It's been a while...

I've been SO busy this month, it's been the best Summer yet! I have so many stories to tell but frankly, I'm far too lazy to write them all so here's a brief catch up on my month...
I went away to the gorgeous island of Cyprus on July 22nd. It was so so hot and sunny. 52 degrees C one afternoon! During this holiday I drank my weight in cocktails and Coca Cola and read a couple of books (Atonement- it was amazing, and Shawshank Redemption- also amazing.)
Didn't take many photos as it required effort carrying around my huge camera every time we left the villa but here are a handful I did manage to take:
Plane journey, obviously. (5.5 hours!!!)

Our villa



Our local bar run by Geordies

My bedroom

Sunsunsun

Mafia house next to the beach

CHERRY 7UP. You can't find this anywhere and it's amazing.

Hm, which one is me??

BBQs every night

Cyprus went so fast and I missed everyone at home loads. Two nights later I was on the plane to Barca where I took a lot more photos:

First night, looking naked.

Soo good

After Spain, we drove through France and stopped at a number of different places in the South, it was amazing and very different to your usual holiday..

Me, pondering

The best part of the holiday was being told that we were going to DISNEYLAND PARIS! I was so, so excited to go as I've never been before. We were there from 9am until 1am, my body was aching for 3 days afterwards but it was SO worth it (and was affordable). 

We're almost there!!

This is so cliche but it literally is the magical place ever, the parades were amazing and the night show was breath taking. I would love to go again or maybe even save up and go to the one in Orlando!

Finally after a loooong journey home, I arrived home on August 21st, leaving me just a couple of hours to pack for LEEDS FESTIVAL! This was such an amazing week.
