Five Photos - The Past Year

I wanted to start a new series on here called Five Photos where I, shockingly, will share 5 photos I've taken. The point of it is to encourage me to take more pictures because I don't enough and I'd like to. I'm going to try and do this as a monthly summary but for the first installment, this is the past year. 


This is from December 2015 the first time I went out after Christmas. There's a forest area near where I live and next to that a bridge over the motorway. Before crossing the bridge we saw that someone had decorated one of the trees. All the trees surrounding it had died and I just thought it looked really pretty and sparkly. 


It took a long time to decide which picture of Eddie to use, there are a lot. I chose this one from when we were in the car on the way to the beach. I love him. That is all. 


This year I did my GCSES. For my final art exam I took pictures of places in Manchester. I don't know why I like this picture so much but it's one of my favourites from the project. 


My mum and I went to Newcastle this year. Something I didn't know about Newcastle is that it has a lot of bridges. Something you probably don't know about me is that I love bridges. It was wonderful. Note that I don't remember taking this picture but I like it. 

It snowed in March which was great. Snow makes me incredibly happy so here is some snow on a tree in my garden. 

Honarable mention to this pig who we met at Beamish. The loveliest pig you will ever meet who just really wanted to be in a picture.

That was the first in the Five Photos series (technically six). I hope you enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to doing this again for December photos.

The Sunshine Blog Award

I was nominated for The Sunshine Blog Award by the wonderful Lou's World. You can find her post here. First I would like to say thank you and everyone should definitely go check out her blog because it's one of my favourites. 


The Rules:

1. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog in your post
2. Answer the 11 questions that your nominator has asked you
3. Nominate 11 blogs to receive the award
4. Come up with 11 questions to ask the bloggers you have nominated
5. List the rules and include the sunshine blogger award logo in your post

Lou's World Questions:

1. Where do you want to be this time next year?
  In my second year at college and hopefully making more videos. By then I think I'd like to have had a haircut and I definitely want to have read more books. If the past few weeks have taught me anything, it's that I want learn more and do more for the things I believe in. In a years time, I hope I'll have done that. 

2. Who is the most important person in your life right now?
  My parents. I get two people because I can't just choose one. 

3. Who is your favourite blogger/vlogger right now?
  Hazel Hayes.  

4. If you could create a superhero, what would you name them and what would their powers be? 
  Bobbie who can talk to rabbits. (I just want to know what my rabbit is thinking and I think Bobbie is a cute name which kind of relates to rabbits)

5. What video always makes you smile? Link it to make someone else smile!
  Who's Billy Goat is This?- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PQrdBsrZVE 
  or Texting Random People with Daniel J Layton

6. What was the last movie you watched? What did you think of it?
  Gremlins which was great, obviously. 

7. What cancelled TV show would you bring back for one more season?
  Firefly. The first season and the film are perfect already but I do miss that show. (But if Girl Meets World gets cancelled then I definitely want another season of that.)

8. If you could be in a movie or TV show (as yourself), which would you most fit into?
  This is such a difficult question because I would be terrible in pretty much all the shows I like. I guess I'd probably say the film X+Y just because of the autism and the maths. 

9. What's your favourite song of all time? 
  Another incredibly difficult question. My favourite song changes all the time but if I had to pick one I think I'd say On My Own from Les Mis. 

10. If you had everything you've ever wanted, what would you be doing right now?
  At this moment, reading probably. In general, acting. In film or TV or theatre or all of the above. When I was younger, I knew that was what I wanted to do and life stuff got in the way. It's like my ideal what I want to do in life but I know it won't happen. 

11. If you had married your first celebrity crush, who would you be married to right now?
  Freddie Benson from iCarly. And now I'm very disappointed that isn't true. 

Nominations and Questions:

I'll be honest. I don't know that many bloggers and most of the people I would nominate were already nominated. So I know this isn't the rules but I'd like to double nominate all the people who already were by Lou's World and encourage you to go check them out because they're great. As were these questions which hopefully they will all answer. It sucks that I'm giving up at this point but I'm nothing if not a disappointment. So what I am going to do is share a few of the Sunshine Blog Award posts I've enjoyed and I hope you like them too.

Again I'd like to say thank you for the nomination. Everyone needs to have a read of Lou's World I genuinely love her blog and writing this post gave me the push and the motivation to get back here. So thank you.
