I love this country dearly, I can feel this ladder clearly, but I never thought i'd be alone to try...


Hey :)
Happy days everyone, Paloma is back from sunny Spain!!! She just texted me saying she's landed and safe, this means more and more posts on the blog...and Spanish posts! Finally some sunshine on the blog. Talking of sunshine, us Londoners are experiencing something so alien to us, yes, higher temperatures and sunlight. This goes perfectly with Wimbledon, and I have to admit i've already had my fair share of strawberries and cream, whoever thought of that combo is a genius!

Well, here is a quick post of mine and Paloma's farewell ice-creams, the day before she left for Spain. We went to a cute lil' vintage style cafe, round the corner from our sixth form (convenient!), and bought  some delicious ice-cream, yes, all home made!! Paloma got peanut butter ice-cream, how anyone can eat the stuff i'll never know, and I got the luscious salted caramel. Brings back the memories of the beach where the salty air just seems to merge with anything you eat :)

Ooh, I have some news! I'm off on work experience in a theatre, as many of you know I have a passion  for theatre and acting. I'm so excited! Also, i'm hoping to study drama at drama school (if i get in), or uni. I've been to a couple of open days but at the moment, Bristol is really on the cards. It's so quirky with all of the vintage boutiques and tea rooms. Any suggestions?

Paloma and I will speak to you very soon, loads of love, Jess xxx

Wimbledon :)

 Hey Everyone!
Yesterday we went on a day tripto Wimbledon to watch the tennis. Wimbledon is England's biggest Tennis championship and we really wanted to check it out! We queued for a couple of hours in the morning sun and the time flew by. We were ticket number six thousand and something but we still managed to get in which was great! It was so gorgeous inside the grounds and there were so many people :) 

We watched a match on court 19, Troicki v Klizan, it was so exciting and the atmosphere was amazing (even though you have to stay pretty quiet during the match, there were several 'ooohs' and 'ahhs' at the exciting parts in the game and everyone was so nice!)  Also, what made it even better is that I am hopeless at tennis, (and most other sports as well!) so bad, that I can barely hit a ball so watching how fast these guys could hit the ball was AMAZING! But sadly the rain came, and play was suspended for a couple of hours(not that we wern't expecting it, wimbledon is famous for its rain after all!, so it added to the experience :)) Troicki won the game, so we were all happy, and it was a great end to an amazing day!
