without you its a waste of time
i’ll be the first to say 2010 has been an amazing year for me, i’ve made some best friends i know i’ll be close to for the rest of my life, no matter how many miles away they are in reality, i’ve travelled to amazing places and experienced things i never thought i would.
i was all for staying in England when i first arrived, not thinking i had that much of an attachment...
if i die young
bury me in satin
lay me down on a bed of roses
sink me in the river at dawn
send me away with the words of a love song

“2011 + flatting with Charli Prangley = can’t wait :D”
Tic Tac Toe
Amsterdam, Holland
7/8- 11-8
Arriving in Stanstead at midnight, I camped out in the airport for 5 hours, until I could check in for my flight to Holland. The flight there only took around 40 minutes, and before I knew it, I was there! Soon after my flight, Scott, my friend from Nelson who is doing a gap year at an Outdoor education centre in Scotland, also arrived in Amsterdam, and we set off...
Under Construction
Pisa, Florence, Sienna + Venice, Italy
28/7- 6/8
Landing in Pisa, I took a train to the central station, where I met up with Emma and Michelle, who had been in Rome for the week. (I’m very excited for my trip to Rome in late October with Charli!)
We went straight to the leaning tower, and discovered that through the lens of a camera, the tower hardly looks like its leaning but still proceeded to...
Get Ready to Dance and Sing
London, England
27/7
After leaving Trowbridge late morning, Mum, Dad and I headed to London, where we’d be staying a night before taking off on other adventures. After a bit of a mission trying to find our hotel and a quick bit to eat, Mum and I were off to see the Billy Elliot musical! The show was amazing, and seeing a show, wether it be Billy Elliot, or any show on the West End, I would...
Mo
Cardiff, Wales
26/7
During our days in Trowbridge, we took a day trip to Wales led by our GPS that seemed to have adopted the name Mo.
Cardiff, although quite quiet, was a nice city, and the day we went it was lovely and sunny. Mum, Olive and I became kids for a few moments when we rode on this old school merry-go-round, leaving Dad with the cameras, happily snapping.
We wandered around...
Saving Ladies
Trowbridge and Bath, England
23/7- 26/7
Fresh off the plane from Santorini, Mum, Dad and I picked up our rental car and headed for Trowbridge, to see my great aunty Olive, and my family who lived in Bath. For Mum and Dad, this was the first time in years they had seen our family, and I hadn’t seen them since the early February, and it was very nice to catch up.
With no time to waste, we quickly...
Jandal Tans
Santorini, Greece Island
17/7- 22/7
Going to Greece has always been a dream of mine, and literally started counting down months in advanced. Partially because I was going to Greece with mum and dad, and I was pretty excited to see them after so long.
The trip started out with minor flight delays, by a strike from the Greek Airspace, but soon enough, Dad, Mum, Emma, Michelle (two of my friends,...
