Well it feels like an age that I made a post! I have had by 21st birthday this week! Lots has happened - after poker on Saturday Louise, Alex, Tom, Mike and I went kayaking on Sunday. Alex being the only sensible one had a wetsuit on, and although I thought he would look hilarious he looked the part better than everyone else! There were capsizes, rapids and an ill advised rope swing that got the better of Tom. I wish I had photos for this but cameras and water tend to make ill acquaintances.
On the day of my birthday I was told we were going for a hike up a hill for a picnic. Perfect, I love doing that, just me and my family and Bobby came down for the day. Quite how we ended up go karting, roaring round a tight little track with my elder sister there and my grandparents watching (and probably organising a betting ring), I really don't know. Suffice to say tremendous fun was had. I felt surprised from the moment I woke up, with unexpected presents and arrangements from Bobby and all my family.
The next day I wasn't so surprising. Still lovely, as I got the wind in my hair that I'd missed on tuesday. We went to Southerndown beach in Wales, and the photos today are from that blustery excursion. I hope the first photo sums up that feeling of expansiveness when the ocean is laid out before you, and nature is coming crashing towards you.
