10 days in Albufeira

Hello Earthlings, So many people had said that Albufeira is beautiful and that I would love it but I was still a bit wary. We booked to come here last September and I've been so excited about it since so I was a little bit nervous, what if I hated it? But as soon as I was on the coach from the airport I knew I would love it. One of my favourite places was definitely the Old Town but I won't go on about that too much as I'm going to dedicate a whole post to the beauty of it. We stayed at Monica Isabel Beach Club and I can't fault the place, sure some aspects of the room were a bit run down but it was nothing compared to the terrible hotel Jack and I stayed at in Paris so to me, it was luxury. Being all inclusive I obviously took advantage of the food and I have to say the chocolate chip cookies that were available at breakfast were heavenly and I may be turning into one... There was always fresh fruit available and a variety of Portuguese style dishes with some safet

Pre-Adventure Ramble

Hello Earthlings, Today I thought I would throw it back a bit and go to an old school ramble just to keep you lovely humans updated on my life. How exciting can the life of an old woman trapped in an 18 year old's body be, you ask? I do not know but read on and we all may learn something. Of course as it is a Sunday night I recommend a good ol' cuppa to accompany your reading yet you may choose something stronger if you wish. If you read my last post you will have guessed that I have finally finished my A-Levels, you can catch up here , so now I have a free summer (minus work).  The exciting thing is that this time next week I will be in Portugal and I am very excited and can't wait to lounge around and explore and gain about 5 stone as it is all inclusive. I do not want this week to completely drag so I'm going to try and keep myself as busy as I can, I have quite a bit to do which will all more than likely turn into blog posts at some point in time. A big part of

What I Learnt From School

Hello Earthlings, In typical Lia style I disappeared off the face of the earth for a little bit and suddenly here I am. I guess you could say I’ve been a little bit busy with exams and what not and overall being a stressy mess but what’s new? So, here I am returning to my little internet space. I decided to do today’s post as a celebration to the fact that I have finished my A Levels and get a bit philosophical about what I personally learnt from my time at school. Grab a cuppa tea and have a bit of a gander. P.S. thank you for actually reading this post considering I completely disappeared into the realms of the unknown. People who are your friends may not always be your friends and that is okay. This is always something that completely baffled me, I’d hear people say “we just grew apart” and I’d be confused, I didn’t understand how you could go from being so close to someone to then not even smiling as you go past each other. But now I do understand it, I understand that as
