An Evening Kayaking

The other evening my boyfriend and I went to a local canal to kayak. It was only my second time kayaking, and I'll be honest, the first time was a complete disaster!
We kayaked for about an hour which was lovely in the evening sun. There were lots of fishermen out and we even saw a swan who came up very close to our boats!
Have you ever been kayaking?

Festival Vibes

Last weekend I was a 'helper' at a local festival. We were very lucky to be bathing (not literally) in sunshine all weekend and as expected thousands turned out to listen to the music and kick start the Summer!
There were lots of stalls including face painting, a bug tent (where scorpions and snakes were all shown - eek), a bar, bouncy castles and lots of stages and tents too.
I had a really good time with my boyfriend and friends and it was nice to enjoy the atmosphere but also work and help as well as I got the best of both world's!
Have you ever been to a festival?

A Successful Fishing Trip!

Last week my Dad and I went to the South Coast to do a bit of sea fishing! I have done lots of coarse fishing since I was quite young and actually really enjoy it! Here are a few photos from the day, including our two fish we caught! They were Mackerel fish and we bought them home for Mum to eat for tea!

I had a lovely day and I was so happy to have caught two fish! I also loved the weather and watching the sun go down on the beach is just so pretty especially when you see all the shadows in the footprints. 

Until next time chums!

End of Summer Playlist

I did a 'Summer Playlist' at the start of Summer so thought it would be cool to share with you what songs I was loving and listening to over Summer, as (sadly) Summer is coming to an end.
LOVE this, it's just so catchy!
I know these guys aren't everyone's cup of tea but I really like this song!
Again I know, not everyone's cup of tea! I loved their audition and have listened to this on repeat for weeks!
Such a catchy song 
I have no idea why!
The music in this is incredible!
Love this!

I know that most of these songs aren't actually that recent but that's just what I've been listening to...on repeat...for days on end...until I know longer like the song or get bored of it haha!

Give them a listen if you haven't already!

A Day Out At The Seaside!

The other day I went out to Sidmouth in Devon, it was quite a nice day when we woke up but after driving for a while the weather decided to turn on us...
British rainy weather whilst driving
Typical British weather!
By the time we actually got there it was lunch time so we headed to a fish and chip shop we'd been to before and bought ourselves mini fish and chips! The fish bits are like little nuggets of fish and taste really nice!

Deckchairs at Sidmouth
Love these colourful deck chairs they have there
After eating we decided to walk off our lunch a bit and walked along the beach which was really nice because the sun was out and shining making the water glisten. We even saw a fisherman (who was fishing from the beach) catch a fish!

We walked round the town for a bit and I managed to buy myself seven postcards (I have a bit of an obsession - expect a post on it soon!) and some things from New Look.
Loving monochrome leggings at the moment
We then went round Connaught Gardens which I love doing as it's high up so you get a great view and there's always nice flowers up there too!

Reminded me of Narnia!

Just before we went back home I decided to buy Calippo Shots to cool me down...little did I know I wouldn't be able to taste any of it until it all turned to slush and could actually slide out of the plastic gap!
Hope you enjoyed reading about my little adventure and HERE's a link for the leggings if anyone is interested.
