well, i went to london with george & aurelia..again. the first time was in january when i went with aurelia and met up with robert, george, and sam. this time we still met up with robert, and it was pretty fun {although was in a totally "chill" mood all night, meh} we went to the science museum & i took pictures of some of my favorite things, including: a motorized tricycle, crash test dummies, a japanese car from the 60s, chandelier made of bic ballpoint pens, & a collection of things about tobacco haha. basically the smokers toothpaste, which i saw yesterday at asda {walmart} weird... anyway.
{the other picture is of our house's growing collection of vhs's} recently added: ghostbusters, jurassic park, labyrinth, big, alien, and back to the future. heh we can't remember. ha
anyway,
whilst i was in london last tuesday, i got a white frilly dress at a vintage store for a pretty fair price and i plan on wearing it on the beach in may! yess. {speaking of, it snowed here yesterday.. april 2 and snow? they apparently never get snow here and when i woke up i saw people walking around outside with umbrellas to shield themselves from the snow. i laughed.
the last two pics are of me and aurelia at an east end london pub with pretty lighting.
hmmm.
trendy? yes, it was.
end.

hey! sorry for the lack of updation but here's the "part II" of the mandy journey. we had tons of fun on brighton beach, including iced cream cones on the pier. we went to a really good place for burgers called "gourmet burger kitchem," which i definitely would visit again. the burger i got had bacon & avocado on it. and they made their own ketchup.. with diced tomatoes..and it was so sweet tasting. wow. i had like 2 dinners off of that burger. yikes!
then we decided to hop a train and visit lewes castle. it was really small {i took a picture of the gate of it.. see top} and we found a door to what looked like a 'secret garden' but it was just private property. we also frequented the open market for some cheap fresh vegs & watched a few sunsets on the pier. aww muy romantico.

the next day {the saturday before she left} we took ANOTHER train to Dover to see the castle used in the film "the other boleyn girl" and it was amazing. so huge! really windy inside probably because it was on top of a hill. i'm not sure how royal women kept their hair decent. sheesh! i like the picture of mandy with the castle. show's how huge it is. i liked the view from the top. noice.
some other pics: mandy in my room. the "clown car" police car. ahaa. makes me wanna be arrested. xx
