#16 - Go to Thorpe

Yesterday I went to Thorpe with Heather and it was awesome. The queues were minimal and we went on 10 rides in the end: The Swarm, X, Nemesis Inferno, Flying Fish, Stealth x2, Rush, Depth Charge and Loggers Leap x2.

This is Heather's "I'm-scared-of-stealth" face

Every time I went on a ride my hair became a mane, so I am a lion.

#78 Send a letter to someone

 It may have been to work experience but it counts. 

#32 Do New York research

I did this all of last Saturday and for two hours of Sunday. I'm not going to lie it's exhausting. However, if you want to know where good gluten free restaurants are in New York, comment and I'll reply.

Mistake.

Unfortunately #91 is also go fruit picking. #91 is now fall asleep before midnight. A task that may not sound too difficult for you but for an insomniac, that's hard. #98 is also the same as another thing "win something" so my new #97 is read a book for next year

Wednesday's child is full of woe

Unfortunately there will not be a Thursday's Child post and the co-creator of the train track is on a sleepover. All photo's are taken by me.

Monday's Child
Tuesday's Child

#76 Go Fruit Picking

My mum and I picked cherries and raspberries yesterday and then made 6 pots of raspberry jam today. It's good jam. 

Yes my dress is a little off don't judge me.
