Things I did this summer.

Before summer started, I made a list of #20thingstodothissummer, I only managed about ten of them since I found myself preoccupied with work, but the ones I did manage I enjoyed. Summer's nearly over, so before summers over here are three more. 

#4 WALK UP BREAN DOWN. There is quite a big cliff? If that's what you would call it, where I am going on holiday. The first time I climbed it, I was too scared to enjoy it (i hate heights). So I want to do it again. 

The view from the top, I made it! We ended up walking the whole thing and I only got a little scared once, it was a very rewarding experience!
#5 WATER FIGHT. A little water never hurt no one, it's just really fun to soak people, and I have no idea why.

We had a few water fights this summer using the hose, each were so fun and left us soaked. One time I also ended up ruining my fake tan, that was not so great...

#7 PICNIC AT THE BEACH. Food, sea, and sand. All the best things in one!  

Not so much of a picnic, but we enjoyed chips on the beach one evening, they were delicious, the sunset was amazing. Afterwards we gave the seagulls the chips we didn't eat and they chased Abbie down for them, it was crazy, and I have never laughed so hard in my life. 
#13 RUN 3 MILES. It took me like 6/7 minutes to run a mile, three can't be that hard. (Fingers crossed.)

I didn't run anywhere, but I did walk 14 miles so I'm counting that. We walked to Brean Down and then we walked to the fort and back, it was a day filled with walking and chocolate brownies. Way better than any running. The man in the picture? I have no idea who he is, but after I took this we walked all the way down there and further.

More to come! Sushi, lemonade and a flipagram. Exciting stuff.

We had a bbq? #20thingstodothissummer

I wrote a post, inspired by one of my favourite youtubers, listing 20 things I wanted to do this summer.

#2 BARBECUES. They are perfect, I may be having one for my birthday, which will be fun! Barbecues are a time for good food, good people, and (hopefully) good weather!

I love barbecue food, it just makes summer. If summer were a food it would barbecued, if winter were a food it would be stewed. I don't make the rules.

It was my first time trying peppers, I didn't like them, they just weren't my thing. We had sausages, burgers, corn on the cob and salad. Always gotta have salad. I don't think I could ever be a vegetarian, I don't know how anyone is. I get the whole animal killing thing, but have you ever tasted a burger! I'm hungry now... Burgers and corn on the cob covered in melted butter. The only thing that would make it better is cider. Barbecued food and cider. I just drooled all over my keyboard.

I got a job? #20thingstodothissummer


I thought this was so funny


#9 GET A JOB. For the dollar, dollar bills.


It's true, I finally got a job. In my new years resolutions post and number nine in my 20 things to do this summer list, I said I wanted to get a job, and it finally happened. I had the interview, trial shift and orientation before I turned sixteen and then a few days after I did my first shift. It was kind of scary, because it's my first job but six shifts in I'm enjoying it. Putting enjoying it lightly... I basically do any cleaning and help customers at McDonalds, which means I get to eat my favourite food every time I do a shift. It's so tiring, and I have to do the washing up (and there's a lot surprisingly) which always gets me soaked because of the spray thing (such technical terms), and I have to take food out to cars and it was raining yesterday! But I'll quit complaining because it's a job at least, and I'm earning more than my sister does at KFC! The people there are so welcoming and nice, I've made 2 really close friends already, and the rest of the people are so nice that I'm really exciting to be working with them.

I'm so glad to finally have a job, it's payday Thursday so that means shoppingg...

20 Things To Do This Summer


Ahhh. Summer is here! PointlessBlog made a video saying he had twenty five things he wanted to do this summer, and he's going to document them all in a little book. We all know from this,and this post that I am a summerholic, so I made a list of twenty I would love to do this summer, since it's gonna be a long one (two and a half months!), and I'm going to document them in a journal full of details and photos, and on the blog of course! I need to start filling my Cath Kidston scrap book so I'm super excited to get going!
  1. CONCERTS! This is key for the perfect summer, I went to one a few days ago but I'm not counting that, because the more the better! I think, I'm going to buy tickets to see some really cute guys with a few new friends I made at Sunday's concert. So look forward to that! 
  2. BARBECUES. They are perfect, I may be having one for my birthday, which will be fun! Barbecues are a time for good food, good people, and (hopefully) good weather!
  3. TAKE A RUN ON THE BEACH IN THE EARLY AM. I really want to do this when I go on holiday, a change of scenery will be perfect, and I really just want to watch the sunrise at the same time.
  4. WALK UP BREAN DOWN. There is quite a big cliff? If that's what you would call it, where I am going on holiday. The first time I climbed it, I was too scared to enjoy it (i hate heights). So I want to do it again. 
  5. WATER FIGHT. A little water never hurt no one, it's just really fun to soak people, and I have no idea why.
  6. BUILD A FORT, EAT SWEETS AND WATCH MOVIES. So tumblr...
  7. PICNIC AT THE BEACH. Food, sea, and sand. All the best things in one! 
  8. SEE A PLAY AT A THEATER. I live near Stratford (if you even know where that is), and it's the birthplace of Shakespeare. They usually show plays in theaters there, and I would really love to see one.
  9. GET A JOB. For the dollar, dollar bills.
  10. GO CAMPING. I am a happy camper, everything about it is exciting to me.
  11. DO SOME LATE NIGHT BOWLING. Bowling is fun, late night bowling when it's lit up and there's no kids, is so much funner.
  12. SPA DAY. Because a girl needs to look after herself, right! 
  13. RUN 3 MILES. It took me like 6/7 minutes to run a mile, three can't be that hard. (Fingers crossed.)
  14. MAKE LEMONADE. So pinterest...
  15. READ A BOOK FRONT TO BACK IN ONE SITTING. I've done this before, but there's one in particular I want to read.
  16. NURTURE A PLANT. I'm starting college soon, I am practically an adult! So I want to try my responsibilities. 
  17. TRY SUSHI. I have no idea why I want to do this so bad, food on a conveyor belt just seems cool. And who's never tried sushi before anyway, just me?
  18. TAKE A PICTURE EVERYDAY AND MAKE A FLIPAGRAM AT THE  END. So Instagram...
  19. TIE DIE SOME OLD SHIRTS. Because how freaking cool would that be!
  20. READ GOSSIP MAGAZINES WHILE LAYING OUT. Because who wouldn't enjoy this? Grab a deck chair while I am at the pool, and chill, with the gossip.
