Walking On Air.

So far BEDN is not going to plan. I definitely have not blogged everyday, but I have done more blogging which is a good place to start!

Yesterday, Lisa and I took a trip to Portsmouth. Long car journeys are absolutely hilarious with your best friend, we'll always find something to talk about!

When we got to Gunwharf Quays, we headed straight to Spinnaker Tower. I had one intention, to try and fight my fear of heights by walking on 'air'. 

Once inside the tower you are taken 100 metres or 55 floors to the first viewing deck. We had a very sunny day which meant incredible views!

 

On the viewing deck there are numerous information points, explaining what certain buildings are, and the history of maritime in Portsmouth. 

After reading about the different things on offer, and the sights, we decided it was time to walk the glass floor. this was not easy for me as the fear of heights, and falling, plagues me all the time.

Lisa took the first steps. I joined soon after.

It's a very long way down.

We decided to head off for some shopping, and returned free of charge to watch the sunset. I love how the sun made the view look even more special.

Unfortunately for us, the sun hid behind the clouds for sunset, but it was good whilst it lasted. We headed off for dinner and went to a friend's house before the journey home.

If you want to head up the Spinnaker Tower, more information can be found here.

A Camping Trip To Dorset

Hello lovelies, 

If you follow my Instagram you may have seen my last photo of a very excited Tilly on the way to Dorset, and her first holiday. The holiday was a mini camping break for 3 nights in the Dorset countryside. I went with my family and stayed at the lovely Lake Farm Campsite, this is about 20 minutes outside of Poole and is a lovely, quiet campsite.

During the trip we spent most days relaxing on the beach and taking some well-needed time away from the world. Since we were camping, I decided I would not take my phone charger, so switched my phone off for most of the time, I feel that it is so so easy to get caught up in worrying about problems in the world and feeling the need to share every moment immediately with the world that we can forget to enjoy the moments we want to share, so this time off the my phone, and the fact my camera ran out of battery forced me to be still, and enjoy the holiday.

Sorry that there weren't many photos, but technology failed me when I wanted it. 

Bye Lovelies
