Menorca 2016

What a busy couple of months! There's a lot to catch up on, most importantly - my holiday!

I went to Menorca with my family, we stayed in a villa at the top of a steep hill - the views were beautiful. Walking up to the villa was hard work, especially with all the shopping! I think this was the first holiday I lost weight by the end of it - not a bad thing! We did so much swimming, walking, lounging and sunning ourselves. Also bought ourselves snorkels, so we could check out the fish off the beach. It was so much fun!

The best part of the holiday has to be spending a morning doing something I never thought I would do. I went scuba diving...in the sea. From the beach. It was...terrifying and amazing all at once. I was not very good at staying the right way up, or with staying at the right depth. Our diving instructor took me by the hand to help me stay in the right place and not be left drifting behind. I was really grateful for his help. Once I wasn't worried about rolling over/drowning/my head exploding, I was able to look around and enjoy seeing the ocean wildlife. It was so surreal, and incredible. I can't get over how bizarre and beautiful it was. There was one moment, when we heard this loud noise coming from all round us, we had no idea what it was until we saw the underside of a speedboat going overhead...eerie.

We all had a wonderful time, it was really relaxing and I'm so glad to have been able to get away!

A weekend away

Good eveningggg

The weekend of the 23rd Feb me and my family drove down to Newquay, Cornwall. For those who don't know, (or those who have been living under a rock sheltering from the storms)  Cornwall was hit quite badly with the stormy weather. We got to see some of the damage firsthand as we explored the shoreline.

The first night we drove out to the headland, and watched the Atlantic smash against the cliffs. What a sight. It was dark, and the waves looked really dramatic. It soon started to rain, so we scurried back to the car and went back to our hotel. The next morning (Saturday) we originally wanted to go for a long beach walk, however due to the tide being in at 9am that wasn't really an option anymore. Unless we went at 3am when the tide was out... so instead, we went back out to the headland and explored there instead. We also went down to towan beach layer in the morning and saw some of the storm damage. Incedentaly, the headland hotel is located here on the clifftop, this is where Roald Dahl's The Witches was filmed. (You know the one, ugly ladies and children being turned into mice). You can see it in a couple of my pics. 

Later that day we visited my aunt and uncle, whom I hadn't seen for a very long time. This was a lovely way to spend the weekend, and we headed home on Sunday. However, the parentals were kind enough to drop me of at HARRY POTTER STUDIOS on the way back. I will write about this shortly! For now, here's some pics to enjoy.
