Swans, Sun and Bubble Tea

I know I know, I've been naughty and I've taken absolutely ages to upload this post *slaps wrist*, but here you finally have it, Italy in Pictures Part 2! *cheers*. 

The first part of this post was ended in a little town called Bergamot and this post resumes a couple of days later at a lake that I have no idea what it is called. I couldn't for the life of me tell you, oops. This is yet again a rather picture heavy post, don't say I didn't warn you.

We spent the morning and afternoon wandering around the lake and the little town situated on the lakeside. It was a gorgeous day and it was such a beautiful place. 

A little arty-farty shot I took.

I have never seen a lake as beautiful. Scotland; your lakes are nothing compared to this.
. 

I found this little duck swimming around and I couldn't not take a photo of him. Shortly after we stumbled across a swan and I took well over 50 photos of it, oops. I've narrowed it down to 4 as I'm not sure 50 photos of a swan would be very fun to look through.

This is one of my favourite photos that I took the whole holiday, I just love the way the swan is just sat in the perfect place, ahh the satisfaction of taking a good photo.

Another arty photo I took, I was having far too much fun with super-macro.

Swans again, oops.

I never took anymore photos until the last day as we went out for a lovely family meal in a local restaurant and it was the best meal I've ever had. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

This was our cheese board and it came with a jar of honey. It sounds horrible but honey and cheese honestly taste perfect together!
I then got so wrapped up in eating that I forgot to take photos of the rest of the food.

These photos of the Alps are some of my favourite photos I've ever taken. We were flying over them and I took the opportunity to put my zoom to good use and I got some pretty spectacular photos. In the photo above you can see a lake in the middle of the mountains, it's beautiful!

My final photo of the holiday was taken in Heathrow Airport of my Bubble Tea. It was a fruit tea with jelly like balls in it and it was very weird. I ended up giving the rest to my dad because the texture was just far too weird.

And there you have it, 300 photos compressed down into 2 posts. I really hope you've all enjoyed reading about my time in Italy and enjoyed seeing the photos. I had an absolutely wonderful time and I just want to go back and do it all over again!

Just a little side note, I'm sorry for my lack of posts recently. I have a lot of tests/end of term exams coming up and I've had to put all my focus into them and my little blog has been getting a bit neglected! I'm hoping that next week I can return to the normal posting days (Sunday and Wednesday) as that's when the majority of my tests/exams are over.

Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you all have a lovely week.

My Weekend in Pictures #1

Weekends are great, you can basically do anything you'd like (within reason) and you have 2 days off from school/work. This weekend I've been taking a lot of pictures of the things I've been doing so I thought I would share with you all what I've been up to. I've decided to make this a weekly thing and post a 'My Weekend in Pictures' every week for a while and see how it goes down with you all. I will still be posting beauty posts but that will be on Wednesdays instead of Sundays now. 

Rambling over, I'll get on to sharing the events of this weekend (please be warned, this is a very picture heavy post). 

Saturday morning started with a cup of tea and the Company mag, that has Zoe on the front, eeeeek *fangirls*.  

The afternoon was spent outside as it was a really mild day. As it was so nice and mild, we took the guinea pigs outside for a run around the grass (don't worry, we were watching them the whole time!)

For anyone wondering, this is Mickey, it took 19 photos to get these two, he kept sniffing my camera.

This is Dumbledore (can you tell I love Harry Potter?) doing his 'why are you looking at me' face.

And this is Buddy, the laziest most laid back guinea pig you will ever meet. He was out for 20 minutes and only moved when he needed new grass to eat.

I also got my inner gymnast out that afternoon, my cartwheels are no where near as good as they used to be *sigh*.

Whilst I was outside, I took a few close ups of a few of the first flowers to bloom this year.

I made my family an apple and pear crumble for pudding, it was very tasty (if I do say so myself).

Sunday morning was beautiful and sunny so after taking a short trip to Asda, we took the guinea pigs outside again. This is becoming a very guinea pig orientated post, whoops.

They had a little game of following the leader, Buddy never joined in though.

Here he is sunbathing whilst the other two madly chase each other round the garden.

 I don't know why, but I just find this picture adorable.

Guinea pigs all inside again, I stayed outside and my inner gymnast came out again, was quite proud of this.

 In case you're all wondering what I was wearing today, here's a quick mirror selfie (please excuse the frizz).

Top- New Look

Leggings- Primark

And just to finish this post, here's a photo of me looking very happy with myself., I don't even know why.

I hope you all enjoyed this post and if you did please let me know so I know whether to continue this series or not. How was your weekend and what did you get up to?
