.Road Trip, Day four: Country Cottage and...

Our last day was so lovely! We drove from Dartmouth onto our last destination, but stopped off to visit the boyfriend’s grandma on the way. She was staying in a country cottage for the week as a holiday for her and all the family came up on different days to stay with her. As it was on our way, we stopped in too! We brought cream tea for everyone and had a look round the place. There were...

.Road Trip, Day three: Bigbury on Sea & Dartmouth.

Our road trip hoodies have been rendered quite useless recently, the suns been shining and the shorts have been out! Yesterday we travelled to Bigbury on Sea to have a look at the art deco hotel and frollick around on the beach! We had some local cider, stroked some doggies and made footprints in the sand! Then we drove on to Dartmouth along some lovely scenic roads and went off to find a...

.Road Trip, Day two: St Ives & Falmouth.

Yesterday we left a drizzly Newquay for a quick trip to St Ives where the weather turned out to be a bit nicer! Our main place to visit was Falmouth though, so we drove onto there after having a quick mooch round St Ives. Falmouth’s a lovely little place, full of little shops and pubs. We parked up at our cutesy b+b and wandered down to the port for a drink by the sailing boats. We really...

.Road Trip, Day one: Padstow & Newquay.

We started out at 6am yesterday morning for the first leg of our road trip feeling rather sleepy and excited! Driving along with awesome songs and a couple of games of I Spy we stopped at Weston-Super-Mare for a full english breakfast and a well deserved cup of tea! After chowing down, we wasted no time driving a bit further to Padstow where the sun was out in full force and we were practically...

We got the hoodies back today, and the printing lady did a really good job! Because we had so little time they had to be all in black ink but I think I prefer that to the red parts we had on there before, so it’s all good! Need to figure out what to wear and pack tomorrow! I’m thinking about saving all my nice clothes for France and just taking an array of tshirts and jeans for the...

.It's your birthday....have some free stuff!.

I went out to a gorgeous curry house last night with the boyfriend and his family to celebrate him getting one year older! We’d never been to this one before but i was so impressed! The food was delicious and the restaurant itself was so so pretty. Will definitely go there again sometime soon. It got to the end of the meal and the waiter brought over 6 little square bowls with a sweet...

I’ve been looking for a film that made me walk out of the cinema speechless ever since i saw Lucky Number Sleven. Inception was it. I can’t even begin to explain the storyline and do it justice, so i wont bother. What you get from the trailer is all the knowledge you should go into the cinema with to see this film. I honestly couldn’t fault any of the performances and the...

.Bring on the snails and wine!.

So i’m off to the south of france in 11 days time with the boyfriend and his family!!! I’m SO excited! Whenever we go to france the week is always filled with amazing food and even better wine in ample quantity. And the villas we stay in are so lovely and quaint! I’m definitely on the hunt for some moules mariniere and garlic butter snails again! French food is absolutely...

Just spent a lovely evening catching up with aunties and uncles i haven’t seen in way too long, it was really great. Got to explain what i’d been up to and find out what was going on in their lives too. My cousins have grown up so quickly it’s scary! Aunty D was admiring my lovelinks and i explained i was buying a bead tomorrow with the money i won on my bonus bonds (‘from...

.Jamie Oliver would be proud.

I noticed there were some king prawns in the fridge that needed eating so decided to make one of my favourite pasta dishes for dinner tonight! I’ll post the link to the recipe below, you have to try it out! I added a pinch of chilli and a bit more garlic to mine and it was amazing!!! Mum and dad even came downstairs to see what the smell was and ask if there was enough for them, but...

To show you all how much i appreciate you reading/recommending/following my blog, i’m going to pick a follower each week to be my favourite! :) This week:: crazysexydiva A huge THANK YOU to every one of my new and old followers! You’re awesome! ♥ xax

.Seeing as the sun's gone away, hoodies are...

The summer seems to have buggered off so we’ve decided to have hoodies printed for our road trip! Will need something to keep the rain and wind away while building sandcastles on the beach! So me and the bf have cracked open photoshop and made us all some awesome designs! Fingers crossed it doesn’t cost too much to print them and we can pull this off! xax

.I've tried counting sheep, now what.

Having a major bout of insomnia tonight for some reason. I was falling asleep at my laptop about 2hours ago, yet as soon as I clamber into bed I’m wide awake! Well done brain, thanks for that. I really love sleep, especially dreams. I have such vivid dreams, they’re like little films or episodes each night and its great being able to remember them when you wake up. I really enjoy...

.Birthday pressies are go!.

