My Day At The Royal Norfolk Show

I went to the Royal Norfolk Show a few weeks ago and had a really fun day!  Apparently I went once before when I was little but I don't remember anything, so I was super excited when I was allowed to book the day off work.  The weather was gorgeous and I took loads of photos (mostly of cute and/or funny animals ;D) which I'll share below.

There was a huuuuge food hall filled with tasty treats!  We bought some fancy cheese and I wasn't able to resist a tray of chocolate covered strawberries ♥

 *squealing at the cuteness*

 I'm not sure if I mention it often on my blog, but I am obsessed with dinosaurs.  There was a giant robot t-rex that swung its head around and roared :O I wanted a dino sticker too but couldn't get past all the kids :'(

 One of my favourite parts of the day was watching the dog agility show.  I loved seeing owner and dog happily working together and having loads of fun.

I spent all day looking for something special to take home as a souvenir and wasn't getting very far, but we came across a glass blower who had made loads of tiny animals!  I was spoilt for choice but in the end I picked a little snake and a crocodile.  There was also a Joules tent too where everything was 50% off and my mum bought a pair of wellies for £17!   

I'm already thinking about going next year too as I had such a great time.  The tickets to the event were very expensive though which is a little off-putting, but I've heard that the prices might be lowered which is fantastic :)

'Sweet Dreams, Herbie'

My brother has been going to a few Volkswagen shows lately and he took my camera along to take these photos.  He's actually restoring a Beetle at the moment (which I am veeeery jealous of haha!) and it's going to be cream with a red interior.  I've always had a soft spot for classic cars and it would be a dream come true to own a lovely little Beetle.

Apparently it's now quite popular to restore classic cars and then buy special rust paint to give the illusion that they're banged up!  I found it really odd at first but now I think it can look pretty good if done well :)  I'm hoping to go with my bro to one of these shows later this Summer which should be fun!

'And There'll Be Sun Sun Sun'

My life has been pretty boring lately as I'm back to working full time for the Summer.  However now I'm 21 I get higher wages which isn't too bad ;)  Plus I get to work right on the coast with an ice cream shop just around the corner!  I've lived on the coast for 15 years now and I can't imagine being away from the sea.

I don't get to enjoy much of the sunny weather we're getting as I work indoors, so I've been reading and playing lots of video games in the evenings.  The new Animal Crossing game was released yesterday on the 3DS and I'm obsessed :D  I always look forward to coming home and seeing how my little town is doing.  I've also been reliving my childhood by playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on my GameCube.

I've been reading the Game of Thrones series too and only have 1 more book to read till I'm up to date!  I found out that the next book isn't being released till 2015 though :(  I think I might watch the TV series as everyone seems to be loving it.  I've also finished watching season 2 of The Walking Dead!  If you have any books/games/tv shows that are awesome please suggest some :D

'Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold'

Earlier this week a heavy sea mist rolled inland and every morning and evening the valley was shrouded in white.  D and I ventured out into it one night to explore.  It was eerily quiet and claustrophobic.  Everything was coated in tiny dew drops and the air was damp and chilly.  I had a hat and gloves on but I was still freezing.  I'm back to wearing more of my Winter clothing now as it's been so windy and cold here.  Come back Sun :(

I'm off to London on Saturday which I'm stupidly excited about!  My family are going to a museum, but I'm off to get a tattoo and explore with a couple of friends.  On Sunday I'm thinking of going to a vintage fair at Blickling Hall (if I can convince my mum to go with me!) but on Monday I'm back to work as it's a bank holiday and I expect I'll be very very busy.  My Micra also has his MOT test next Tuesday, so fingers crossed for him!
