☼ summer update ☼

So I just got home from a week in Cornwall with the coolest gal, Rachel where we had the best time. It was so hot there so we just swam all day and jumped off the stone wall that juts out into the sea and then sunbathed and watched films, which was perfect. On a visit to the nearest town, we went into a junk shop where we found an old i-zone Polaroid camera which (if you can afford the ridiculously priced film) prints your photo onto a sticker which is awesome. Rachel got an underwater camera as well and I bought my new favourite thing ever: an old Praktica Super TL analogue camera that I intend to start using as soon as possible for this summer, so watch this space for when I start taking photos..

My exams are all finally overrrr (thank godd) and I am so happy. To celebrate, me and my friends Lily and Nell went to Thorpe Park to celebrate, and it was amazing. We had such a fun time and it was the first time I'd actually been on a proper rollercoaster. We went on loads of rides but Stealth was one of my favourites, and although the sun never actually came out, we went on a water ride and got soaked just as it started raining.

My favourite music at the moment is definitely anything by Swim Deep (I AM GOING TO SEE THEM LIVE IN SEPTEMBER I AM SO FUCKING HAPPY) and Splashh because they're such summery bands. 

Listen to Honey - Swim Deep

Here are a few photos we took (excuse the embarrassing selfies and my face, thanks)

 

Running round an abandoned theme park sounds amazing, like the scene in Submarine where Oliver Tate and Jordana stay out all night burning sparklers and roman candles. I've been looking at loads of fairground and theme park pictures and inspiration because I think it's all so pretty and cool.

Also, right now I think I am in love with Zachary Robinson, the drummer from Swim Deep. I actually think he's prettier than most girls, he's so gorgeous. Only about 90 days till I'll see him live in London I physically can't wait- just check out dat hairrr and his fashion sense <3