Brought the boyfriend’s birthday present today ready for his birthday next week! Fingers crossed he likes it! I love birthdays, it’s so fun picking presents for people and watching there face when they open it! He’s also got the cutest birthday card EVER!!! :D Need to wrap and hide everything now, he’s a little monster for finding presents before the day! In other...

.♥. Tumblr Tuesday .♥.

This weeks recommendation from me goes to: http://theweeone.tumblr.com/ It’s an adorable blog from an adorable young lady, check it out ♥ xax

.Betty Crocker can sod right off.

Just made some ‘cakes’ from the mysterious Betty Crocker mix in the bf’s cupboard. No idea why it was there, we always bake cakes properly if we do them, but we had no sugar so had to cheat. I can honestly say they were the worst cakes i’ve ever tasted! lol! There really is NO point in ‘baking’ if your going to use a ready made mix! The mothers from the Betty...

.Road Trip = Booked.

Three out of four hotels have been booked for our road trip at the end of the month! As for the fourth, we’re having a bit of an adventure and just attempting to find one on the day! Could end up camping on the beach if it all goes tits up! Just one problem, the boyfriend sold his car last week so he has two weeks to find a new one otherwise Patrick the polo may have to step up to the mark...

.I want a psychic octopus. →

I thought Eclipse was really amazing! The Twilight films are definitely getting better and better. It’s probably because i couldn’t remember a lot of what happened in the book but i really felt the director did a fantastic job. A brilliant balance between the love triangle of Bella, Edward and Jacob and lots of action scenes with both the vampires and the werewolves. I think even the...

Just done sports day with the little ones and it was absolutely ADORABLE!!! Found myself getting far too competitive cheering on a bunch of 6 and 7 year olds! The dad’s race was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen though! They tried harder than the kids to cross that finish line first with all the little ones on the sidelines shouting ‘COME ON DADDY!!!’ :D I think...

.Bring on Eclipse.

Had a geeky vampirefest with the bffs last night and watched Twilight and New Moon again ready for Eclipse! We pretty much just sat picking out the awful acting and annoying extras in Twilight and appreciating the awesome soundtrack in New Moon. Conclusion, New Moon was a HUGE improvement on Twilight, so Eclipse should be even better! Helen told us about about a Twilight spoof she’s reading...

i just wanted you to know.

.I need to be banned from Topshop when i'm this...

Went for coffee and shopping with the bffs today. Wandered into Topshop for a browse and walked out with a £40 pair of hareem trousers. They’re awesome, but now my bank balance hates me. I’ve put a lot of money into savings this month for the boyfriend’s birthday coming up and the road trip which has left me super broke! And to add insult to injury, one of my lovelinks beads...

.Tumblr Tuesday.

If you have a spare vote today you should check out my friend Jason’s blog here and recommend him! He just got a DSLR and likes to post his pictures around the internet for people to see! As for my vote today, just ‘like’ this post and i’ll pick someone from the list to recommend before i go to bed later ♥ Happy tumblring everyone! *edit* i-need-to-calm-down...

.Got some guns now.

I spent the day helping the boyfriend paint one of the houses he’s developing today! It was so fun, but really hard work. 7 hours pushing a roller back and forth across walls and ceilings is great for busting bingo wings! I think if i did that for a living i’d be looking like Hulk Hogan within a week! I did get completely covered in paint though…good job i was wearing my crappy...

these-empty-fairytales asked: Hi there! My name is Pearl and I was hoping you could enlighten me on some advice about dslrs and their lenses. I'm thinking about getting a dSLR in September; it's going to be my first one. I have my eyes all set on the Canon Rebel T1i, but I'm on a budget so I don't know whether to get the kit lens or the 50mm f/1.8 II (I really want this lens too and a couple of people...

.Should have brought my book.

So I’m sat in the top stockroom at work in front of a fan with nothing to pick. Making some very easy money this morning, its great! Would rather be bombing around in my new little beast though! The bf is insured on it for 7 days through VW, so I’m sure he’ll be sneakily driving it round while I’m at work! Might have to take it out for a spin when I get home before i go...

Anonymous asked: Hello Amelia!

You look fabulous in your newest LookBook picture! I checked the other pictures as well and I believe Zoo Day is my favourite! That dress is simply way cute and it looks flattering on your figure =)

One question, though: what is your height? Because, I find that you have this toned, long legs which look really good in short skirts.

no-named-hero asked: Oh, if you have an iPhone (judging from your last post) download "Talking Tom" He's an awesome little cat that repeats what you say. Do it! You know you want to! :D
