Toulouse
So, I haven't got into this blogging business like I thought I would but I'm going to soldier on with it! I've had a lovely holiday so far and frankly the weather is far too nice outside to sit inside wittering away on here!
So the next leg of my hols began in Toulouse, it all went swimmingly...apart from the fact that the French air traffic control decided to strike just as we were about to leave and we ending up the first flight that didn't make it back to England. This was the first time I'd been abroad with only my friends, and frankly we panicked! It was so stressful! It was about midnight in France and the weather was horrible and we were all plagued by visions of us having to sleep on the street because we wouldn't be able to find a hotel by ourselves and already started thinking about getting the TGV to Paris to get the Eurostar home. Thankfully, it didn't come to that! Easyjet were amazing, got us on a flight the next day and room in a verrrry swanky hotel with breakfast and lunch all sorted for us! Shame we only got about 4 hours in the hotel and had to get up at 5 but it was all fun times anyway! It was all good really and a good chance to figure out what to do by ourselves without actually getting stuck anywhere to awful or anything! One thing that did ruin it however was, while we were all in the very stressed stage and Claire and I managed to get separated from Adele and Katy on the way to the booking desk. Claire and I decided to get in the queue and wait for them and luckily Adele and Katy found us after not too long, and slipping into the queue with us. The guy behind us decided to be an idiot and said something like " I think you'll find that's the back of the queue" (we were all about ready to cry at this point and did not want to end up on different flights or having to get taxis or hotels by ourselves) thankfully Claire saved us by saying we were travelling together and did he really want to split up four girls in a foreign country. I hope his wife who was stood next to him and didn't say anything was ashamed. What a fool. Thankfully the rest of the people on the flight thought so too and were all lovely and equally pissed off as us as the idiot continued to push his way to the front of the queue for everything. *headdesk*
ANYWAY. It didn't ruin our brilliant holiday! We had some great times and many hugely funny moments! I got photo-bombed on the first day, had many funny encounters with random French people and other tourists and to top it all off, Claire fell on her arse in the middle of the Capitol (Sorry Claire, it was funny though). Toulouse is a brilliant city. On the first night we arrived it seemed awfully quiet, which we eventually realised was down to the fact that it was raining and the Toulousan's (NOT Toulousians!) just don't do rain! Luckily it didn't rain again until the day we were meant to leave and was actually scorching the rest of the time! We did practically EVERY touristy thing available and visited every single market in the city! So many good breakfasts were had from the markets, I'm still craving the sweet goodness of a chocolatine or similar. It's just not the same in England. I keep popping to the French quarter of South Ken just to feel a bit French again!
Here are some photos! We took a heck of a lot!

Small yet great beginnings!
I'm going to Toulouse tomorrow! A lot of fun has already been had though!
One of the most amusing was going to see the filming of Graham Norton with Sophie, Milly & Claire....I can be spotted here: ...
We did some wandering around the Southbank, it was BOILING hot! Felt brilliantly summery, today not so much, it's been stormy all day! The rain was pelting down so hard earlier I decided to just stay home and slog on with the packing for Toulouse
By the London eye!
I love the elephants so much! > http://elephantparadelondon.org/
After the filming of the Graham Norton show, with Stephen Fry's hands! (Gosh my hair went crazy...)
The show was aired last night! Have a looky on iPlayer and see if you can spot me! I was pretty obvious right at the beginning...
I tell a lie actually, it wasn't my telly debut. I've been on Song of Praise three times. Don't ask.
Then on Saturday, Mum and I headed over to the Summer of Love festival at Carnaby St to see Hair performing. We were captured from behind! Haha!
The cast were fab as usual, and I particularly liked the part where Gavin took his shirt off. *ahem* ANYWAY.
On Sunday, I moved out of my uni halls room, sad to leave it as it was in Borough which in my opinion is possibly the best place in London to live! Was not sad to leave the bathroom behind though...
After lugging all my stuff out of the room and back home (you would not BELIEVE the amount of stuff I had manage to acquire!) I headed over to The Taste of Spain Festival on Regent's St with some uni friends! It was pretty good, a bit trade fair like, and we seemed to miss out on most of the free stuff. The Paella ran out just as we got to the front of the queue...I was honestly gutted.
Pretending we were in Spain...
Moi, with Rafael Nadal's shirt. Good times.
I don't know if I mentioned the Lyric Lounge I went to, but it was fab, and great to see all these guys again! and relive some Spring Awakening memories!
My dress was rather short....
Anyway, that's about it for now, I need to finish sorting my stuff out for Toulouse tomorrow! My uni stuff is ALL OVER MY ROOM. I can barely navigate it! Stress! Where did it all come from?! Pffttt, anyway! See you on the other side of Toulouse! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
