Week in pictures 003

Yeah, another one that I forgot! I thought I'd post one again as I took quite a lot of pictures this past week of random things.

Trying on dresses in Matalan. I loved this one but I felt the fabric felt a bit odd for my tastes. But Dani's bought it for our second cousin's wedding and I'm sure it looks better on her than on me! She said it fits like a glove, which it actually did on me as well.

I went to Broadstairs on Sunday with my brother, grandparents and uncle, who I don't see very often.We went and had lunch in this little cafe place that was LOVELY. I especially adore the typical English soft drinks. You only get the main brands here so I love drinking cloudy lemonade whenever I'm over. This time, I tried Mandarin and Orange Seville, which was quite nice! The second picture was just one of the beach as I cannot resist taking pictures of beaches. I love the view in Broadstairs, I think it's beautiful.

A funny picture with my uncle. It was really windy so he pulled a bit of my hair to make a fake moustache, but it failed a bit!

A few pictures of the sea where my grandparents live. I adore this view, I think it's stunning, especially when the sky is so clear that you can see France! I had a few pictures where you could see France, but my camera went and formatted them, unfortunately. I also had some lovely ones of my sister when I went to visit her.

I spent a lot of my time in England looking for my favourite herbal tea, London Fruit and Herb! I don't like normal herbal teas as they smell so good but don't taste like it! Eventually on Tuesday, the day we were leaving, I found these in Holland & Barretts. I recommend them for anyone who likes warm Ribena! 

My blossom tree is out! It usually blooms a lot later than all the other trees but upon my return, I was greeted by my beautiful pink blossom! It really completes my garden, I think.

And finally, a silly outtake of my friend (trying to) take my outfit pics ;) 

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this. If anyone else is a fan of London Fruit & Herb (which funnily enough, is made in Merseyside), let me know and we'll share the love!

Week in pictures #2

And another week in pictures! Now judging by this one and the last one, one might be fooled into thinking I lead a highly exciting life, which sadly isn't the case, it's just been coincidental that I had a lot to do last week and the week before! Now personally this one has a few of my fave photos at the mo, see if you can guess why...;)

Wednesday late afternoon/evening it started snowing REALLY heavily, causing enormous amounts of traffic in Luxembourg so my bestie and I (and our respective sibs) went down to our football pitch and just played in the snow like the kids we are. I look really disproportional in this picture because my shorts were slipping down a bit over my tights haha

And here's the picture of my best friend and I which is now my facebook profile picture. Yes, we are the kind that go play in the snow to take pictures.

Then, on Thursday for the first time in Luxembourg history, we had a snow day (at this point all you Brits are going 'PFFF OLD NEWS!', I know you are) and Stef and me took the opportunity to go for a walk and get some nice pics. This here is my favourite of the lot cause of the contrast between the blue sky and the snow.

And here's a picture of my garden on Thursday after my dog had had a little run about (as she does - always ruining the perfect snow! :P) Of course the snow melted on Saturday, so that was a shame...

So as all of you who watched my video know, I did a film yesterday and look who I had the luck to meet (and have a little chat with!) ...Johnathan Rhys-Meyers! I know I look absolutely awful on that picture, it doesn't flatter me at all (especially the bloody outfit they put me in ><) but he was so lovely and he mingled with all the extras, which really touched me, as I've seen lesser known stars (I mean, this is a HOLLYWOOD actor) just completely blank us.

And then finally (now with me in a different outfit) I met Natalia Vodianova, who really is gorgeous in real life and so lovely as well! She's really softspoken and I didn't talk that much with her (my mum did though) but she was also incredibly nice and took pictures with people.

I'm really glad to have been able to get pictures with those two and the fact that they were both so nice blew me away as well :) Oh and for anyone interested, the film they're doing is called Belle du Seigneur and it's set in the 1930's, so that's why I look so weird.

My week in pictures

Way to jump on the bandwagon, much?! Oh well, I've been seeing these on more and more blogs and have been feeling tempted to do it as well, so here's my first go.


Surprise, surprise, a snowy picture. Who HASN'T had snow this week in Europe? This was taken whilst waiting for my bus at school with my mobile. The majority of these are phone pics, hence the bad quality. After all, not every has an iPhone, eh? (this is aimed at Dani, who likes posting her pretty iPhone pics on facebook the whole time :P )

Another snowy pic, this time of my untouched aside from the dog paw prints and if you look in where you can see the reflection of the window, you can see a notebook, which was me studying for French which consumed most of my time this whole week.


Oh hai there, is that a concert?! And wait a second, who's that on the piano? (Btw I'm really proud of this picture - turned out quite well compared to the rest)


Oh yep, it is, Elton John. On Thursday I was lucky enough to go see Elton John live and well, despite Elliot Minor having been my favourite performance so far, this has had to top that. I love Elliot Minor, but well, Elton John is a legend for a reason and Ray Cooper was phenomenal as a percussionist. You wouldn't expect a piano and drums to have that kind of atmosphere, but it did. Our seats were pretty cool as well as we were to the side of the stage and saw a bit of what was happening behind the stage (although it wasn't actual backstage)


A piccie of my dog Molly that I managed to snap before she rolls away/hides her face (doesn't like her pic taken for some reason..). This is her in her 'belly rub' pose, which is what she does when she rolls on her back basically asking for me to rub her belly. I thought I'd post this in case Dani's missing her dog (which she probably is) and to remind her that in two weeks time, she'll see her again (and more importantly, she'll see ME in ten days!)


My view from the top window and this is the snow left over from earlier on this week, although tomorrow it'll be a little bit different as it's been snowing for ages the last few hours which I have a picture of as well (see next couple of pics)



This was today in C&A as I'd gone shopping the same day as my best friend (thus, running in to her mum for the second day running whilst shopping haha) and we were in C&A trying on those funny headbands for a laugh.


Yeah, C&A again and this time, me trying on a silly hat. I think I prefer my beret to this one :P


And yet another snow picture, except here this is it snowing about an hour ago and look at all the pretty snow flakes the flash caught! Hopefully it'll snow a bit more during the night, I adore snow :) Although I don't want it to snow so much that I can't go to school on Monday.

..Wait, WHAT?! She wants to actually go to school?!

Not school in general, but Monday is going to be fun as it's Kleeschen (or St Nicholas Day, as the Belgians and Dutch call it) and in our school, the 1es (who are in their last year - the numbering system goes from 7e, the first year, up to 1e, a bit funny, but I'm used to it) dress up and go around disrupting class. Fun :D
