Cornwall Camping

In case you hadn't guessed by the title, this post is going to be about my fairly recent camping trip to Cornwall. We went on the first two weeks of the summer holidays, which is what we do every year. This time, we went back to the same campsite as we did last year which meant that we already knew people down there.

We spent many days at the beach in the first week as the weather was lovely (around 28 degrees celcius!) Most days I'd get my wetsuit on and go in the sea which was always fun, but I also enjoyed just sitting and relaxing on the sand, some of the time! On the days which weren't as sunny, we would visit towns like Padstow, and Truro. I enjoyed these days too as it gave us a break from the beach and it was nice for a change. Plus, who doesn't like shopping!? 

Overall, it was a lovely holiday and I can't wait for next year! It's always horrible to leave especially when we had made such good friends there aswell! We stayed at a campsite called 'Music Water' which is in Wadebridge, Padstow. So, if any of you are looking for a good campsite in Cornwall surrounded by lovely beaches and towns, then this will be the one for you! I shall leave the link to the website here, I hope you all had a good summer and enjoyed any holidays you went on, weather they were in this country or abroad! 

Speak soon!xx

Turning 17!

Firstly, I should probably apologise for the extremely long break from this blog that I've had. There's no excuse really, other than the fact that I was never in the mood or just didn't have the time. My summer was lovely though and I'm sure I can think of lots of blog posts to update you with what I've been doing! Thanks for not unfollowing me and I hope you've all had a good summer break!

As you've probably guessed, I turned 17 recently! Yes my birthday was, in fact, on the 3rd of September. Time has honestly flown by and I can't believe I'm 17 already. I remember being about 13 and thinking 17 was oh so grown up, but I certainly don't feel that way now! I'm actually one of the oldest in my school year as if I was born 3 days earlier I would actually be in my second year at college now, rather than my first. (Interesting fact there for you!!)

My day wasn't all that exciting if I'm honest with you. It was my first day at sixth form so I had to walk all the way there and endure meeting lots of new people by myself! I'm not going to lie, it was extremely nerve racking but it has to be done. Thankfully I was only in for about 2 hours so I was home by midday. I then sat at home for a few hours on my own watching TV and having some lunch (fun, right!?) Afterwards, my two best friends came round to give me my present and give me some company which was lovely! They wanted me to wait till later to open my present but when I did I was an extremely happy girl! They gave me things for a movie night in, things for a pamper evening and other items such as a nail varnish, a make-up brush and a Yankee candle! I was so happy and it's scary how well they know me! You may well see some of the items in future posts! 

Later, they went home and I was off out to a job interview! I can honestly say I have never been that nervous in my life. It was my first ever job interview and I felt like I would throw up at any minute! Thankfully I didn't and when I made it there I managed to make quite a few friends. Also, I saw my friend Maddie was sat around the table and so that helped me feel much more at ease! The interview was surprisingly quite fun and when I finally got out at 6:30 I felt satisfied. Unfortunately, I didn't get the job, but the experience  was useful, nevertheless! 

When I finally got home, my tea was waiting for me! I had decided to have BBQ chicken and chips, which was lovely (Thanks Mum!) Finally I was able to open my presents and cards. I mostly received money-some of which I put towards driving lessons (eeeep!) Other than that, I got a few bits and bobs like a Starbucks gift card, photo frame, mug, nail varnish etc, etc! All of which I was very thankful for! By that point I was shattered and decided to watch a bit of TV then go to bed, ready for my full day at college! I did have a good birthday though, even if I did do some nerve racking things. Lets hope that next year is a bit more stress-free!

Thanks for reading and still being here after all this time! I guess I'll see you next time!xx
