Sennen and surfing

Hey guys,

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted anything in about 5 weeks but I've been really busy and I'm currently in Cornwall on holiday.

I've been surfing pretty much every day this week, and the temperature has been in excess of 30 degrees and in some places over 40, which is ridiculous because this is England for gods sake. There hasn't been any wind so there is no other way to escape the heat other than the sea, which has been between 16 and 20 degrees. It's nice but it makes me regret bringing my winter wetsuit which is 5:4:3 (that's the thickness in mm, so at the thickest parts it will be 5mm and at the thinnest 3mm). 

We're currently driving up to Newquay to go to a surfboard factory to get my new board and Ellie will be pleased to know that I've finally decided what I want to put on my board! I've been stuck on that since march/April. There's this artist who does these pictures of surf in Hawaii and they're really nice and pretty simple images.

I've been surfing with Sennen Surfing Centre this week and I've got more sessions next week so I'm happy. The surf instructors there are fantastic, and if you are looking for somewhere to learn to surf I would highly recommend sennen! After going there for 3 years in a row I have a lot of banter with the surf instructors, the topic this year is mostly my purple (now lilac because of the sun) hair which has one of the surf instructors borrowing my hair dye. Last year it was one of the instructor's hair (it looks like Justin bieber's hair). Yesterday I had to take the warm up session with another girl to see if we had what it takes to be a surf instructor, apparently we do!

I'm getting a Penny Skateboard and I think I'm going to get a white deck, turquoise wheels and either black or white trucks? (I believe that's what they're called).

I'm really excited because my parents are looking at cottages over here as holiday homes, so I can come back every summer and go surfing which is sick! Next year I'll be able to drive so my mum is making me do an advanced driving test so that I'll be able to drive over here. 

Speak to you soon!

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! WOOHOO :D

Hey!

How have you guys been? So, I logged onto my blog this evening after finishing my last of 20 exams to find that after only 4 posts I already had 69 page views (which in itself is pretty funny) but I also noticed that you guys aren't just from Guernsey, Jersey, the USA or other English speaking countries. You guys are all over the world. Which is amazing and I know that 69 page views really isn't much but to me it means everything that 69 people are even remotely interested in what I have to say about life.

This is only this week but it's still amazing!

In case you didn't read the first line you'll get that I finished taking my GCSEs today and after 20 exams I definitely want that well deserved rest! Hopefully the summer holidays will be good and I

will get to spend loads of time with my friends and the people that really matter to me. Summer is going to be awesome and I cant wait to share my experiences with you! I'm going on holiday to Cornwall this year to go surfing along the amazing beaches there, plus a few visits to Jersey in between that, I'll also be going to London twice this summer once for an appointment and again in August where I shall be exploring London with my parents. I might be going again for New Years but that's way into the future. So you guys tell me, how are you going to be spending your summer?
