I apologise for not posting in ages but I have been busy studying
my new university course and have recently just finished my summer placement
which was for all of June and my first proper placement in a school. This placement
was a great experience that I thoroughly enjoyed and helped my growth in
teaching. However, this post isn’t about that but about my 21st
birthday celebration.
Due to my summer placement I ended up celebrating my
birthday at the very end of June/ beginning of July. I opened most of my
presents late in the evening of my final day of placement which were mainly
Harry Potter themed since I have recently got back into it and may have a
slight obsession. This was shown by my cake decorations as well as my
decorations for the Tipi my friends and I were staying in for three nights.
My birthday celebration started at the beginning of July
when we all met at the campsite although some were arriving later than others.
The first night mainly consisted of opening presents; eating my mum’s sausage casserole
once we heated it which proved difficult due to the wind – it seemed to like
blowing out our lit matches; chatting and catching up as I hadn’t seen some of
them since Christmas break, and of course a campfire to keep us warm and
obviously for toasting marshmallows to make smores later in the evening before
retiring to the tipi for night.
The next day was an adventure! Although the morning was
uneventful consisting of reading and playing card games which included learning
a new game Emi brought back from her time in France. Once we had lunch at the
Touchdown café. The adventure began in the form of a nice little walk although now
I have done the walk that’s not how I would describe it. This walk started off as
a great, lovely, enjoyable walk in the sun but ended up with us travelling
through stinging nettles, fields of corn and not having a footpath to follow
plus some horses that came to say ‘hello’ as we were trying to cross through their
field. We ended the day nicely with a BBQ followed by my birthday cake and
ending with toasting marshmallows.
On Wednesday, everyone was feeling a bit lazy after the tiring
events from the day before so we started the day later. Once we had breakfast,
we travelled to Stratford on Avon and went on a boat trip to see the beautiful
sights of Stratford and have a relaxing journey in the hot weather which was lovely.
After this we found somewhere to eat, which for me was a chicken & leak pie.
We then brought what we needed for dinner before travelling back to the
campsite. Tonight, Emi and Sophia made a vegetarian dinner which was different
and the veggie sausages were lovely. We then finished with birthday
cake and toasting marshmallows.
The final morning was spent packing up all our stuff and
singing ‘happy birthday’ to Trevyn as it was her birthday. We also stuck a
sparkler candle in a muffin at breakfast for her. Once breakfast was over we
made sure we had all our stuff and got into the two cars for traveling back to
mine to unload my stuff before my friends travelled home.
This concludes my birthday celebration which was great and I
had a wonderful time.
