{ADVENTURE AWAITS//VISITING FRIENDS}

Whilst many of my friends packed up their bags and headed to university last September , there was a couple of us that were left at home in a seemingly, all of a sudden very quiet town. Now, I’m not gonna complain because I am a lover of home comforts and lazy days but being a bit of a social butterfly, I must admit I’m going slightly deranged being away from all my bestest friends stuck in the quiet old town of Tunbridge Wells. Luckily, my best friend Jo has been my absolute saviour and when we can, we get together and laugh for hours, be it at the gym, the pub, the restaurant or having a duvet day at home. But alas, the end is nigh and we are both finishing our final terms in a matter of a few weeks, meaning only one thing - ROAD TRIP. So the plan is to reclaim back all those nights out that we missed out on over the year with our chumettes by visiting them all at university! It’ll be the best way to welcome in the summer and celebrate FREEDOM. Let the journey begin, adventure awaits!….in two weeks.

{100 DAYS TO THE OLYMPICS}

So today they announced that there was only one hundred days until the grand Olympics arrive in London town and frankly, I am down right excited. Fortunately, I was one of the lucky ones to receive a ticket to the event, winning tickets to Men’s Semi Final Diving which I can’t wait for. I used to dive a fair amount when I was younger so it’ll be amazing to see the pros at work and fingers crossed see the cutie that is Tom Daley. It will be incredible to see the Olympic village too, and see all the hard work they’ve been putting in for the Olympics. I know some people are pretty negative about the Olympics, and a recent study on the radio said the further away from London people are, the less excited they are about it, but I think its a real privilege. I feel over the past couple of years, I’ve really become proud to be british, and I think a whole part of this is how we club together and act as a real community when events come around the corner, be it Royal Weddings, Jubilees or the Olympics. It makes people get together in celebration of being British, celebrating all that is great about our powerful little country and all that it has to offer. People can moan this and that about Britain, but at the end of the day I wouldn’t have it any other way. Fair enough, rain, drizzle and cold do dominate the British weather scene quite a bit but really, I quite like it. Of course I love the sun, but I think if it was as boiling hot as on holiday, we’d still be complaining all the time! It’s an infamous British trait and always will be. So all in all, I am thrilled the Olympics is heading our way so soon and I am more than ready to get in the spirit of it all and celebrate our country, the beautiful and brilliant old Blighty.

{NEW FAVOURITE CAFE//FINCH HOUSE}

Today I went to meet up with some friends for coffee before everyone starts to go their separate way, heading back to universities all over the country. So instead of going for the usual Caffe Nero, we decided to try out this new place near where we live called ‘Finch House’. It hasn’t been there long at all and it looked so lovely from the outside and inside too. We bagged ourselves a window seat and I began the long process of deciding what to have. Being a pretty indecisive person, I’d say it took me a good ten minutes to decide. Yes, you heard right, ten minutes. But oh was the long decision time worth it, I decided on a little Steak and Ale Pie which was absolutely delish. Others had a hot chocolate and a Banana and Malteaser milkshake which both tasted divine also. Overall it was a lovely little place, somewhere which was a bit different to the norm which was nice. I will definitely be returning there for future coffees and catch ups.
