That Girl with that Blog

Hello Earthlings, This post would have been up last week but in true Lia style I left all my holiday homework until the last day of the holidays, I mean my A-Level exams start at the beginning of June so you would think I'd know better by now. But, why ruin the tradition of a lifetime? There is also the fact that today's topic is just too exciting to try and force into a mad 10-minute typing frenzy...but anyway, London! Recently, Mumma G and myself took our annual trip to London for the third year now and it still fascinates me that we find new things every time. For me, London is a truly magical place, I honestly just love it and I wouldn't ever hesitate to say it is one of my favourite places. Starting our adventure off we stretched our legs on the walk off the train to the tube and headed for Covent Garden to sample some fine baking goods from my favourite ever bakery, Primrose Bakery (definitely an important factor into my love of London).

Hello Earthlings, I feel like I have kind of abandoned my blog recently and it makes me sad but at the same time I don't want to rush a post or write about something just for the sake of it so I have just taken a step back and tried to think of some ideas for the next few weeks. You see I have quite a few ideas for summer but it's the whole run up to summer that may be lacking. But anyway, I was thinking to myself about how much I have changed over the past couple of years and then I remembered that about 2 years ago I did the 100 Questions No One Ever Asks so I figured that I could do it again and see if I have changed. So let's go! (P.S. if you want to read the original then here you go ) 1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18 and find line 4. "The queue shuffled forward that slow, it was going backwards." 2. Stretch your left arm out to you as far as you can, what can you touch?  My headphones. 3. Before you started this survey, what were yo...
