King's Cross, Baker Street & London Bridge

Hey Peoples :)
I've been meaning to put up this post for ages, but I don't have my laptop over here in England and its hard to get time to do it.


Well, this post is just a few photos of my last trip to London.
I revisited Covent Garden... seeing as it's a lovely place to just hang out for a while. The day was mostly done in a rush though, with seeing different places, so when I get back after Summer I'll be returning back here to Covent Garden, so I can take everything in.



London bridge was perhaps one of my favourite places to see. The bridge itself is beautiful, but I liked how I got sit down with my lunch on the lawn and take in the whole site. I was so lucky to get the marvellous weather as well. The blue sky made the city prettier, making the buildings pop out.






It's pretty impossible to get a 'normal' picture of my brother... takes after my Dad. I now see why there's no family pictures hung up around my house back in Ireland. We'd scare the guests.






This was my second time returning back to the 'Sherlock Holmes Museum' at Baker Street... heehee, but sadly there were no tickets on sale... the place was so busy. So I bought some little souvenirs and tried on some hats instead.

I'm sooooooo excited for the third season of 'sherlock'. Thank God for television :)








And what else can measure up to sherlock........ Uhhh.... Harry Potter of course. So me and my friends visited King's Cross Station. I felt like one of those scary fans.... "Ooh, that tower is from the second movie..." and then can you believe it, we almost missed the gift shop. I bought myself a Harry Potter key chain and 9 3/4 train ticket. I left the station feeling pretty great.














I feel stupid not knowing that I was standing behind Buckingham Palace... and it was the next site that was on our list. Might I say, I bloody hate the maps around the city. It's better to have one of your own i think.










I really liked this shot when I took it. There were so many cyclists around. And the lane itself gave a 'Pride & Prejudice' feel to it.



I hope you enjoyed these pics, and if you have any questions about where I visited, 
ask away.
Tomorrow I'm heading to the 'Harry Potter Warner Bros. Studios' in Watford. So if I get the time, I'll post up a blog about it.

Thanks for reading :D

Liebster Blog Award

The Liebster Award is something of which I haven't heard about, ever since the 30 Day Snap I've been real busy, but I was lucky enough to get time to check over my bloglovin, and I came across my name on Away with the fairies
I came across Annas blog a while back, and I'm happy with how she and I comment on each others blogs, it makes me feel as though some people are reading my blogs. So thank you so much Anna for the nomination and your lovely comments, it means a lot knowing that you enjoy what I post.


The Liebster Award involves:
1- Answering the 10 Liebster Award questions that were given by your nominee, and with linking the person who nominated you.
2- 10 bloggers with under 200 followers must be nominated for the award. (Even though I chose 7, because simply enough I'm just lazy, and these bloggers are the only ones that interest me).
3- You must come up with 10 questions for your nominees (and these nominees must be notified on there blog)

So... here are Annas questions that she had picked out for me... I'll answer honestly, so if I come across as a little strange or random, well then your getting to know what I'm like.

1- What made you start blogging?
Well I enjoy writing in my diaries, ever since I was a kid, and I have an interest in photography (I'm useless at it, but I enjoy it nonetheless). So the idea of fusing them together is pretty cool. Plus I really enjoy the idea of talking about interests to other bloggers.

2- When did you start blogging?
I started on the 5th of May 2013... yep only a while back. (I'm new to all of this).

3- Which style of posts do you enjoy most?
I enjoy lifestyle posts, I like to know what other people get up to... NOSEY I AM! No, but I'm curious to what the world looks like from other peoples perspectives.

4- What is your guilty pleasure?
Can eating a stash of chocolate be a normal answer.....No?... Ok then, well me sitting down, watching reruns of 'Gilmore Girls' and 'Bones' with a truck-full of chocolate is my guilty pleasure. Also eating tubs of ice-cream, ALL IN ONE GO!

5- If you could go to the past or into the future which would it be and why?
I think I would choose the past because I like the idea of being surprised by my future. Plus seeing my gran again would mean a lot.

6- What is your favourite song right now?
I'd have to say 'Blurred Lines' by Robin Thicke, I just see myself wearing glasses and strutting down the street.

