Cooking skills!


After the earthquake had hit Kent, we went to my Auntie Rebecca's house, where I was dropped off for the morning!!

The electricity was off, and my Auntie Rebecca was annoyed that we couldn't watch the television, or use the internet! The pictures on the walls had even tipped sideways from the tremor!

There were many sirens, and a huge police van came down the road! Auntie Rebecca took great delight in pulling back the curtains, so she could see what was happening! (She was extremely excited)!

It wasn't long before the electricity came back, and Auntie Rebecca wanted me to cook the lunch! I peeled the potatoes, and chopped them! Unfortunately, Auntie Rebecca wanted me to crack the egg open for the yorskire puddings!! BIG MISTAKE! I felt like such a dufus, as it missed the bowl, and went all over the floor! Auntie Rebecca made me crack the egg a second time, thankfully, it worked, and I didn't miss the bowl!!

Later on in the evening, I went to Louise's house for tea, where I ate a delicious sausage plaite!! I felt full afterwards, as I even got apple pie and ice cream!

Kent and Canterbury university!

Our college arranged a trip to Kent and Canterbury university yesterday, which was tiring, but good!

We arrived about 12.00, on a hot, and full coach, where we all had to go into a huge room! The room was packed full of people, and I could barely move an inch!! Universities from across the country were there (and Australia), to try and convince you to go to their University!
I managed to pick up a few leaflets, but I think I want to go to Canterbury, to study occupational therapy!! Alison does not want anyone to stay in Kent, as it will look good on her record if we travel far!

Buckingamshire university were there, and the lady snubbed her nose up at me, and told me that this wasn't suitable for me! I wasn't even thinking of going there, but I was only looking!! It is because I am not academically brilliant!

I finished that cell membrane question today, which is the one I posted on my blog last week! Horrahhhhyyyy!

Evangelism day!!

Today, I had youth church, which is particularly for young people in the church, and runs every other Sunday!!

Some helpers always prepare a beautiful breakfast for us all to eat, and today there was watermelon! Unfortunately, there were not many people there to eat it today, as I think indivdual's are studying for their exams coming up!!

We sang worship songs, and we were all given a musical instrument to play! Later on in the meeting, we all were split into four groups, where we were given a challenge to go to different places around Folkestone, Kent! Our group was sent to the library!!

After we had arrived at the destination, we had to open the piece of paper we had been given, which said that we had to try to ask individual's walking past a few questions! These included:-
What is your name?, Where do you live?, and Do you believe in Jesus Christ? If they answered yes to the last question, they recieved a chocolate bar!!

We asked many people, lots of whom said they didn't wan't to answer any questions! When we asked one lady, as soon as we mentioned Jesus, she told us to go away!! I think we touched a raw nerve in her heart!

I had a brilliant time anyway, and it was even better to know I had a wonderful dinner to come home to, roast pork, and popovers! My Auntie Rebecca, and Grandad came for dinner, where my Auntie Rebecca rested her ankle on my leg, and tried to make me smell her feet!!

The final term!

It is finally here, the last term of the school year!! Horrahyy!

I went back to college on Monday, where I was bombarded with work, work, and more work! Yesterday, I became so stressed, my blood was boling, and I became bright red!!

One of my teachers, Alison, is a huge stressor in my course, as she is always saying about how hard you have to work to reach anywhere, and that you have to achieve the top grades in everything!! I eventually calmed down by the evening, realising that all I have to do, is try my best!

One of the questions, which made me extremely stressed yesterday, was a science question! It was 'Explain factors that influence movement of molecules across cell membranes in relation to cell growth'.

The teacher, Alison did not explain the question well, so I asked her for some help!! She then told me to look in the books! That would be okay, if it were explained simply in the books! I have found a bit of information on it now though!!

Frappuchino!!


My Auntie Rebecca, mum, and I went to starbucks this morning, it was excellent! The queue was extremely long when we arrived, but we soon got served! I ordered a mango and passionfruit frappuchino, with a cinnamon bun!! It was the nicest cinnamon bun I have ever tastest!

