Our Recent Trip to America: Disney's Magic Kingdom (Day One)

I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted on here. Life has kept me pretty busy lately and I'm trying to achieve the ultimate social/work/life balance and in doing so, blogging has become my last priority which sucks because I love getting my thoughts and feelings out and sharing my photos on here.

Nevertheless, a quick update. Since the last time I posted, I started a masters at uni, quit said course (that's another story altogether), turned 22, celebrated Christmas and New Year and, of course, visited America. I can't express how much we enjoyed ourselves while we were at Orlando. We did so much in our two weeks that I will have to post about it in multiple blog posts (I also took lots and lots of photos too).

My Trip To Edinburgh And The Fringe

Edinburgh, Scotland

I've been in the hustle and bustle of the city of Edinburgh for the past couple of days to see some of the acts of the Fringe Festival. It was my first time exploring this beautiful city and I had such a great time, not to mention I walked and saw so much, I was absolutely shattered at the end of each day. We (me and the boyfriend) stayed for three days, and I thought I would share some of the photos I took and the places I visited!

A Trip To Whipsnade Zoo

Whipsnade Zoo, Dunstable

Quite a while back, I went to Centre Parcs with my family and for a day out we visited Whipsnade Zoo near London. We kind of underestimated how long it would take to drive there, but after a good solid few hours, we finally arrived.

In all honesty I only wanted to go to see my sister's face when she saw the elephants (she adores them), but I had an amazing day out and all the animal's were so cute. I surprised myself actually, I've never been that interested in zoo's and I honestly had a really good time.

My favourite by far was the elephants who were absolutely adorable and so smart! I never realised just how clever they are, but they performed in front of an audience and then went for a walk around the park. Plus, the little baby elephant Max was there (I believe there's now another baby elephant and Max is a big brother now?).

We also fed the bears, watched the sealion show (those are also some smart animals!), had a giraffe stick its tongue out at us, saw a rhino taking a bath, and came face to face with a kangaroo. Overall, it was a fantastic day out and it's safe to say I was exhausted by the end of it.

Postcards From Rothbury

Rothbury, Northumberland

This week, my boyfriend and I have been out and about exploring Rothbury. I'd never been before, and I had no idea what it was like but it is one of the loveliest (and smallest) villages I've ever seen. There's not much to do here except go for little strolls around the countryside. There's a small town centre which has all the basic necessities but it's such a relaxing and quiet atmosphere compared to living in the hustle and bustle of the city. We also had dinner at an Italian restaurant which had the most delicious pasta, ever.
