Hello darlings

I've met some amazing people, gained so much experience and knowledge, i will never forget my university experience. I plan to take a year out to work, travel and have some me time. Then i'll go back and do my Masters Degree.

Movie Day

Hello darlings

Today is the first day in ages that i have completely to myself. No work, no university, no traveling, or meeting friends. So i am going to relax!

I'm going to spend the day having a period drama marathon, eating chocolate and using face masks.  

Movies chosen are: 

(The white fluff you see is my cat Maximilian! Who of course had to be in the pictures)

The Duchess (2008)

A Royal Affair (2012)

Anna Karenina (2012)

Marie Antoinette (2006)

You can't have a movie day without chocolate.

And lastly a face mask, this week i've chosen a Tropical cocktail one that deeply cleanses and revitalises your skin.

One year anniversary....

Exactly one year today my Grandma died. So today me, my dad, mum, brother and Uncle went to visit her and my Granddad's graves.
Here are a couple of pictures that i took of the cemetery while we were there.

War graves, with the names of the men from Bath who died in World War One and Two.

A close up of the memorial cross. 

The Temple, where you can sit and look out at the graves.

Inside the temple with more information about the heros. 

The memorial plaques where my grandparents names are written.

More beautiful plaques and messages from families to loved ones.

I'm not sure what it is about graveyards that i love and feel drawn to. Most people find them creepy and spooky but i find them so beautiful and peaceful.

R.I.P Grandma and Granddad, you're forever in our hearts<3 <3

My trip to Portsmouth!

23/04/2014

Last Wednesday I took a trip down to Portsmouth to see my good friend Jess :) 

During my time there we went to the Mary Rose museum and went aboard The Victory ship.

Here are some of my finds there! 

The Mary Rose

King Henry VIII 

Sir George Carew (Admiral) 

Carew was an English soldier, admiral who died in the sinking of the Royal Navy flagship Mary Rose at the Battle of the Solent during an attempted French invasion in the Italian War of 1542–1546. 

Inside The Mary Rose

The Mary Rose Dog. This dog was found at the entrance of the master's carpenter's cabin. He was a healthy young male between one and half and two year's old. In appearance he looked like a cross between the modern breeds of terrier and whippet.

                 

           

An Archers skeleton. 

The face of an Archer? 

A man in his early 20s, 1.78m tall (about 5ft 10in)

Taller than many of the crew, strong build.

                                                         An example of one of the guns.

An example of one of the guns. Alexander McKee's Diary, the day The Mary Rose was re-discovered.

From the very early days McKee kept a very detailed account of the projects activities.

Next stop The Victory...

This is the dinning room inside The Victory.

                                                                                  On deck.

                                                                 My postcards from the day :D

                                                               And lastly me and Jess relaxing in Costa.
