On the Docks

Hey there everybody! This is a little blog post about the last couple of days, spent with my sexy boyfriend!!  

New Years Day we spent with my mum, step dad, Grandma and Granddad, having the first big roasty dinner of the year. Good way to spend the first day I say!! Followed by a delicious home made banoffee pie, perfect first meal of 2012!!
New Years Day evening, I booked a hotel for us both on our last night! I went on LateRooms.com to check out prices, and the one hotel had a double room and an executive room the same price, so I went for the Executive suite as I have never been in one before and when we got in we both went WOOOW

We had a bedroom AND a lounge area!! Just next to the sofa was a medium dining table, and the TV was a widescreen LCD! To the far right of the photo, just out of view, is the bathroom! All it needed was a kitchen and it would of been the perfect flat for us! We had dinner in the pub next door and then watched movies and things all night, it was a lovely end to New Years Day!

His coach wasn't till 12:30 so we got up in time to get to Gunwharf by 11:30, which mean't we had time for a walk about the local dock yard! Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, a place where the Royal Navy have launched ships for as long as since Henry the 8ths time!!
Since it is Royal Navy grounds, they have police and things around, and this sign right at the entrance, under which my boyfriend decided to check for things in his suitcase. Not very suspicious at all!!

We had a walk round the Dockyards and saw a couple of ships, like this one, the HMS Victory;

The ship was so big I couldn't fit it all on the camera!!
There were a few modern day ships about too, but they were all behind fences and gates, so I couldn't get to see what they were called!! I did manage to snap a picture of one though!

It started getting on a bit so we headed back, and popped into the shop on the way, which had loads of cool things in it like compasses, mini steam engines, hats, figurines ect. I quite liked this nifty hat, but I didn't have the money :P

Unfortunately we had to go wait for the coach then! We managed to take a couple of snaps of us together, because I forgot to earlier in the week!

This was the best photo :P Its because we were in the queue for the coach and we had to rush!! He had to go home then :( Sad times! But luckily I get to see him again in February!! Which is not long, I can't wait!!
Here are a couple of other photos I took, like a photo of the Hogwarts Express' we built out of Lego;

And a photo he took of me at the Bowplex/Arcade we went to too pass time before watching Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (AWESOME). I like going on the Arcades there, especially the shooting game!

And finally, a photo of my boyfriend wearing a Skyrim hat being a scary Dragon Slayer, FUS RO DAAAHH and all that ;)

Scary stuff huh!!?

As I said, I won't be seeing him till February again, but hopefully that will go quickly!! I can't wait to see him again and spend more time with him!! We will of been together for 6 years in April, hopefully soon we can live together!!

STAY BEAUTIFUL

Kitty's Sunny Weekend + GLASS IN MA HAND

Hello my lovelies!! I am blogging today about my weekend! I thought, since I try and fill my days up, that maybe they are worth blogging about these days!

SATURDAY

On Saturday, I had arranged to have lunch with my friend down Commercial Road, Portsmouth. Unfortunately, I didn't take many pictures apart from my out fit haha! We had a look round the shops, she bought a dress, I bought a ring, and we sat and had lunch in Tesco's Cafe, which was nommy! Their cake was nice! In the evening me and another friend went to a LUSH VIP party, which was lovely! I love LUSH and the smell of their shop! It may be a tad expensive, but I think its worth it! Plus, some of their stuff is under £5!!
Unfortunately I had a little accident in the shop. I had a wine glass in one hand (from the complimentary drinks) and had some heels on. My heel caught a wet patch and WHOOSH, over I went, glass smashed, alcohol straight in my face! My eyes stung, that was the first thing I felt! Once I had been helped to a seat, my knee started hurting and I now have a lovely bruise! I was asked if I was cut any where, and at first I was like, I don't think so....then I check my right hand!

Looks worse than it is, they were only small cuts on my hand where the glass had cut it! There was a little bit of glass in there, which the first aider managed to remove and then put some plasters on!

The top one was the worse one, as it looked like the glass had sliced into my hand at an angle! None of them needed stitches, so all was well! And for falling over, the staff gave me (and my friend) some freebies! I felt a bit guilty, so I was very thankful for the free box and the couple of extra goodies I got!

I got a free cotton bag and everything! My dad said, next time, break an arm and see what you get! Thanks dad >_>

SUNDAY


On Sunday I started off the day with a lovely long LUSH bath and came out smelling LOVELY!! My dads living smelt of LUSH all weekend because that's where all my products were! Now my room smells like it ahaha! Anyways, after that lovely bath, I got ready and met up with a friend in Gunwharf. We then proceeded to spend the next hour walking along the sea front to South Parade Pier!! It was sooo warm, but there was a lovely breeze coming off the sea, so it wasn't too melting. The only problem was the fact it was so crowded! Sunny Sunday in Portsmouth? Lets all go down the seafront! I swear, the entire population of Portsmouth was down there! It is a lovely scenic route though, with an old battlement, a fun fair and various other attractions.
Right near South Parade Pier, me and my friend found this lovely little garden, almost like a secret garden, and sat down to appreciate the scenery and eat some lunch!

This was what drew me in at first. I was like, 'Oohhh whats that? Looks like a fountain!' We followed the circular pathway round the fountain and pond, to find a mini waterfall and some steps leading down wards

Following the path down, we found a smaller pond and a garden filled with dragon flies and butterflies. There were a couple of people around, but it was pretty quiet, considering how close it was to all the crowds.

That was quite a small dragonfly, there were bigger ones flying around!!
On a little walk through, past a marina, there is this floating rotten platform. Its been there a while, and so have the pair of swans that are often on it. I think they must of been there for about 4-5 years, and I was glad to see both of them there, since last time there was only one! And swans mate for life, so I got sad, thinking the other one was dead! But they are both alive, yay! I couldn't get a very good picture in the sunlight, but the two white blobs are the swans:

There was a small event called 'Art on the Pier' going on at South Parade Pier, which is what me and my friend wanted to go too, so we had a look round the 15 artists tables and then had a chat with one of the artist my friend knew.
After that, I went home and painted my nails then had a lovely roast dinner! It doesn't matter how hot it will be, I love my roasts!! Me and my dad had it with some lovely smoked salmon, which was delicious with gravy!
In the evening we went to the post office club quiz, which we proceeded to lose, though we did win the Bonus round!
It was a pretty good weekend all round! Got out and about and had a fun time!
What did you guys get up to this weekend just passed?

STAY BEAUTIFUL
