Is it Summer yet?

I am currently basking in the patch of sunlight that is streaming through our living room windows which makes me very happy! Seeing the sun again is like greeting an old friend. I think ice cream and iced tea are back on the menu! Today I just wanted to sit down and chat with you guys, I feel we have a bit of catching up to do. 

Recently I have been listening to the new (last year..) Maroon 5 album and I've been loving it! My favourite tracks have been 'In Your Pocket' and 'Feelings', I totally advise you to give them a listen if you have any free time. As far as school life goes, it has been quite busy but luckily we are on the down hill stretch to the summer holidays and everyone who has had exams or have exams, good luck and I hope they all went well. 

You may remember at the start of this year I created a post called '20 things to do in 2015' and I can happily say some of my aims have been done and crossed off! One of them was 'ice skating' and I have been twice this year and intend to go more! I dragged my friends on my birthday (after a cheeky nandos;) off to our nearest ice skating rink and it was great fun! Another one of my aims was to 'purchase a pair of converse' and I have and I absolutely love them to bits. They are the burgundy ox converse, love love love them! I wasn't going to mention this one because it seems a bit of a curse on the weather but I have built a snowman, back in February when it was so so cold! I look outside now at the warm sunlight and just can't imagine snow, feels like a different world. 

Have you seen Pitch Perfect 2? If not, drop what you are doing, grab a friend and go watch it! I went with my friend a couple of weeks ago and loved it. It was a perfect sequel to the first one and had a great collection of songs. Now I wish I could sing acapella...I may need to be able to sing first though. 

Back in the half term holiday, my mum and dad went away for the weekend leaving me and my sister to fend for ourselves...Of course I invited my friend round, we melted an extra large bar of dairy milk, grabbed cocktail sticks, grapes, popcorn, marshmallows, an apple (a healthy guilt reassurance) and took over the living room. This involved gathering all the throws, blankets, cushions and pillows we had in the house and piled them on top of the sofa bed. We watched The Other Woman (a hilarious comedy featuring Cameron Dias) and feasted on a chocolate fondue. We also played Super Mario Bros Wii (oh the nostalgia) late into the night. You may be thinking; 'what about a house party, huh?' Well, I'm not one for organising house parties that I have to clear up afterwards plus, parents wouldn't allow it...

Sorry this has been such a long post, don't worry the sun is still shining! When I look outside so many plans spring to mind: picnics, BBQs, ice cream, camp outs, walks, vest tops and flower crowns. *Checks weather forecast...* Ah, this glorious weather is meant to end by the weekend, can I do all of these things in two days? I would love to know what you guys have been up to recently and how you are kick starting your summer.

Thank you all so much for reading, 

Love Scarlet x
