Some of the summery things I've actually already done...revision procrastination really.

So, really, it's sort of been Summer for a while now, although it doesn't officially start for me until Wednesday afternoon so I thought perhaps, as procrastination from my revision I'd do a little summary of what I've been up to so far!

There's been multiple trips to Hair (yes, I'm addicted, sssh), picnics in the park, and other various randomness, so I shall just give you the highlights, and if you want to see the rest, take a trip to my Flickr > http://www.flickr.com/photos/xcarlie_x/sets/72157624049691379/


I went to see Hair with my Mum, but can't remember whether this came before or after Shropshire! haha!

Back in London, on May the first some of my friends and I decided to queue for Hair day tickets!

We met Louie Spence walking down the street outside Pineapple Studios! Oh yes!

WE MET LOUIE SPENCE IN THE STREET!

It was my second time seeing the show and it was incredible, and it was so great to see it with a group of friends and being able to dance on stage with them all at the end. That's Gavin Creel in the background!

With Tom, Stacie & Caro. The encore went on for absolutely ages!

Yep, Hair again! Third time! This time with Milly!

Looking very pale next to Will Swenson at the Stage Door. I had played his "Mom" that night...if you don't know what that means...see the show!

The next day, Milly and I toddled of to Covent Garden from some brunch and funsies. We had Macarons for the first time from the food market that was there. They were mango, lemon, raspberry, chocolate, caramel, green tea, pistachio, lavender and vanilla flavoured!

We then walked back past the Gielgud and spotted a bit of a photo opportunity!

There have been many revision picnics in the park as well! This is Hyde Park

I'll stop now!! I'm getting all mixed up with my pics! There'll be more writing next, I promise!

I've decided to do this blog after being inspired by Allison Guinn documenting her time in London in a blog here >> http://alliguinn.blogspot.com/

I've got two more exams to go before I'm free for the summer, and it'll all be over by Wednesday afternoon. After working so hard all year in my first year of uni, I shall be packing as much as possible into my summer hols and I refuse to be bored! I hope to add as many pictures as possible.....dodgy camera allowing...! So follow me for some summer sun and adventures and I'm open for suggestions for places to go....preferably free! I live in London so I'm sure there must be a heap of things that I haven't checked out yet and would probably love!

I'll report back when my exams are done...I'm off to drag myself back to some French revision...Poetry in fact, yum.
