Cornwall!

Hello everyone!
So, for the fast 5 days i have been in Cornwall, which is about 5 hours south of London, in the countryside :) my goodness, it is beautiful! everywhere you go your surrounded by the rich, lucious colours of the extensive country gardens and fields with a beautiful view of the coast. I am thuroughly enjoying myself, on the first few days we were here I got to meet several of my cousins that I had never met before, my aunt and uncles house was packed with the chatter and footsteps of up to 11 people reuniting and having a lovely time. My cousin Craig brought his baby Edie who has just turned one and she was sooo cute!! (If you know me, you know i spent the majority of my time fawning over the baby) we all had lots of fun talking to her as she dosent speak english but she is very fluent (and loud) in jibberish she was precious! :) After everybody left and there was just a few of us left we began to go visit some pretty cool places and explore the sweet coastal villages that surround the area. We have made trips to Truro (us girls went shopping at some pretty cool shops, one vintage shop was really cool!) St michaels mount (we splashed around and explored the beach town) and a few oter places I have forgotten the name of. :) Since weve been here my cousin Louisa has taken some nice photos so i figured id post a few up here, there are loads more on facebook but i didnt want to post them all up here :) soo i hope you enjoy these photos and are insired to see Cornwall yourself one day! :)

London- sorry it took me so long :)

Hello everyone!
So the day after I got here I went to London, it was really nice I got to Explore oxford street and I believe the west bank near westminster. Louisa's uncle was attending a play at the Globe Theatre (for all those non shakespearers its the theatre he created so many years ago in london) so he brought us into London so we could venture around! after a much needed cup of Coffee and croissant at "Pret a Mangers" (pret-a-mon-jay) we headed into the busy streets of London toward the underground! first we strolled along The bank of "The River Thames" giggling and enjoying the various street buskers and vendors we were particularly bemused by a man who was dressed as a cat but only had his head sticking out in a kennel and he was singing it was really creepy but we gave him money anyway cause he put on a  good show :) the warm, sweet smell of butter, sugar and various spices filled our noses as we walked past food vendors selling fresh candied nuts, we watched the little man stirring it all together as our mouths watered but we carried on to the Globe Theatre where Louisa's Uncle Nick would be catching a play. The Globe theatre seemed just as I had read in books, with its circular structure and wood panels, it was beautiful! :) after Nick walked us to the underground we ventured on to  Oxford Street. The sidewalks were packed with the hussle and bussle of tourists, commuters and locals headed to various locations along the massive street famous for incredible shopping :) and if you know me, you know I lve to shop so I got right on it and enjoyed browsing and searching for bargains. I have become quite infatuated with the english/ european style its very classy but cute and always trendy! we walked around for a while until we realised we were quite hungry so we went to a nice little sushi shop (say that 5 times fast :) ) and had a nice healthy lunch! after lunch we set out shopping again and didnt stop until it was 6 and time to go home :( all in all it was a great day and I would love to go back to the city again soon! :)
Goodbye for now!