We managed to find some comfortable chairs upstairs, where my Auntie was rearranging the furniture! Not long after we had sat down, a man and women came in, and Auntie Rebecca flicked her coffee at them, on her spoon!! This was because she looked young enough to be his daughter - yuk!

It was brilliant at starbucks, I have not had one for a very long time!! It was nice to talk, as well, especially for my mum and Auntie, who told me that I had to go swimming in Canada, whether I liked it, or not!!

I have been working most of the holidays on my social policy assignment, which has been difficult!! I have finally the finashed the task that is due in soon!

Auntie Rebecca dancing!

Here it is!

The lake at Hever Castle!

Here is one of the videos, taken at Hever!

A day at Hever!




I spent the day at Hever Castle yesterday, with my Auntie Rebecca, Grandad, Auntie Cilla, and Uncle Jeff! Hever Castle is a brilliant castle, definitely my favourite!!

We set off just before 9.30am, and drove through the beautiful countryside, such as Biddenden, and Goudhurst! The first stop we had was at Biddenden, and Auntie Rebecca couldn't stand the smell, as it smelt of pigs!!

At 11.00, we parked the car, and walked up to Hever Caslte, where I took a few pictures!! Auntie Rebecca brought everyone an ice cream, and mine was smarties, yumm! The loos were quite good, but Auntie Rebecca thought they were going to be car park loos!

We queued to get into the castle, where I took some videos with my camera!! It was such a wonderful day, that it wasn't too bad waiting in the line!

Once we arrived in the castle, we looked at each room! My favourite was the execution room, as it was extremlely interesting, but I enjoyed all of it, even the little toilet!

Next, we all walked back to the car, where we collected the picnic! Grandad wanted to sit by the lake, which I was pleased about, because it was so pretty!! The picnic was delicious! Auntie Rebecca had made sandwiches, and we had posh yoghurts, the nicest yoghurts I've ever tasted!

All of us laughed, as we saw these two girls, who were rather large, struggling to row a boat! They couldn''t move at all, and I think they had to be rescued!!

The watermaze was excellent, where I managed to get myself soaked, but Auntie Rebecca missed the water!! We got lost in the garden maze, but it was still fun!

I had a super day, especially seeing Auntie Rebecca dancing, which I will put on my blog later!!

A trip to Heathrow!

Yesterday morning, my Grandad, Dad, and I travelled up to Heathrow airport to collect my Auntie Rebecca after her long flight back to England, from Canada!! It was very busy on the roads, and my Dad had a bit of road rage, but I was too busy eating Grandad's hobnob biscuits to notice!

Once we arrived at Heathrow airport, terminal three, I managed to pick a good spot to wait for Auntie Rebecca, and she was out extremely quickly! I think I saw a rugby player, but it definitely wasn't Kyran Bracken!!

I pushed my Auntie's trolley back to the carpark, almost crashing into several cars on the way!
We stopped off at Clacket lane on the way home, where my Auntie was trying to find me an ice tea, but they did not sell it there!!

It was really good to see my Auntie Rebecca again, particularly her new hairstyle, and she brought me some presents!! One of the gifts was a bear, with a Canadian symbol on the foot, which I have now clipped onto my bag!

Top Trumps!

The other day, I brought some Jaqueline Wilson top trumps! Top trumps is one of the BEST games, and the person who manages to recieve all the cards, wins the game!! I brought it to play with my Auntie Rebecca for when we fly to Canada in July! (I know she hates games though)! My dad hates games as well, it must be the way they were brought up!!

I have decided I am going to change my blog now, particularly the pictures, as they look terrible, and I have changed a lot since then!

Yesterday, I was working at Ashford library, when I accidentally put £7.99 through the till twice! A senior lady, who doesn't like me much (I think it's because I'm the youngest) was not very nice, because of this! I just smiled sweetly at her!!
