2012 in Pictures

January

I saw January in with the most beautiful sight i've ever seen! I counted about 50 flying lanterns in the sky, it was like a scene out of Tangled <3 I also went to my first concert, Never Shout Never which became the first of many.  I read a lot, made a shed load of homemade hobnobs and collected a few Christmas trees. 

February

Emily's 12th birthday!! Went to Brighton to see Heather :) 

March

Met and became best friends with Alex at the Meningitis Trust family day :) Saw Lauren and watched Emily in her panto! 

April

Became closer to 2 more of my best friends, Emily and Hannah and did my first all nighter.

May

My birthday month! Had the BEST birthday of my life, got some amazing things then went out for tea with Alex, Emily, Hannah and Emily (and another emily was supposed to be coming just to confuse things even more but em was pooorly :(() but yes, met up with alex before hand and had the best time ever.  Ooo and Regina Spektors new album came out!

June

Met and got a hug off the one and only Kate Nash! She's so lovely and down to earth :) Had a good month at school with guitars on hippy hill, bracelet making and sun

July

REGINA SPEKTOR WITH LOZ.

Best night of my life.  Apart from when she went off :(

Cosplayed as the Doctor and Amy. 

August

This was the saddest month i've ever had for me because I lost Alex, but I also had some good times which included going to Portugal with the Mulhollands! This also marked the beginning of my increase in health which has been lovely and probably the best thing about 2012!!  We went camping with the Simpsons as well.

September

Had my Meningitis Trust coffee morning and raised £700 for the Trust. 

October

Emily H's birthday and the fun ol' waiter Callum who we all loved so we wrote him a note... Heather came to visit and we went to a gig (the day after Joe Brooks) but only stayed for the support act :') (1 of which was ace)

November

Went to Yorkshire with the famalam! Played bears with Katie after going on our bear hunt! 

December

Christmas 2012, fancy dress! This month we had the Santa stroll for Alex, dyed my hair pink, volunteered with the Meningitis Trust (gangnam styling emily/monty duck)

 and basically had a fab time surrounded by family and friends. 

This year has been the best in ages, i've been to so many gigs, had so many good times with my new (and some of my old) friends and just generally had a groovy time of it, apart from the obvious things that happened. 

If you've made it good, and you'll know if I mean you, thank you!! Happy new year :)
