My goals for 2018

Goodbye to 2017 and hello to 2018. Now as nearly everyone else on the planet right now we are all reflecting on the year and thinking forward to what we want to achieve in 2018, I have given this some deep thought and decided it would be good to share with you what I am aiming for and want to complete in 2018! Edited note: sorry this is going up so late.

1. My GCSEs 

So obviously this year I am sitting lots of GCSE exams as I'm in year 11. I want to do well and from now until them exams in the summer I aim to work super hard so I can achieve the best grades possible and do well so I get the grades I want and need.

2. Blog more

I know this one is going to be difficult to do around my GCSEs and my main focus should be my exams but I am going to attempt to get at least a post up every month and from July and on you should be seeing a lot more from me as that's my chance to chill out so watch this space!

3. Running

As you may know I am very into running anyway but I want to set myself a clear goal. I aim to be able to run a comfortable seven miles by next December this way I know I have to keep running and not get lazy even during my exams and anything else that might busy me in the coming year. Its so important to exercise its keeps me so healthy in my mind and body.

4. To learn how to drive
So I am turning 17 this year and I want to start learning how to drive in September I don't expect to pass this year as I want to be realistic but I want to start learning how to drive straight away and take my theory at the first opportunity.

Pumpkin Picking 2017

This post is expected every year as one of my favorite things you get to do in autumn is go Pumpkin picking so this year like last year and the year before I went to Beluncle farm in Hoo, Rochester. I went with a massive group of family friends this year and had such a lovely time and enjoyed a lovely pub lunch and drink afterwards. Can we also appreciate the mickey mouse back pack....thank you xx

Pumpkin picking from a field is so much better than rummaging through in Asda or another supermarket and you are supporting your local farmers. I feel like these Pumpkins are priced better as well as you get to the pay stand and there are just people pricing up your wheel barrows and they often will say oh just £1.00 for a large pumpkin which you often pay £3.00-£4.00 for in a regular supermarket. And on top of that its just a lovely day out, so I would defiantly suggest having a day out in October pumpkin picking and you can make a real day of it going out for dinner after like we did or going somewhere local for drinks.

This is Dominican Republic 2017

This year I went to Dominican republic for a family holiday, I stayed at Now Larimar in Punta Cana. I have stayed in Punta Cana before so I knew where I was going however it isn't the sort of place where you go walking around as we were informed it wasn't safe unless you were in specific places with your holiday rep. The hotel itself was lovely and doing the upgrade to use all the preferred facilities is defiantly worth it as it gives you access to more pools, different bar and the lounges which offer more food and drink. Best of all it gives you access to the restaurant called cast a way which serves a buffet breakfast and lunch which was lovely.

I had such a lovely two weeks in paradise and got to have some lovely family time and we were able to join in with all the activities they offered like canoeing and beach parties and dace lessons just to name a few. I included some pictures of the trip so you could see my amazing trip.
