Hey!

Now, my family are train spotters. Well, my Dad works for a train company and my brothers are hooked on them, too. Where I work is also train-orientated, so I've learned to live with it. Yesterday, my Dad's work did a trip out to Minehead, a seaside resort near Wales, and it consisted of a posh meal upon a posh train from London across the country. And normally, I'd say no to this stuff and stay home, but it seemed very appealing and I asked if I could take someone with me: my dad allowed me to take Aaron, my boyfriend, with me by pulling a couple of strings. Go me!

It was an early start, 6:30am leave the house, so Aaron slept over and we got up at like, 5am. So I was as tired as hell, obviously! We got to Witham in order to get the train into London, and the man who was selling the train tickets looked as tired as I felt. He charged Aaron for a childs ticket (he's 17! bless!) which meant he only had to pay £8 instead of £16. Of course, the rest of my family go free 'cause Dad works on the rails. And when we got to London, no one called him up for it, so, bonus!

The underground was freaky. I've always been scared of it and being on there gives me the creeps. Poor Mathew got stuck on the barriers 'cause he was swiping his card over the top like Aaron was told to do with the Oyster card, when Mathew was actually meant to just put it in the slot! Getting from London Liverpool Street and Paddington was reasonably smooth, until we got to Edgware, where we had to wait for a couple of minutes so the timetable went back to normal.

I know that's a hefty file, but you can see what I'm going on about, haha!

So we got to Paddington, into the last platform to see a big, snazzy diesel named "Tintagel Castle", a place where I want to go next month! (It's to do with King Arthur, if you know me, you'd know I'm into that!)

Me looking like an idiot, haha! So we left at 8:30am, and off it was to Reading and Taunton and Minehead. It was such a lovely day (they took ages getting the bacon rolls to us, but, I dealt!) even though it was tipping it down at Minehead, so me and Aaron didn't get long at the beach. And it rained when we tried to find McDonalds (thank God for my phone having google maps!). We did have a good time, though (:

Especially paddling!

hope all of you guys have had a good time (:

school's coming to a close for everyone else now and it means I'll be out a lot more, too.

BUT! I'm still internet-addicted: like how Panic! At The Disco's new demo has already been played a lot on my iTunes! It's called "Oh Glory" and sounds very interesting :)
