Camping in Cornwall

Believe it or not I actually enjoy camping! Especially in Cornwall with the beautiful beaches, ice-cream and scones...not forgetting the shit weather!!!!!! Out of six days only one was nice..although it was a beautiful day so it kind of made up for the rest of the week.

On the one and only beautiful day Ben and I went to visit the Minack Theatre which was just amazing. It's a massive theatre that has been built on the edge of a cliff, the backdrop for every play is beautiful sea and  a sweet bunch of beaches/coves. The story behind it is unbelievable; Rowena Cade was the women who lived in the house behind the theatre - when she first moved in the theatre was just her garden, just cliffs. Whilst staying there she and a friend hand built the theatre...! If you click on the 'Minack Theatre' above you can read the history at the website.

Here are some pictures of the theatre:

Amazing - From Top

We stayed in Perranporth, a little town pretty central to a lot of nice places. It didn't take us long to get anywhere so we could explore other places like Padstow, Newquay, St Ives.

Perranporth has one of the most amazing beaches in Cornwall (I think) it's miles long and is great for surfing and sunbathing. These pictures were taken during a walk along the beach at sunset:

There is a pub in Perranpoth called the Wateringhole. It's a really cool place, a really relaxed feel - kind feels like an Aussie Bar with dim lighting and sports games played on the TVs. The best part of the Wateringhole is that it's on the beach! Literally in the middle of the beach on decking. 

They do the best carvery:

As I said earlier the beach is a great place for surfing, which Ben loves to do. He even got me in the water body boarding!!...and I'm scared of the sea. 

It was a lovely to get away and explore Cornwall, although one year a holiday with sunshine and temperatures hotter than 10 degrees would be good!

London

I have very exciting news! A few weeks ago I was asked to go to London for an interview with New Look head offices for an intern opportunity with the press office, and I got it! EEEEK! Hopefully I will be working a week in August with their press office and I'm currently planning to work with the marketing department too.

Before my interview I had only ever been to London twice on school trips, so it only involved getting off the coach, following the leader to the theatre and getting back on the coach. Easy peasy. So lets just say I was actually really scared about travelling to London on my own for the first time.

I always thought my first time travelling to London would be with a friend for a 'touristy' day exploring the sites but no. I had an email on the Monday asking if I could come in for an interview on the Wednesday and of course I couldn't turn it down but it meant I had just over one day to prepare myself!

People who live in London don't get it. Which is understandable as they live it day to day but for me London was a huge thing for me to conquer. I had never been on a tube, I had never walked around London freely so for me to travel to London on my own - tube it, train it and walk around Oxford Street was terrifying but I DID IT!!

As it was an informal interview I decided to go smart/casual. You can't really tell in the picture but I'm wearing a blazer which I thought added the smart edge.

I made sure I arrived in London with plenty of time to have a little wonder and figure out where the offices were. I managed to find the offices instantly! They were literally five minutes from Oxford Circus tube station which was great. I actually enjoyed the tube! It was very loud which I wasn't expecting but easy to use - just follow the signs.

I found Hamleys!!! I also found this giant camel in Hamleys...

It was MASSIVE and actually for sale!!!

I stopped off at a shop called itsu which sold sushi and these yummy pots of frozen yogurt. I had mine with fresh strawberries.

I also stopped off in a Cafe Nero for some lunch and to properly look at my map - there is no way you can stand in the street and read anything - you must - keep - moving!!!

I am really pleased that I found my way and can't wait for my internship to start in August, hopefully it will be the start of more work experience and more experience of London.