7- Who is your biggest inspiration?
Hmm, well I'd say Louise from 'Sprinkle of Glitter' is my blog inspiration. She has a wonderful life, family and friends. It's pretty much what I want for my future. And a whole heck of fun.

8- If you could be anyone for the day, who would you be?
I'd like to know what it would be like to be the Queen of England. I'd be interested to know what she gets up too. I doubt she'd be like me, laying on the couch in my PJs watching 'Scrubs' or 'Top Gear'.

9- Do you have any goals at the minute?
Well I'm hoping for a better physique, heehee, work in progress.

10- Do you watch any tv religiously?
God yeah I do... I have my favourites such as 'Bones', 'Greys Anatomy' and 'The Mentalist'. But recently I've been obsessed with the series 'Sherlock'... I need my tv time, it's therapy for me.

So onto the nominees I've chosen... I've picked 7, not 10... And remember it's people that have under 200 followers. So the following nominees are (drumroll please....)


So my questions for you all are:
1- When did you start blogging and what was your reason for starting it?
2- Who is your most favourite blogger and why?
3- What do you like to do in your free time?
4- What do like most about your appearance?
5- What is your favourite movie or tv show or book and whyyyyy?
6- What song puts you in a good mood?
7- Do you prefer Winter or Summer and whyyyyyyyy?
8- Who do you idolise in your life? (It can be someone either close to you or someone famous).
9- Is there any event or special occasion coming up in your life? (Or something your looking forward to?)
10- What's the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you?

So I'm looking forward to what you all have to say... hopefully there'll be some surprising answers.
Anyway, feel privileged I even picked ye.... haaaa.... only joking.... I love each and everyone of your blogs... Soooooo gooooood luck :)

30 Day Snap #30 | Final Day, Sunny Day


So Guys, it's all finished. It'll be nice to look back on these photos I think.
This month was a pretty busy month, with coming over here to London, having an interview for Nursing (where I'll be starting this coming September), having my brother and bff coming over from Ireland, going to the movies, shopping, my trips to London, babysitting in between it all.
Today I went to a temple in Letchmore Heath. It was a lovely spot for such a beautiful day.

I'm planning on grouping my favourite photos together for a blog when I head back home to Ireland as well, might as well show the memories.

Anyway let me know what your highlights were during this snap challenge.

30 Day Snap #29 | London trip and A Right Old Laugh


Today me and my Brother Aran and my BFF 'Edel Belle' went off to London for the day. It was great I might add. As you can see from this picture, we all loved 'Big ben'.
My brother looks as though he's in pain, and well Edel... she's always like that :)
She got her Real Technique brushes and I got my 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower'... so all good :D

Anyway hopefully more days to London before I head back home.

Last day tomorrow guys... :(

30 Day Snap #28 | Birthday Party & High at Morissons


As you can see from this picture, I was at a kiddies birthday party. So tiring! Even though it was only a little over two hours, I was exhausted. Some kid got lost, I eventually found the guy running laps around the ball pen. I was delighted to get home though.

Then after dinner, I went to 'Morissons' with 'Edel Belle', for some strange reason, we come out of 'Morissons' like we're high or something, don't know why but it happens, pulling faces at strangers walking by in the store and diving for cover. And then we come home doing Texan accents. We are weird right? Weird is great though :)

So with returning back home tonight with 2 movies, 'The Adjustment Bureau' and 'Wimbledon', a load of sweets and bottles of Coke (I decided to get the one with 'Zoe' on it, seeing as she is one of my most favourite You Tubers :D), me and Edel are gonna plan our London trip for tomorrow and may attempt to watch 'Wimbledon'.

Anyway let me know what y'all been up to... not nosey, curious :)

30 Day Snap #26 | Pretty Nail Varnish


For a beautiful day, my friend did my nails... a pretty blue pastel colour (love pastel colours), along with a bit of glam. Painted nails are as good an accessory than any I think. Strangely enough my Dad got me this ring as well, unusual from a Dad, right? The diamond is just the size I like.

I took this picture in the park with my friends and Uncle, playing football and frisbee.

Also it's only 4 days until this snap challenge is finished. I'm not complaining, it is tricky to get it done, with time and everything, but I'm happy that I'll be able to look back on these and smile to what foolishness I did and what silly pictures I put up. I'll be calling myself "a right idiot".
