Goodwood Revival. Part Two.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this post about the Goodwood revival last week. And as promised here is part 2.

After the cars we decided to head to 'Gasoline Alley' the American swing with trailers as bars and a live swing band. 

As the band played the wonderful songs of the 50's the crowd was bouncing and there was a bit of hand-jiving going on.

These photos may be my favourite from the day, I love the movement and I was waiting ever so patiently for a partner...they never came though. Oh well.

 

 Once the band had finished their set we took a stroll to play with the old arcade games. Where we found this;

Urm Okay? We decided not to test our manhood, but took a look round the other games.

There are so many more photos I want to show off, it was a fabulous day with so much to do. So I recommned heading along next year, book early for the weekend tickets. 

Thank You Goodwood.

Filling in Time.

Today's topic for BEDN is 'Hobbies' I was a little unsure of what to write about, I do have hobbies, but unfortunately I rarely get to do them. I was thinking yesterday what I could write about and it clicked.

Swimming.

Copyright. TimeOut.com

I headed to the local pool yesterday for the first time in a long time, I loved it. I always have enjoyed swimming, and being around water andthe health benefits make me love it even more!

After swimming, I always find myself knowing I've had a good workout without the aches that I get from running. I also find myself having better posture which is never a bad thing!

I have a 'Swim23' membership from Parkwood Leisure, I get unlimited access to swimming for just £23 a month. Bargain!

I would love to get fitter through swimming and maybe even do a 10km swim. Who knows..

Blog Chat.

Blog Chat

Today's #BEDN topic is 'Blog Chat' so I'd thought I'd tell you all a little about my blogging journey and my hopes for The Little Life.

First off; The Little Life is not my first blog, I started blogging over on Wordpress with 'country girl, city life' I started blogging whilst at university to keep me busy and keep my English writing skills up. The blog didn't do so well and I had a major bloggers block. 

The Little Life was born in July 2013, hen I had moved back home from uni with a broken leg and I wanted to develop my blogging skills and networks. I started using Blogger and have tried to blog at least once a week, sharing with you my baking adventures, and fun things I have done, I hope this will continue.

Over the past few months I have  begun learning how to use social media to grow the blog, and connect with other bloggers. I absolutely love reading other blogs, seeing the different genres and the lovely layouts.

The Future...

In my big dreams, I would love to have a blog with readers from around the world and thousands of readers. But, if that ever happens, it would be a long way off, for now, I am just looking to keep writing, keep sharing and engaging with the readers I have. I love blogging, how I can write whatever I want and find other people with similar opinions.

I hope this has given you a little insight into how, and why, I blog.
