Since I wasn't home for my actual real proper birthday,
my friends organised a mini birthday celebration for me last weekend :)
It was entirely awesome, filled with Doctor Who/Pirate/Horse themed stuff (all my favourites!)
And my present was an AWESOME lifesize cardboard cut out of David Tenant as the Doctor :D
Literally the best present ever.

We also went out for a meal at Pizza Express, did lots of laughing, blew bubbles out of the window, got caught in the rain & generally had a really great time :)

gloucester cathedral ♥

a thousand million years ago, i posted this, about the city of gloucester, which is near where i live
i mentioned it's loooovely cathedral, & the fact that some scenes from harry potter were filmed there
a few of you asked to see more pictures &, rubbish blogger that i am, i haven't been able to provide them!
but, on sunday, i finally visited the cathedral (and spent far too long in there!) and managed to snap some photos for you
i had to do it secretly though, there were no cameras allowed that day! shhh!
but anyway, i hope you enjoy them.
i absolutely love this place -- it's so staggeringly beautiful, & it's no surprise to me at least that a few scenes in hogwarts castle were filmed here :)












(sorry this was so image heavy! ♥)

i've had this little tub of bubbles hanging about in my room for over a year
& i decided a few days ago that i might as well use them up! :)
it is really difficult to photograph bubbles though, my god.
& i only had half an hour to take these!
oh well, hope you like.
this is my new playsuit :)
it was £40 from topshop - £40 that i cannot afford to spend, really!
but i absolutely love it, & it's perfect for summer.
speaking of summer, the weather here has finally stopped being insanely hot! yay!
i'm going out for dinner tonight with my friends which should be lots of fun
& i'm going to wear my new red shoes!
i'll take lots of pictures, for sure.
what have you been up to this weekend? ♥

♥

helloooo :)
this is actually a 'what i wore' from yesterday, seeing as today i went to school
but yesterday i missed school due to a doctors appointment
& used the rest of the day to go shopping!
i spent a lot of money on a lot of unnecessary but lovely things
such as this hat! which you'll be seeing lots of this summer.
my purchases also included the most impractical (but also the most fierce) red shoes.
i'm sure i'll show you all soon :)
also, film recommendation --
i just finished watched imaginary heroes for the second time,
& am just as in love with it as ever.
it was made in 2004, but if you haven't seen it already, you MUST. it's amazing.
anyway! hope you're all alright.
what are you up to this weekend? i'm working! boooo! ♥

i bought this vintage Girl Guides dress at glastonbury for £5
i really love it :)
it makes me feel like i should be baking brownies or something, haha
today i taught some year 10 lessons on the BNP & political awareness
it was amazing how little they knew about politics!
& even more amazing that some of them didn't know what the holocaust was.
oh well, hopefully i've "enlightened" a few now, haha :D
it's been so hot here lately!
i don't really like it. it's the sticky kind of hot. booo :(
hope you're all having a great week
what did you get up to today? ♥

glastonbury! ♥

hellooooo :D
muddied, sunburnt, blistered & aching i return from glastonbury
as you might expect, i had an absolutely incredible time with my 2 best friends
we met lots of new people & i turned the grand old age of 17!
and yes, it probably was the best birthday ever :)
i was an incredible lucky girl because three of my favourite favourite favourites --
jason mraz, pete doherty & bon iver
-- were playing this year, & i got to see them all!
jason mraz was very exciting because i was stood right at the very front, directly opposite him
& the entire gig had such an amazing, feel-good vibe to it
at the end he sang 'every little thing is gonna be alright', & people were still singing it on the way out!
when bon iver played i was again right at the front, directly opposite him
& it was the best hour of my life, by far.
i had a tear in my eye the whole time, & when he played Re:Stacks, i wept like a baby! :)
it was absolutely phenomenal.
pete doherty was of course wonderful (other stage was a bit too big for him though, methinks)
& i also saw florence and the machine, regina spektor, the streets, black eyed peas, scott matthews & good old tom jones!











see how close we were?! very exciting!
i took lots & lots of pictures
but there aren't many of me -- or at least, not ones i'm willing to post here! haha!
as you might expect, i wasn't in the best state most of the time :D
so i don't have many pictures of what i wore, or what other people wore
but i can tell you that flower headbands were very popular indeed!
i usually just matched a dress with a pair of knee high socks and wellies
& i was much too busy having a good time to worry about what i looked like :)
let me know what you got up to this weekend!
i hope you all had a really time
i know i did :) ♥

♥

things continue to be hectic, busy & very surreal!
it feels sort of like i'm watching my life, rather than being in it?
oh, i don't know :)

i'm off to glastonbury now! all packed & excited, eeee.
i'll be sure to take lots of pictures, & normal posting will resume as soon as i get back :D

have a great weekend! ♥

oh, p.s! watch this video i made :D
i've been meaning to make something like this for a while
& am planning on making lots more soon!
