Roll up Roll up!

Yesterday I went to the circus for the very first time! Sam and I went for a quick walk on the Heath and noticed that one was set up... the next showing in half an hour! So we bought tickets and went in!

After having watched 'Water for Elephants' just a couple of weeks ago I really didn't know what to expect but it was brilliant!

The trapeze artists were brilliant, there were budgies that did tricks, dancing horses, a woman who juggled fire whilst upside down on a motorbike, trumpet playing clowns and the finalee, three motorcyclists driving round the inside of a globe! I would definately reccomend it to anyone - although maybe go to an evening showing as we were surrounded by young children!

Hanging on the telephone....

Sorry for the lack of posts... I have just finished my first full week in my job and need to get used to my new routine... x I am absolutely loving it so far, although my first two shoots were postponed.. jinxed?x here are a few iphone pix of what i have been up to though xx

Boardwalk empire :)

season 2 is out soon!.. can't wait!

Reading

I think I am now finally clean again after an unexpected weekend at Reading Festival... my friend had a spare pass so we ended up camping all weekend. Whilst I do feel quite old at reading, and somewhat jaded... it was still brilliant fun, especially with so many teenage favourites on the bill!

My highlights were the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Warpaint, Offspring and Friendly Fires.

Back in the Shire.....

I finally made a long overdue visit to my mum in Surrey, I haven't been home since christmas! crazy! x

We went to the Gomshall mill for lunch which is the cutest pub with a mill running through the middle of it

my brother..

I ate the hugest chicken cider and leek pie - yum :) x

Then we stopped off at Silent Pool, an amazing spring and pond that is meant to be haunted.

We also stopped off in Shere, the next village on from my Mum's where they filmed 'The Holiday' and some of Bridget Jones...

Finally we went Blackberry and Apple picking in the back garden and baked an apple crumble cake - yum :)
