Life's A Beach

Within the last year, I've found myself in Brighton a lot. I must have visited at least 6 times since last summer, which doesn't sound much. Do bare in mind that I love in London and it's about a 2 hour train journey and 3-4 hour drive. 

Spending all this time in Brighton, I've really grown to love it. There's something about the sea that relaxes me and all the tourists and different characters that excites me. 

Right now, I am sitting on a train, blogging. I'm on my way back to London from Brighton after a very lovely day with my mother, sister, mum's very lovely best friend and her very lovely daughter. 

The day started at choccywoccydoodah. After a walk around the shop, we went into the café and had lots and lots of chocolate, mm..

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get any photo's in the café as my phone died, I did charge it in the arcade after though! 

We then went for a walk across the beach and pier, spending more money than we could afford in the arcade. 

We may have gone on the carousel.. 

We then went on the Brighton Wheel. 

(I didn't capture the couple taking a selfie on purpose but how cute?)

We then played crazy golf (I lost!) before grabbing some fish and chips that might as well of been cardboard, it was horrible. 

Walking back up to the station, myself and my sister popped into Boots and spent a lot more than we should of done (on my credit card!). Haul to come!

Today made me realise that I like trains a lot more than I realised. My dad being a train driver means I get free travel which I never use, up until now. I will become more adventures and use trains more, I'm not so scared of them anymore. 

I hope you all had a lovely Saturday.   

Sundiary #2

♥ This week has been rather bad, I spent most of it crying!

♥ The weather has been so nice but now it's just crap!

♥ I've been having loads of childhood flashbacks, I'm not sure why but they've made me smile (most of them anyway). 

♥ I feel like I've let my mental illness and anger control me this week, recovery is a long, long road. 

♥ I'm back to school on Wednesday and my exams start again on Thursday, ergh

♥ I've been listening to Wires by Athlete on repeat all week. I love it, such a beautiful, powerful song.

♥ Car boots started today, we didn't go because we weren't up in time, haha

♥ I've been doing so much more with my hair, I never really have it up or style it but I've become so much more adventures (I think that's how you spell it!)

♥ My breakfast this morning was half an Easter Egg..

♥ Happy Easter!

Pancakes Anyone?

After my FAILED pancakes on pancake day, I promised myself I'd practice before next year! 

This week and last week I've been home alone with my older sister, who can't cook OR clean, and we've been pretty much living off chicken nuggets and pasta. 

I saw someone on tv eating pancakes this morning and thought 'I really fancy pancakes' so I made them..

I followed the BBC food recipe and changed a few bits. I realised that the recipe said you needed for more milk and butter than you actually need. 

I used- 

♥ 110g Plain Flour (sifted)

♥ Pinch of Salt

♥ 2 Eggs

♥ 200ml Milk (which was far too much)

♥ 50g Butter (again, far too much)

1) Sieve the flour into a bowl and add a lunch of salt. 

2) Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and crack the eggs in it. Then whisk the eggs making sure you mix the dry ingredients in. 

3) Add small amounts of milk whilst whisking. 

4) Whisk until smooth using an electric whisker (if you don't have one, just keep using a whisk/fork until smooth).

5) Melt your butter in a pan. When melted, put 2 tablespoons into the mixture and leave the rest so the pancakes don't stick. 

6) Pour your pancake mix in and enjoy!

You can serve with the classic lemon and sugar, chocolate ice cream sauce or whatever your preference is. I had lemon and sugar on mine with some fruit on the side. 

It is really simple and a lot of fun to flip and make!
