A Trip Down Memory Lane - Part 1

Greetings Whoever You Are,

The other day we headed down to my Great Uncle David and Great Aunty Rosemary's house down in Bournemouth. 

I have entitled this "A trip down memory lane" because I have always loved David and Rosemary's cute cottage with their little forest and big garden, I always used to run around and explore. I say used to because the past couple of years my brother is old and boring! So I go outside each time I visit by myself and still go and explore.

This time we stayed over for a night instead of just a day at their house which we haven't done for a while so it was nice to spend a bit longer there than usual. 

I would like to mention at this time about their railway. My Uncle is really into 'transport' and has many remote control helicopters and things like that. So many years ago he made a mini railway with remote control trains that go around on them. 

I absolutely love the railway but for the past 2 years it has been collecting dust. There are many broken rails etc. so we have not been able to use it. But my uncle promised me that the next time we visit everything will be fixed! I am so excited to show you guys the trains on the railway and to finally be able to play with the trains again.

The other thing that I used to do is to climb the trees in their garden. I still do this but I thought it was an important part of my 'David/Rosemary Memories' collection! 

Now we get to the main yet little part of this entry. My wheelbarrow. When I was 4 I used to love going into the woods to collect twigs to put on the bonfire when we had a barbecue but I used to struggle with the ginormous wheelbarrow that they had. So my uncle made me a mini, wooden wheelbarrow for me. I recently rediscovered this wheelbarrow that I hadn't seen for 4 years in the train shed! I actually got so emotional and I don't know why. I was so happy. 

And here is just a random pic 

So go fourth stranger, and in case I don't see ya, good morning, good afternoon, good evening and good night.

Cotswolds 2014

Greetings whoever you are,

So on Monday 4th August, I embarked on an epic journey to the Cotswolds with my mum, dad and family friends. It's only about an hour from my house but it's such a beautiful place. We were so lucky to stay in such a beautiful house that overlooked a stunning lake.

On the first night we enjoyed a lovely barbecue cooked by my dad.

Everyday swans would come in front of our balcony and we would feed them bread. When they weren't there- we would feed the huge fish that constantly swam right in front of our balcony.

We were also fortunate to have a hot tub/jacuzzi which we went in a couple of times after we came back from the pool in the resort.

On our second and last visit to the pool we found out that there was a freezing cold eco-pool. There Emily and I met two girls around the same age as us called Amy and Mia. It was amazing how quickly we became friends and I felt so comfortable around them because they were so nice. We also found out our mutual interest in thatcherjoe and other youtubers and can't wait to keep our friendship going through the internet!

On one of the days we went on a long bike ride. We cycled to and around this gorgeous lake and then rode to a pub where I ordered a steak pie (I love pie) and played 2 games of snooker. I lost one and won one but I only lost because I potted the white ball just after potting the black. :(

The next day we walked back to the lake and went kayaking. We were trying to book a go on the cable wake boarding but there weren't any available slots (you can see in the first picture of kayaking below a wake boarder). But kayaking was just as fun. In the half an hour that we had a satisfying amount of fun. I was the first to jump in and after discovering that the water actually wasn't that cold, decided to push and splash everyone else, successfully capsizing Emily. I admit there was a terrifying moment when something brushed past my leg and thinking it was some sorted of shark, swimming back to my kayak only to find that it was a piece of sea-weed...or lake-weed.
