Stonehenge

Hello lovelies!

Something that I never mentioned is that I’m on holiday! I’ve only travelled south to a small village called Pitton that is in the middle of nowhere. The journey was four hours in a very cramped car because we had taken quite a lot of stuff with us.

On one of our trips our trips out; we went to Stonehenge. It was a nice day, as the weather was good and it wasn’t packed. I did actually think that it would be free to look at, but it isn’t and it costs £8.

One you’ve paid you have a choice to whether or not you get a free audio guide which you have to hold to your ear like you’re talking into a phone to listen to. I didn’t get one, as I wanted to take pictures and I wouldn’t have enough hands to take pictures and listen to it at the same time. My mum however did get one and she said that it was boring because the man had an incredibly dull voice.

You can’t get close to the rocks and there’s a path that you have to follow around the stones, but the reason is that you aren’t allowed to touch them because they’d wear down and that wouldn’t be good; for obvious reasons.

.It’s pretty amazing to think that these rocks have been here for thousands of years and no one knows why there are many theories. Such as that it is a burial ground, as bodies have been found close to the rocks; or that it’s a spiritual and religious ground and that it was used as an astrological observatory.

Facts:

It took 30 million hours to build

It estimated to have been built in 3100 BC

It’s located in Wiltshire

There are three different types of stone: Bluestone, Sarsen and Welsh sandstone

It was built in three stages

Prom!

Hello lovelies!

Last Friday was my high school prom! Something that I have posted about quite a lot about in my previous posts, so I've decided to blog a little bit about the event. 

I started to get ready at around 1 which started with a trip to the hairdressers to get my hair done which took about an hour and then when I got home I did my makeup and got fully prepared to go.

Just before going to the place where the limo was going to pick us up from my grandparents and my auntie cam around for pictures.

Note: My mum took all of these photos, so sorry if the quality isn't good. Plus I aren't exactly photogenic, so please be kind.

We didn't stay at the house long we literally had a couple of photos and then went to the village hall car park where the limo was going to pick us up from. When we got there we waited for the others to turn up and then it was time for more pictures.

Whilst inside the limo we got a bottle of shloer, as we obviously aren't old enough to drink. We also drove around for a little bit and had a rave to the CD that was playing which I think was Now 64 or something like that.

When we arrived we were the first group to arrive, so we had to stand around outside and wait for everyone else which which was good because the weather was nice. We waited in the gardens and had more pictures that my friends mum took.

When everyone had arrived we went in for the meal which to be honest I didn't really like. Instead of name tags we had boxes with our names on which inside had a key ring with our year 7 picture on one side and our year 11 on the other and my year 7 picture is really bad! I had really dark brown hair and a full fringe and I look terrible, haha!

The rest of the night was spent dancing and then guessing which teachers were drunk, as it was hilarious to see the deputy head drunk and plenty of the other teachers. The dancing was brilliant and it was overall a great night.

On the way back everyone was complaining that they didn't feel very well or that they were tired, as it was midnight when it ended, so in the limo on the way back me and one of my other friends were the only ones singing and dancing.

Straight after prom there was an after party which I'm not going to go in to much detail about because I would be embarrassing myself, as lets just say that I had a bit to drink and it was an amazing way to end prom. Apparently I kept telling everyone that I was fine and that I had nothing to drink, but when we left and went back to my friends house to sleep I remember leaning over the banister to the stairs singing thrift shop...eek.

No More School!

Hello lovelies!

Yesterday was my last ever day at school. I've finished all of my exams and now I never have to go back! It's quite strange to think about how fast these five years have gone, I can still remember in year seven (which was 2008), in Geography when we were learning about the 2012 Olympics and I didn't see the point of it because I thought 2012 was ages away and it's now 2013!

Yesterday I was only at school till 10 past 11 and then I got to go home, but before that we has a leavers assembly which was our head of year giving awards out for categories such as: Most likely to marry a footballer, most likely to be a vampire, most likely to end the world, etc.. I didn't win one, but I didn't want to, to be honest.

In form in the morning we also signed each others shirts and my form teacher gave us all cards with personalized messages inside and it was the cutest thing in the world. We also had a lot of sweets and biscuits as everyone brought some in and the teacher did as well.

Overall I will miss some aspects of school, but I couldn't wait to leave. School was full of people I didn't like and will never like, some were alright, but 95% of everyone I didn't like, so I couldn't wait to get out of there, haha.

Walking home at 11 with four of my friends was fun, there was no one around, but this meant that everyone is the cars were giving us dirty looks as they went past, as they probably thought that we had left school when we weren't supposed to, but it was weird to think that I have been walking to and from school for five years and now I won't be.

Alton Towers and OOTD!

Hello lovelies! I would just like to apologize for the lack in posts at the minute, as I have lost my SD card for my camera so I haven't been able to take any pictures, I have a blog post lined up, I just need the SD card the camera.

Now that, that's out of the way let's talk about today, so today I have been to Alton Towers! I go Alton Towers quite a lot, as I live quite close with it being an half an hour drive and I normally have an annual pass which means that I can get in for free. This trip however was the first one of the year and for my friends birthday.

I assume a lot of you who are from Britain have heard of the new ride that's called The Smiler, that was supposed to be open sometime last week... well it isn't open yet and we were really looking forward to going on it, so that was a let down, however when I first got to the park I got a text from my brother asking if I was Alton Towers and when I replied saying yes he started saying that he was as well, but he was working on The Smiler, as he is a painter and decorator and the railings needed painting, so I spent a lot of the day texting my brother and then I went to see him which was lovely.

The only downside about today would be the weather. It has not stopped raining all day, in fact as I write this post it is still raining which is a bummer. We still managed to go on all of the rides that we wanted to though and we even managed to get on nemesis three times! 

OOTD - (Sorry for bad quality pictures)

As it started raining pretty much as soon as I left the house I had to keep my coat zipped up, as I realized that if my top got wet then I would of gone a little bit see through which it already is slightly. I also wore a pink jacket underneath the coat just for another layer, as I knew that if I didn't wear something under the coat then I would get soaked and be freezing because the t-shirt and the coat isn't enough to keep warm, as when you;re going to a theme park you don't dress to look good you dress for the weather (Well, I do anyway haha) I kept everything else simple with black leggings, grey socks with small frills and black converse.
