Favourite places

All of these places hold amazing memories and will always be special to me.

My secondary school – Everyone says “it’s the best time of your life!” and you never believe it when you’re there, but it’s soooooo true. I have so many memories from school and friends for life. I love going back on open day or my brother parents evening – seeing old teachers and having a good ol’ chat with them, seeing how the school has changed. The last few weeks of school were the best, dress-up day, prom, geek day, water fights. It was just the best, I love my old school. Although you hate it when you’re there, weirdly, you will miss it once you leave!

Nelson’s Column – Every time my friend Charlotte and I are on our own in London we go and sit on Nelson’s Column looking towards Big Ben. We sat there for ages the first time we met and now every chance we get to, we do and can literally spend ages just sitting there. We’ve had so many nice moments up there, laughing till it hurts, planning things we WILL do at some point (NY, tattoos, Dollywood),  stuffing our faces, deep chats, pointless chats J It’s such a good view too, it always reminds me why I love London so much. 

Kosova - It’s one of my favourite places because it literally changed my life – I know it sounds cheesy and over-dramatic, but it’s true. I made some incredible friends out there, got closer to someone I’ve known for years and we made some of the best memories I have. – It was literally the best two weeks of my life, but also the most heart-breaking and eye-opening. I saw a lot of things that really upset me and met some amazing people who have been through things you can’t even begin to imagine. I’m glad I got the chance to go there and help these people – it holds a very special place in my heart and I have every intention of returning at some point.

Theatre Royal Haymarket and the Savoy Theatre – I’m not ashamed to admit that three of the most awesome girls I know, I met through Twitter and we met up on 19 May 2011 at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. I already have some of the most amazing memories with these girls, and I know there are so much more to come. We’re so alike, we always have a laugh and get on so well, they probably know me better than any of my other mates.  I feel like I’ve known them forever – don’t know what I did without them tbh. Lucy, Amelia, Charlotte, I love you guys. I just have so many fab memories from TRH. The Savoy Theatre also holds some of the best memories – MUFFY, “doing the dirty” (not as bad as it sounds), dayseating – too many to even mention.

Great Yarmouth – My family go here every Easter, since before I was born. All of my Mum’s side – Gran, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, bridge Cousins, bridge Aunts & Uncles and bridge Grandparents and family friends, just LOADS of us. We ALWAYS win the champagne for ‘noisiest’ table. There are always the same friendly faces there and I just love it. There’s Louis the Lion, twin-spin disco, bingo, fancy-dress, talent contest, mini golf, family games, the freezing beach- so much! I can’t even explain how much I enjoy it, just spending time with all the family – we’re so close, but don’t get to spend that much time together so holidays like this are just the best. We always have a friggin’ awesome time. I’d pick Great Yarmouth over a hot summer holiday any day!

My House – “I can’t wait to move to London” – I say this all the time, but I know I’d really miss our village! Everyone pretty much knows everyone, here. Old ladies always stop and chat to you, people are always asking how you are and you know that if/when you need your neighbours they’ll be there for you – which I think is quite rare to find these days. But my favourite thing about where we live is the fact that you can always see the stars, you don’t get that in the city! There are a lot of people down our road that are similar ages and we sorta grew up together, playing in the fields and climbing trees, making snowmen together, bike rides, football, quad biking. I love our little ‘village’, it’s pretty awesome!
