(this post is in collaboration with 'getthelabel.com')

With Summer just around the corner and fingers crossed some sunny weather too, you might want to take a look at this amazing competition being run by 'Get the label', for the chance to win a 2 night holiday in a Wigwam glamping pod. I don't know about you, but after seeing Zoella's blog post about one of these a few years ago, I have always wanted to stay in one, they look pretty amazing!

If those pictures aren't tempting enough, if you win you will also receive a Glamping survival kit and a very generous £75 voucher to spend at getthelabel.com!

Tiree 2013

 I have finally got around to writing this post about my holiday to Tiree. I got back a few weeks ago but haven't had chance to do it so here it is, better late than never!

I had a lovely time, we had lots of barbeques on the beach, and even a bonfire. I found a really cute little cat outside a gift shop called Chocolates and charms, he looked just like my cat but smaller so we christened him 'mini le flueff'. We went surfing a couple of times but the waves were tiny so we just floated around on our boards but it was still good fun, especially because I couldn't go in the sea last year because of my foot operation!

I was given driving lessons off my parents and I was also allowed to drive the car along a grassy track a few times because I have my provisional license now so it was good practice, I really hope that next year I can go with my friend and I am now saving up for a vw campervan (a pretty one) and hopefully we will go there next year and camp by the beach.

Amsterdam Photo Diary - Day 1

I got back from my trip to Amsterdam last Wednesday and I have finally had time to write up a blog post on my trip. I had such a lovely time and I wish we could have stayed longer, these are just my photos from Day 1 because there are so many so I'm going to split up each day into separate posts. We only got to Amsterdam around 5 o'clock so we went straight to our hotel to drop off our bags and then went out for something to eat.

We then went for a walk around the center and took lots of photos of the pretty canals and flower boxes. I saw lots of really cool bikes including this milka chocolate one which I loved! We popped in too a newsagent to buy some water and milka chocolate and I saw 'Cannabis pops' for sale, it seems strange seeing them because Cannabis obviously isn't legal here but it is in Amsterdam, I'm not sure if these were real or a jokey thing though. At about 10-11 o'clock we went to a cute little pub on the corner just down from our hotel ,there pubs are different than ours,  they are quite small and cosy and in the evening they serve coffee and hot chocolate and have candles lit outside. We got hot chocolates and my parents got coffee's and as soon as we sat down this resident little white cat climbed straight onto my knee for a nap! Unfortunately I was wearing black leggings but never mind eyy! She was such a cute little cat and I wanted to keep her or smuggle her up to our hotel room.

And that was the end of day one, we were all really tired so we just went back to our hotel room after that. I will post about day 2 and 3 in the next few days hopefully! I also need to do a ' Car boot finds' post from this weekend but I'm worried people find them a bit repetitive so let me know if you would or wouldn't like to see one. Sorry I haven't had much time to post recently, I am doing my work experience at place that does card designs at the moment and I am there from 9-5:30 so I don't have much free time, but I will be back soon!

Ness Botanical Gardens

Yesterday I went on a lovely trip to Ness  gardens with my family. Before we got to the gardens we visited the near by beach and had a quick walk around and I of course had to stroke and photograph the resident cat! We then went and had some lunch at the most amazing little cafe called 'Avanti', I had a chicken and pesto pasta salad with a vanilla ice cream milkshake and It was so yummy! We then drove on to Ness gardens for a walk around.
The gardens were so pretty and we were there at the perfect time of year because all of the flowers were in full bloom and the weather was perfect. We strolled around the gardens and Sam and I took lots of photos of all the beautiful flowers and we even saw some cute little ducklings, you can see them in the second to last photo but there were flies everywhere. The gardens were so big and we spent most of the afternoon there, and we also spent a while looking at the resident chickens that were very cute. It was such a lovely day and I really want to go again!

I won't be posting again until after Wednesday because I am going to Amsterdam tomorrow which I am so excited about, but I will make sure to do a post when I'm back with all of my photos from the trip! So if you send me any emails or anything I probably won't be able to reply until Wednesday. But I shall be back soon :)
