That time, a long time ago, you know, when it was hot and stress free, I can't remember when exactly but it was fabulous.

So it's been over a week since my last blog and in that time I've been at school for six days.
So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to do some last minute reflections on my summer holiday before it becomes just a wonderful, long-lost memory, buried deep under layers of stress and sleep-deprivation.

So I know from experience you aren't interested in reading large essays about my holiday.
So I thought why not set myself a challenge and sum up two months of glorious decadence in 5 words?

Hrmmm, I'm gonna need a thesaurus.

Eye-opening, memorable, regrettable, hilarious, the-best-one-yet.

I think the highlights were:
My mate Jess's very successful charity gig.
My two-week holiday to Bulgaria with Jess.
My weekend away in London with my mumma.

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta.

Reading Festival 2k11!

I've tried to narrow down hundreds of photos to just three of my summer which I love and that are suitable for this blog. It was difficult and I missed out loads of brilliant photos but here they are.

This is the crowd and sunset during Reading festival. It was a glorious and rare summer's evening during Elbow's set. The atmosphere was euphoric and at that moment I wouldn't have wanted to have been anywhere else in the world. Plus Muse were about to go on, yay!

In Bulgaria, we went on a 4X4 trip through the mountains, there were fields and fields of sunflowers which was incredibly surreal. It looked like thousands of people with black faces and yellow hair were staring and judging as we passed by. Quite unnerving really.

This is me and Jess, on one of our many very jolly nights out in Bulgaria. I tried to find the least sweaty, least shocking photo. It was quite a mission!

So that's my summer in a very small and very compact nutshell. Now just to bury it like a squirrel does its acorns and maybe I'll unearth it sometime in the future, when I really need the nourishment of some nostalgic and happy memories.
