Whoops might've forgotten that August had ended and that this was thing I do over here. Sorry about that, but hey who cares that September is nearly halfway done now, let's just look at what I did in August.
THE PHOTOS
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
- This was taken on the evening of our first day in Italy. We were in Rome and hey, turns out Rome does gorgeous sunsets.
- Arrived at the villa we'd be living in for the week and made friends with a horse.
- Ice cream gang.
- There was a festival in our local town of Scala to celebrate their patron saint, St. Lorenzo. It began with a religious procession through the streets, and then a brass band played and they had the most amazing fireworks ever. They sounded like cannons and filled the air with beautiful colours and smoke so thick you could hardly see through it. It was an incredible night.
- Pompeii! It was very very hot on this day and there wasn't much shade in Pompeii so we didn't get to spend as long as we liked there, but what we saw was amazing. It's so interesting to see this town preserved in a slightly terrifying way.
- "We're just planning our pose!" (Still in Pompeii btw)
- The whole Italy gang! Kinda miss these guys.
- Exploring Amalfi. It's a very busy, touristy town, but it was also very italian and very cute. I particularly love this photo because it's at the end of Amalfi, literally the end. You couldn't go any further.
- The view from a pre-wedding party we went to. We were Italy for the wedding, only 4 of the 10 of us where going to the wedding (I was not one of the four) but doesn't mean the remaining six of us couldn't gatecrash the party and take full advantage of the free food and drinks.
- The Rogers family feet on the last night in Scala :(
- Last night in Italy here. We went to a fancy restaurant, met two Australian men who worked on CHANNEL 9 AND CHANNEL 11 WHAT? and had complimentary limoncello. Please ignore how dead my face looks in this photo, I didn't look like that irl.
- Our hotel room in Rome got upgraded and we had a hot tub and a gym in. our. room.
- The Colosseum!
- Annnnd back to England.
- I went to that massive lush on Oxford Street. 3 floors of Lush... no big deal.
- THUNDAMENTALS. These guys were amazing and I loved every second of the concert. They need to come back asap. Also not to brag but Tuka, one of the frontmen, liked my photos on instagram. Pretty rad. (I have a pretty big crush on him btw, so y'know.)
- Hilltop Hoods were the headline band on that night and they were also amazing. I love them and I sang along very loudly, especially when they sang Cosby Sweater.
- This was taken in a secret bar in Bristol called The Milk Thistle. It was like one of the prohibition, speakeasy bars. Very swanky. Very cool.
- Back to Walkabout in Bristol for bundy and burgers.
- Cocktails. I can't remember what was in this but it was really good. It might have been a daiquiri?
- During a cute little pub crawl in London. This was at The Black Lion.
- This was the next pub along, it was called The George and Devonshire. I suuuuck at pool.
- And at darts.
- My sister's moved to Australia and so we had to celebrate her birthday a bit early. This was our breakfast from that day.
- Pro fashion tip: make sure your dress matches the flowers of the place you're visiting.
- The day before she left we went to Chichester Harbour for a British beach day. It's cute there.
- Our feet at the seaside!
