This weekend my sister Hazel and I drove down to Plymouth to visit my auntie. It's the furthest I've ever driven before and apart from a crazy lorry driver on the M3 it went largely ok. I now have a thing against all Co-Op lorry drivers though! Most of the journey was spent singing along at the top of our voices to some classic tunes.
The next day we got the train to Looe so that we could go swimming in the sea. It was wonderful! Sea swimming is one of my favourite things in the world. After the initial shock of the temparature it feels amazing! It was quite windy so it was hard to actually swim because of the massive waves but I loved it none the less. I think I got a little bit sunburnt as well, whoops. Here's a nice photo of the beach.
The main event of the trip happened that evening. Our auntie was
holding a hippy themed birthday party so we got all dressed up and had a
groovy time! I was able to practise my henna skills on a few people as
well.

This is a picture of Daz the dinosaur, purchased because he is awesome
and to keep the passenger in the car comfy. The journey home was very
rainy. It was hard to see things which was a little bit scary and
annoying. We made it though and I think this trip has helped me to
become less of a nervous driver and to tap into my inner hippy.
