for the day. I got to see so many acts i wanted to see such as Labyrinth, Beyonce, The Script, Connor Maynard, Katy B and bumping into the Geordie Shore cast (but no Niall Horan :(). However, the festival is hosted in a large park but was jam packed with around 300,000 people which made it hard to move round and difficult to go to the loo. Also the park constantly smelt of drugs and you would get the odd drunk person making inappropriate comment, but i would defiantly recommend it to anyone thinking of going next year because it is an experience you will never forget and the majority is so much fun! If you are thinking of going, a small dis-calmer  don't buy jelly off anyone. I bought Jelly, thinking it was only jelly. Yet once it passed my lips i automatically spat it out, instead of water, the people selling it used pure vodka which was gross but i survived.

My Summer: Peak District

After the exciting day of stalking Harry Styles, me and my family (which make up of me, my dad, my step mum, and my three young brothers - Kieran, 14, William, 2 and Finn, 6 months) headed to the peak district. For those who dont live in England and don't know what or where the peak district is, it is a national park based in the north of England! 

The Peak District is a beautiful place, surrounded by rolling hills and cows it provides breathtaking views for miles on end. As me and my brother Kieran, both live with my mum in the south of England and my other brothers and my dad and step mum live in Saudi Arabia, it was nice for us all to see a different part of the world!

Also as my youngest brothers, Will and Finn both have never seen cows before, it was an extra special trip as Will was absolutely fascinated by the Mooing four legged creatures!

I couldn't have asked for my summer to start off in a better way as i was surrounded by my loved ones who i don't often see and beautiful weather and scenery. I even managed to sneak in a cheeky selfie or two whilst i was there!

If you ever get the chance to visit the peak district, please do! Its a beautiful part of the world and you wont regret it!

My Summer: Stalking 1D!

Hello Blogasphere! I'm back, again.

Over the summer, I've taken time out of the internet and tried to focus more on my studies and my loved ones around me. By doing this, my whole mind set from how i think and communicate myself and how i manage my time and this is a main reason why my ever so small blog has died for a little while.

This summer has been incredible and i think has been one of my most memorable summers to date. I was able to experience amazing things, surrounded by the people i love being around, and that in itself is just fab. Over the next couple of days or weeks, i will be making a series of blog posts about all my experiences, as writing my whole summer in one post would be extremely long to read. I've done a brief post called "summer" which touched on the topic of stalking Harry Styles before, so if you would like to check that out, then feel free to do so, this post will have similar information but in much more depth! Hope you enjoy!!

I broke up from sixth form around the 20th of July and thats where it started. The same day i broke up from school i suddenly found myself on a train up to Cheshire to see my family for the first part of summer. Firstly visiting my uncle in Cheshire created an opportunity for some celebrity stalking. As a proud directioner, i obviously knew of Harry Styles upbringing around cheshire in the ever so cute town of Holmes Chapel. My uncle, happens to live 4 Miles from Harry Styles family home. So by gathering up troops of my female cousins and convincing my dad to drive, we headed to Homles Chapel. As my dad was not too happy about what he thought was "wasting petrol" we didnt actually leave the car. BUT we drove past the bakery where Mr. Styles previously worked and drove past his family home, i was extremely excited and there was many "feels". Unfortunatly, due to this, i was too excited and forgot to take any photos and my dad (who had put up with one too many screams) refused to take me back :(

look out for my next post of my summer series!

Summer

Haven't made a blog post in a while, this is due to the fact that since the 19th of July I've broken up from school for summer! Since then I've been with my dad in the Peak District, tried to stalk Harry styles' family in Holmes chapel and been to work. From the 20th - 27th of July I got to visit my dad, step mum and my brothers whom I never usually see because they live in Saudi Arabia. During this time I stayed in the Peak District and visited my uncle who lives in Cheshire. As a one direction fan I took this opportunity to make my dad take me to Holmes chapel. It's a beautiful little town however we had no luck finding the styles family, don't really mind because then I would have felt like a major stalker. 

 Whilst we were in the Peak District as one of my younger brothers has never seen cows before he was completely obsessed and would wake me up every morning to go and find some "moo's" 

Had a great time with my family and my baby brothers! Cannot wait for the rest of summer to come along!

British Summer Time

Andy Murray Winning Wimbolden

Today and recently, where i currently live in the South of England, it has been so warm! As miserable brits, we are used to 300 days of rain and constantly wearing our coats! At the moment it is usually about 31 degrees which, for us, is baking hot. In winter, everyone moans about the cold and the countdown for summer begins, but once summer comes around, we moan about the sweaty heat and the countdown for winter begins. A viscous cycle. Through all the moaning and heat, this weekend no true brit would want to be anywhere else as history was made with Andy Murray winning Wimbolden. These past two summers have been extremely patriotic for England as in 2012 everyone came together to host the fantastic Olympics and this year Wimbolden was won by someone from the UK..a first for 77 years.  No matter what anyone says, im proud to be drink tea and eat scones because im proud to be British.
