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.
