My camping weekend!

Hello to you!

So this weekend, I went camping with my best friends for Mabel's birthday. It was so fun, and we got some good picture so I thought i'd tell you about it! I know this isn't really a beauty/fashion related post but it's nice to include you guys in my life too. :)

(These pictures are not in chronological order - they are a little jumbled!)

I love this picture, we all look rather silly but I think it captured a really nice summery moment!

There were hundreds of bubbles - it was so fun!

This picture looks quite hipster, but I quite like it! Let me tell you about our little "adventure"...we were going to drive down to the beach as the weather was gorgeous, and as we were on our way down (in 2 separate cars), me and a friend noticed that the car was smelling a bit weird. We didn't really know what it was, but suddenly the smell got really strong and we were like "THE CAR IS ON FIRE GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT!!! It was a very dramatic moment. We stopped the car and jumped out, and we were right - smoke was coming out of the bonnet above the front brakes. Later on we found out that the AA comes out 3 times a week rescuing cars from the hill we were driving down because it was so steep! As we didn't have a car, we had to walk a mile down to the beach. This was NOT FUN as I was wearing a pair of sandals/wedges and I was only wearing them because I thought we would park by the beach and then all sit down and have a nice time! I WAS OH SO WRONG. Turns out we were at a very rocky/pebbly beach, and the tide was out so it took us probably around half an hour to get down! I couldn't go down with my shoes on so Faye had to give me a piggyback. This ended with her falling over with me still on her back, and I accidentally hit her in the face with the heel of my shoes. Oh dear. By the time we FINALLY got down to the shore, we realized the water was really gross so guess what we did next? That's right. We had to walk aaallllll the way back up again. By this point my feet were aching, Kayleigh's foot was bleeding and Faye had lost her headphones. We had to try and keep our spirits up by listening to music while walking back! Luckily the AA had fixed the flaming car by the time we got back, and we could finally go back and relax. It was a very dramatic start to the weekend!

This picture was taken soon after we arrived - I don't know why but I look really weird in this picture! Everyone was taking loads of pictures and I was just shouting 'LET ME PUT MASCARA ON FIRST!' ...I didn't have a chance to put mascara on for this picture. Shout out to Mabel for being the creepiest person in this picture.

We were camping right next to a river which was great at the weather was crazy hot, but it also meant we were surrounded by midges the whole time. I ended up with so many bites all over my legs! This is an action-shot picture of me on the swing that we found there - it was very fun, there was also a handmade trapeze which I found very entertaining to mess about on too!

Jule, me and Thea. Yes I really am short, but Jule is quite tall so I'm not a complete midget!

Award for me for looking at the wrong camera. My back looks really arched in this picture! This was one of the nicer pictures of me and Kayleigh. We normally end up pulling horrible faces, and this was the best we could do! I still didn't have any makeup on at this point. *sigh*

THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURES OF ME WITHOUT MAKEUP! This is a picture of me and Emily by the back of the car - I think we were stood here so we could avoid putting the tent up! I've been going to festivals and such my whole life, but I still don't know how to pitch a tent properly. 

This camping trip was the first time I had worn shorts without tights, so I was rather proud! This picture looks a little bit blurry which is a shame, and there was a better version of this picture and all of us but I can't find it! Jule, me, Mabel, Kayleigh and Thea. We all look so summery!

It didn't take very long for all of us to collapse in a heap. It was really really hot, so we were all feeling tired! This was before the beach disaster. If only we knew what was coming. 

Jule took this picture with her AMAZING camera while I was left with the tent! I didn't know what to do so I just stood there holding the stick in the ground, hoping for the best. I really like this picture, I think it captured the moment really well! When the wind started blowing and the stick started moving out of place, I let go and ran away to the river because I thought the stick would fly upwards and hit me which I was not looking forward to. It was probably best that I stayed out of the way really!

Thea looking oh so graceful here. As you can probably see, this was an action shot! I looked up to see a camera being pointed at me just in time. Unfortunately for Thea, she waited a little too long to look up. Sorry Thea! 

So this picture basically sums up me and Kayleigh's friendship. Although we drift apart now and then, when we are together we can't stop being weird! I would be lying if I said this weekend didn't involve me and her  sneaking into a field of sheep to try and sunbathe with them. I won't speak anymore about that field as it was a very funny but strange thing to do! The sheep ran away quite a lot which was disappointing for us. Love you Kayleigh bby!

I figured I would end this post with this picture as I think it is such a pretty photo. Jule took this while I was looking at the field, and I think the flower crown looks so nice! I am also glad that you can't see my roots too badly in this ;) I thought it would be a nice picture to end this post on!

So I hope you enjoyed reading a little bit about my camping weekend, I had a great time with all my best friends and I hope to do it again next year! Only thing I would change for next time - bring bug repellent! Apart from that, it was brilliant. Happy birthday Mabel! I hope you had a really good time too, we all did :)

Thanks for reading! I will be posting a few more festival related posts over the summer holiday as I will be at quite a few festivals! (Tolpuddle Martyrs, Dance Camp in Norich, Play festival in Wales, and Bristol Juggling Convention - if you will be at any of these then let me know, or come and say hi if we bump into each other! Also next year I will be going to Bestival with Faye so let me know if you might be going to that!)

I have a few post ideas that I need to plan and I am currently changing little bits of my blog here and there, so hopefully you will like all the new stuff i'll be posting! Also i'll be doing a very special post soon as I have almost written 100 blog posts on here, woooow! A lot of these will have been daily glittersnaps but it only feels like I started my blog a few months ago! Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin HERE if you don't already :) are you guys doing anything interesting over the holidays? Let me know in the comments!
