Birthday Girl


Last week was absolutely brilliant; it was my birthday! I had an amazing party featuring a panic room, Chinese food and a trip to my friend’s house. I got everything I asked for and more, including tickets to see my favourite music artist, Frank Turner! I can’t wait! Overall it’s been an amazing week and a great way to start my year of being sixteen, and I couldn’t have asked for better company.

My party was on Sunday, and before then I spent the day at the London Marathon. It was great fun, although it was really hot and I started to burn a little bit in the sun. I can’t imagine how the runners must have felt! Lots of people we’d heard of were running, including athletes, celebrities and even some friends of ours. I saw Mo Farah which was really exciting but, although we tried, we couldn’t see anyone else that we recognised because we had to rush off in time for my party.

This week has just been an ordinary week other than that and so I haven’t really got much new news to share. A quick reminder that the mayfair, football match and open garden are all coming up. I hope I’ll see some of you there x

Nuts in May!


I’m sorry I haven’t posted recently; I’ve been very busy over the Easter. My GCSEs are rapidly approaching and it occurred to me that I should do some serious revision!

Today was the dog races I mentioned last time and it was so much fun! The excitement of having so many people cheering on their favourite dog was just brilliant and the room was constantly buzzing. My favourite dog was ‘Toasty Post’ and, although he didn’t win his race, he was clearly having a great time. Overall I only guessed two winners correctly but I didn’t mind because it was still fun to see the dogs running and cheering them on.

We’re not stopping there though; our next big event is going to be a football match at Sawbridgeworth Football club on the 20th of May. It is being run by the local Minister, Gary Hanson, and is going to be a fun, action-packed day full of sun (I hope!), sports and stalls. Tickets cost £3 for adults, £2 for children aged ten and above and free for children under ten. There will be halftime entertainment courtesy of Theatretrain and Tom Dulieu, and all the proceeds go toward my surgery.

Also, this Mayfair, we are going to have two stalls. One will be a raffle with some amazing prizes and the other will be my sister selling slime so look out for us!

Other events in May include: a garden in the local village of Widford which is opening to show it’s spring flowers. It will take place at Elia Cottage in Nether Street, Widford, Herts, SG12 8TH from 12-4. Plus, I’m going to be presented with some money which the scouts have raised through their recent enterprise event, and there’s also going to be a quiz night which is being organised by some local people in Allens Green Village Hall. More details coming soon!

Surgery still feels unreal, which is most probably for the best at the moment considering that my GCSEs are right around the corner. What a big year!
