hi de hi campers! 14th-16th August 2012

The past few days i have been away for the second time this year; camping! I dolove camping i have been every year now at least once since i was sixteen with either friends and/or family,it is great fun and this time was no exception! We went as a family clang bringing along some of our partners as not everyone could make it and our dog had a crazy, hectic, fun, loud time! We stayed in Waxham just a mile away from sea palling and 9 miles from the seaside town (and arcades) from great yarmouth. Situated here meant it was nestled in the back of country lanes but you could still get out and about. The campsite had it's own beach so we were a stones throw from the nearest sand and sea although you did have to be fit as you had to venture the sand dunes first!!! It was very pretty, it wasn't over crammed at all due to its 'exclusiveness' to the campsite so the overall feel was relaxing and the scenes were very pretty! We drove past windmills and wind turbines that stood tall and proud amongst neatly cut fields of grass, flowers surrounding calfs and sheep grazing. It was a lovely time just being away for two days with everyone it also gave a nice opportunity to meet my sisters new boyfriend so we got to know him much better! We sure gave him a nice welcome with me and chloe singing around the camp in the evening and cooking the food for everyone, it brings people together just the simplest of tasks when you camp!

my grandma with the red hairs 70th birthday present

As promised i wouldn't upload a photo of my oil painting until my grandma had opened it herself, the only people who saw it was me and my dad who it my constructive critismner (if thats even a word!) She seemed very pleased with it and i am so happy and relieved that she likes it. I painted a windy day at the beach of her and her mum, a very special photo to her...
Happy birthday grandma, love you. x

evening out with my family.



 Tonight as you would have read from my previous post we went out for my dads birthday at an american themed restaurant. I ate so much, but it was a lovely time the atmosphere was relaxed and it was a chance for all of the family (well dads side) to be together.We all managed to leave something but that was because the portions were absolutley huge! But we managed to squeeze in dessert too ;) You can't really go to a restaurant or to eat out without one!
This is my meal, i had a mushroom mozarella burger with fries and coleslaw, but because we all had a side we had a banquet of choice laid out on the table from coleslaw, to onion rings, garlic bread, sweet potato fries! I didn't manage to get a photo of my dessert as it looked to good i delved straight in and didn't hang around for long. Tomorrow i will try to eat fairly well to counteract the massive intake tonight. We took alot of photos which is nice, to have something we can look back on!

happy birthday dad!

Today is my dads birthday and next week is my little sisters and the week after it's my other sisters and my little brothers. This time of the year is a very expensive one, but obviously a very fun, active and eventful one! Tonight us as a family we are all going out to celebrate with a meal at a new local diner which is american 1950s inspired which i am very much looking forward too. Next week all of our family are coming down to celebrate everyones birthday in a joint garden party outside which i have off work which will be super fun!
Our family is very big and very lively!

Here are a few photos of us as a family..
Dads girls.


My sisters and little brother minus little Millie and Tommy.

dad and some of us girls.
We rarely get a photo opportunity of all of us together, but for dads present we have managed to enlarge a recent family photo up to a2 size and had it framed. It would be wrong for me to post this photo before he sees it first! So this space will be filled with a new updated photo soon. Even though my family can get quite caotic at times, i wouldn't change it for anything. Family is the most important thing in the whole world, and they will always be there for you.
