Leaver's Do

Well, what can I say? That was one amazing send off before I see you all again in three months. Starbucks, lunch, followed by more Starbucks and then on to the firework display in Cassiobury, drinks at the pub and to top it all off a trip to some haunted mansions!

Gah! Even though my Starbucks obsession still isn't completely satisfied it was nice to have it one last time with Adele for breakfast and then with Gemma and Anthony as an afternoon snack haha! Adele, it was so nice catching up over a nice Hazelnut Hot Chocolate and Gem and Ant lunch was great and I am still holding you Gemma to a day at the Harry Potter convention for my return hehe.

The fireworks were amazing too, especially the ones at the beginning. Lynsey that picture of you and I at the entrance is really very nice and it was nice hanging out! The fireworks were awesome even though Alana and I missed the last ones since Laurence ended up at the other entrance to the park! It's all good though and we don't blame you cause you bought us the first round of drinks - thankyou! Yasmine it was so nice of you to join us and have a little catch-up session which was really needed! When I return, I'll take you up on the hairdressing at your college 😉!

The White Lion with Lauren and co. was so much fun and I still can't believe that Laurence 'Doctor Who' Chalk lost a game of snooker when he saves the universe - unbelievable! Lauren, you're idea to visit the haunted mansion was absolute genius. It was so creepy and we should definitely head there for Halloween sometime! Next time we'll check out those smaller houses because apparently those who we left behind to return home heard some weird noises before sprinting all the way back to the car to drive home!

Even though I got back at half two in the morning, (courtesy of Lauren and Jake) didn't get to sleep until after three and was woken up by my sister at 7am! That was an amazing day as the pictures on here and facebook prove!
