Okay.. I am late again!! This is so unlike me... like really unlike me!!!

But on Monday I went away on holiday to center parcs: http://www.centerparcs.co.uk/
Which is an activity place/thing where they have water activities such as Kayaking to Abseling and Quad Bikes!!
My best friend Grace.. been featured on my blog already this summer... you guys know her so well now don't you!!! She treated me and I went to the Center Parcs-Longleat with her and her family!
The activities we did were:
-Canoeing
-Laser Shoot out
-High Ropes and Leap of Faith
-Aerial Adventure
-Badminton
-Mini Bowling

Now if any of you readers know me socially... you will know I am a huge scaredy cat/a giant baby when it comes to facing my fears! But this holiday I seriously let myself to go and me.. yes me I did a leap of faith from like the height of a 2 storey house and a zip wire over a lake!! Some of you are now giving me a round of applause.. now you're smiling... however some of you are thinking so what?! I don't care I am proud of myself and you know what I deserve to feel this way!!

I actually suit all the gear they give you, I should do all this more often:


Now below if this actually works is a couple of very short vlogs/videos of me and my best friend on some of the activities:

Me on aerial adventure...(basically an obstacle course in the tress!)



Me on the Leap of faith.. yeah that did require alot of faith!!!

Grace coming down on the ZIP WIRE.. got to love this girl


Grace doing Leap of Faith... yeh i KNOW she was amazing.. she actually did way better than me and held onto the handlebars!!! xxx

What's more in order to get around the whole park you use bikes.. now they say riding a bike is like riding a bike and I am incredibly happy to tell you it is!!! I got used to the bike in only one day and by the last day I was riding a bike in a maxi skirt... c'mon guys do I not get a round of applause at least for that!!! Most of the activies took place in the Jardin des Sport which was at the opposite end of the park to our lodge....so when we were there we stayed as long as possible to make it worth the huge journey!!

And overall you're probably wondering about our jumpers well.... the front said:
'Don't cry because it's over,
smile because it happened'
This is mine and Graces favourite quote ever!!!
Then the back said our nicknames!!

If you would like to look uber-cool on your holiday and get matching jumpers for you and your friend/s or family then look no further than: www.banana-moon-clothing.co.uk
Oh I sound just like an advert....well you know how it is!!!
Heres the back of Graces/Gracie:
The weather was well choppy/changy.. one of the days it was absolutely terrential (if that's how you spell it) the rain would not stop and then the next day I almost got burnt.. thank God for suncream!!! :D Ahhh how we all love the English summer!

I just want to thank my best friend and her family for such an amazing holiday!!

If you ever get the chance to go to Center Parcs... bear in mind it may be alot of great fun but it is not cheap in fact it is compeltely overpriced ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££
The food, the lodge, some of the activities!!!!!!


My next post will be an introduction to my US college series!!
Much love
