Midhurst

Over the Bank Holiday I went to visit my family in West Sussex for a few days. I don’t get down to see them nearly as much as I would like as it’s a three hour drive (yes three hours) from where I live in Suffolk. Once in Midhurst I drove direct to Emma’s house (my bestest friendContinueContinue reading “Midhurst”

We’re off to see the wizard

…or the man in the Visa office Last week I filled in the online forms to register for the Visa application process in order to get into India. Exciting! On the website it doesn’t really make it clear what to do once you’ve actually filled everything in, what to do with your passport and soContinueContinue reading “We’re off to see the wizard”

Holkham Bay

I went to the beach…and it was lovely! I met up with friends (Dave and Kat) and then took a leisurely drive up towards the coast, stopping of at Waitrose (how pleasant) for breakfast! We arrived at the Holkham Estate car park wandering what was going on: it was the first really proper sunny weekend and thereContinueContinue reading “Holkham Bay”

I got new hair

Soooo…a few weeks ago I decided to go for a change of barnet…and I had a few ideas (sort of pixie with a little sweeping fringe), hoping for a nice new look. I had been debating it for AGES…so I decided to just simply go for it and hope that I didn’t end up with a BadContinueContinue reading “I got new hair”

Bollywood Dance Evening

This week at Guides, we hired a lovely lady called Tina to come and teach us some Bollywood dance moves. It was a lovely evening. To begin with she had taken all of the girls names and written them in Punjabi, they then copied them out and were allowed to take them away with them.ContinueContinue reading “Bollywood Dance Evening”

Yay, I got my nose pierced

…and mum, if you’re reading this, I’m quite sorry… There I was in the chair, ready with a clamp up my nose and a piercer in front of me with a scary needle in her hand. Only then did the thought occur to me that “this is probably going to hurt”. The piercer had toContinueContinue reading “Yay, I got my nose pierced”

Where’s Wally…here she is!

Today I dressed like Where’s Wally…and enjoyed it! The Primary School in which I volunteer had a sponsored ‘readathon’ and all of the year groups (Early Years included) had to try and read as many books as possible…possibly trying to beat each other in the amount of books read…basically you would read a book and then onceContinueContinue reading “Where’s Wally…here she is!”

Am i turning into a witch?

This morning I was asked the funniest question…a little girl at school looked at me with big eyes and a strange look on her face, pointed at the big spot that has appeared on my chin and very quietly and with a little hint of worry in her voice asked, Are you turning into aContinueContinue reading “Am i turning into a witch?”

Early Years Fun

Today is an ‘Early Years’ day so i’m volunteering at the local Primary School in the Early Years department instead of teaching Resistant Materials and Technology the Upper School. It’s my ‘non-work’ day as i’m volunteering to help me get experience with the little kids and it doesn’t really feel like working. Early Years isContinueContinue reading “Early Years Fun”

Lomography Camera

What is Lomography I hear you cry…well Lomography is, according to the website: It began with a fateful encounter in the early 1990s, when two students in Vienna, Austria, stumbled upon the Lomo Kompakt Automat – a small, enigmatic Russian camera. Mindlessly taking shots from the hip, and sometimes looking through the viewfinder, they wereContinueContinue reading “Lomography Camera”
