Camp Sharkie 2015

The last weekend of April saw the first Camp Sharkie event! Basically a bunch of Black Milk fans heading to Centerparcs at Longleat for a weekend. I was unsure of attending at first, but since Longleat is only down the road for me I figured I should go anyway!


Off to the woods we went! I arrived at around 3pm on Friday.


Since there were over 70 of us, we were split into a fair few lodges. The main lodge was huuuuuge with a hot tub & stuff. We (the Hell Yeah Hammerheads) drew the short straw and had the one lodge that was really far away from everything. It was cute though, as you can see!


And being far out meant that we got to use the land train!


May have had a bit too much to drink at the meet in the evening. I don't even remember this being taken...


On Saturday afternoon we had a cheeky squirrel put its paws on our window, so we gave it Doritos!


There was a big buy/sell/swap event in the afternoon. I somehow managed to not buy anything, but sold a few pieces I never wear (already regret parting with my Wallpaper Princess Pink Evil Zip Dress. I didn't feel pink suited me but had people all weekend saying it did! So will be hoping to rebuy it eventually *cries*).


Gift exchange! So pleased with my cross-stitch stuff & cute accessories.


Then we had galaxy-theme photos!


My fellow Hammerheads ♥


In the evening there were more drinks, but after spending most of the day hungover I passed. Instead I went back to the lodge alone to make sweet potato fries and watch Super Sonico, which I think was a wise choice! I did miss playing pass the parcel with 70 people though, which was a shame.


Sunday morning I was finally on track with an early-morning run! I had planned to do that every day but failed. It was mostly a walk as I'm really unfit, and I felt a little embarrassed as there were tons of decent joggers out haha.


Then I undid any good work by going to the Pancake House with some of my housies. I felt a little sick afterward but it was SO WORTH IT.


The pool party was in the afternoon. I tired rather quickly of swimming since there was no laned pool (dumb people getting in the way everywhere so I couldn't swim. Or the wave machine would drown me), so I got a fruit cider and a meatless dog instead of staying in!


Looks like everyone else had fun though!


I was quite happy watching Labyrinth for the 100000000000th time.


Cutie fish in the Village on the way back.


We had a quiet(-ish) movie night in the evening, with Mean Girls & popcorn & onesies galore!


Monday morning was another early start, but I plumped for a power-walk rather than failing at a run again. This was Cascades.


Nice of the weather to improve when we were all about to leave!


SHARKBOAT HOO HAH HAH.


QUACK

Unfortunately we had to be out of accommodation by 10am, so I left pretty early. I would definitely go to another even like this though. Really missing all the Sharkie babes now =[

Missing the Sun

The past few weeks have been really Summery and sunny, but now it's rainy and horrible again! So I figured I'd write about the things I did when the weather was nice to try and forget about how gross it is outside right now.

Since I live very close to the lake, I've been a few times recently.


I fed the ducks with my family on one day and had a picnic.


The next day I went back with Rob, but we had a cream tea too!

I've also been to Longleat again.


This time we walked through the lemur enclosure and there was a baby lemur!


We also encountered a very nosy ostrich in the safari section. I think it mistook me for a bird as I was wearing a cap.


The lions were also enjoying the sun! Did you hear on the news recently about the family whose car caught fire in the lion enclosure here?

Last week it was super nice and we had a craving for the sea, so we went to Weymouth for the afternoon.


We bought drinks & sushi on the way there, and I also made yummy ploughman's rolls for each of us!


My jellies rub, which is a shame as they're adorable.


I have a feeling that Rob doesn't like having his photo taken haha.


The sand was so lovely between my toes! We just read our books and sunbathed and ate ice cream. I wish we lived by the sea so we could do it all the time.


Bikini selfie before washing off all the sand. I managed to miss a few spots with sun cream so I had pink spots on my back! Also thinking about getting my belly button pierced, but not sure my belly is flat enough.

How have you been enjoying Summer so far? We've also had a bunch of barbecues but I'm not that big a fan of them anymore since dieting became a thing!

Catch-Up - Sorry I've been rubbish!

I've been so busy recently with work and being tired and just in general not having enough time! I've been neglecting my blog a little, and completely neglecting my YouTube channel as filming videos takes too much effort. I really need to stop procrastinating! I'm sorry!

I figure I'll post a few random photos that were on my phone (my camera is out of batteries which is part of the reason I've not been good with my blogging).

My family have Longleat annual passes, so we go really often! Our visit tied in the Black Milk Photo A Day challenge day that was 'with an animal' so I got photos with the cuties!


I love red/lesser pandas!


They look so soft and snuggly, but they always seem really sad =[


Selfie with penguins, awh yiss.


Beautiful house. I'd love to do a lolita meet here, but entry is too expensive and you need to be able to drive, which sucks.

We also had a short trip to Weston-Super-Mare.


It was 'bracing'.


We ate chips and then went back home haha.

That's all for now! I have a few little hauls to post, and I'm hoping to start getting back into YouTube-ing soon too as it's been too long.

Zoo & Safari?!

On Saturday was the annual South West zoo meet! This is the first year I've not been on holiday for it, so I was finally able to attend ♥


We went to Bristol zoo and saw some supercute animals!


The red panda was my favourite.


We had a delicious picnic!


The cupcakes matched my skirt!


Sadly it starting showering heavily afterwards so the animal show we were going to watch was cut short and we all got SOAKED.


Hati had the most epic headpiece I've ever seen!


I wore a casual sweet coord with Whip Magic (and a Jimmy Eat World tee just because I love them). My hair is actually in ponytails, but you can't really tell as it's so long and flat and ergh Dx I had to wear casual as I've been having problems with my feet and my bad leg, so trainers were needed!


Awesome bird statue on the world of water.


Odd little bug that turned to look at me when I pointed my camera at it! What a camwhore.

And what excited us a lot...


Dinosaurs!




ERMAHGERDERSERERS!

I was so tired when I got home, but it was a really fun day and I got to make new friends too \(^u^)/

On Sunday I went to Longleat with my family for a few hours (we have season passes!).


Cool hedge lion thing!


Butterfly that took a shine to my brother.


Leaf butterfly.

We also saw an epic birds of prey display where we literally had to duck to avoid being hit by the owls, vultures, and caracara that flew over us! Was so awesome, although a bit uncomfortable.

So now I'm pretty tired and all animal-ed out!
