She Told Me To Shut Up....| Stories From My Trip To Prince Edward Island,2015

-

I have talked about my trip to Prince Edward Island, with my dad, a couple times on this blog, I think. I really enjoyed my time there. Seeing Green Gables, visiting shops, eating food, trying really nice ice cream, touring, and trying Canadian/American sweets (candy). I tried lobster for the first time, in Canada, and went to a second hand book shop and for some reason one of the ladies who worked in the shop took a liking to me and I left with four free books, which I seriously was confused by... I mean, if I knew what I did I might be able to use my charm to get more free stuff.

My dad had to work a bit while we were there, so on one of the afternoons, my dad worked back at the hotel, while I went to the high street, which was just off the road of our hotel, to check the shops and explore. My dad had given me some money, to buy some things, so I would not have nothing to do. While, walking down the road I saw this oldish lady and she kept looking at me. I tried to ignore her, and walked past her with no problems. Later, I saw her again, and she saw me. I was holding the bag of free books I had just got, at the time, and she looked at me and stopped me, asking me for some money. I, of course, was weary of her and was not really ready to give her some of my money- which I guess was a bit mean- but I wanted to buy things, like souvenirs or something. I remember telling her that I had no money to give her. She looked at me. Frowned. And said, "Oh, shut up!" Before turning, and walking off. I was taken aback by her snappy comment, and later on that day, when I told my dad he thought it was really funny... which I guess it was a little.

But... I did see that lady a couple more times during my stay there and I am sure she frowned at me each time she saw me. She was really weird and I made sure that I never had to be near her again, if possible, just in case she tried to grab me or take my money... which didn't happen, not that anybody was worried, especially my dad..at the time... who was in fits of laughter when I tried to seriously retell the story of the lady.

I have also, already mentioned the story of the young orphan girl who we met, who wrote that she wanted to meet her birth parents, on the "Before I Die.." wall. So, I don't really have much to say about her. But, after she left, my dad and I looked over a couple of the notes people had written on the board and it was then that I saw an envelope that had two cinema tickets inside, which were for that very evening. I can't remember the name of the show, but I do remember I was the youngest in the cinema room at the time, and it was a two people play. I also remember it was about hockey, and I did not understand many of the jokes... which I am not sure if that was a good thing or not, especially with the fact I was the youngest person in the room watching the play. But, I still enjoyed it even though it helped that the tickets were free, and we just found them in an envelope, because I am sure if we had had to pay it would not have been as exciting.

I had a couple more stories in my head before, but I can't think right now, but I will end this with one last story about my holiday with my dad and that is when the fire alarm went off in the hotel on one of the nights. I hated it. 
So, right next to our hotel was a fire station, which I guess was a very handy thing for the hotel. 
I can't actually remember everything, especially since at the time I was half asleep. I just remember the fire alarm going off late at night, and I hate waking up early, so I had insisted that I stay in bed as it was probably just a alarm check or something, but of course my dad made me get out of bed and we left the bedroom and joined all the hotel guests outside the hotel, wearing pyjamas, and just to note not everyone was wearing the most appropriate night wear, especially outside in the cold in the middle of the night. It felt we were outside for ages. I am sure not even all the guests bothered to get out of bed, but everything was fine and we all went back to our bedrooms to go back to bed before the morning came. In fact, I don't think I feel asleep for ages after that. 
But I do remember, that breakfast was free in the hotel the next morning, to apologize for the night before.

So, those are just three of a couple of my stories from my lovely holiday, and I think overall it was one of my favourite holidays. And I really want to go back again one day...
So, if any of my friends are up for an adventure some time call me up and we can go....
I would actually love that!

I know this was another random post, but I hope you enjoyed all the same.
Thank you for reading! x

Not that long ago I would have very quickly turned down watching this sort of movie because I was so sure I wouldn't be interested in them, and I used to be very particular about the films I liked to watch.But with a lot of pushing from my dad and brother, and comments about movies from one of my best friends, I finally gave in and decided to give them a try. And I for sure had been missing out, even though I haven't seen many of them yet at all. But because of this I now have a lot of movies I need to catch up on, so if anyone is up for a long movie night hit me up!  I haven't seen any of the other Avengers movies, because of my selective choices of movies, so I must admit I was a little lost in some parts of the movie as they referenced the previous movies in this one. But I really enjoyed the movie, and I really need to watch the others. It's always entertaining going to the cinema, but I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy the movie as much as I did. And even t...

Lost In Paris?! - Storytime

I can't remember the year I went to this school, but I went to a school near to where I live which was bilingual. There were students from across Europe but most students were Swiss. I didn't like my main class teacher very much but I am not going to be talking about class. Instead, today, I am going to talk about our school trip to Paris, France. The French class I was in my brother was part of too, which had its positives and negatives, which I also won't go into but our class was small because we were one of the "learning french as foreign students" class. So, for this camp there were about six students and my main class teacher came along too, of course, and my English teacher, which was not the same English teacher as my brother. This trip is actually the first time ever I went to Paris, and so far the only time I have ever been. And the visit did not go very well because a lot went wrong. The whole trip was also done in just two days, as far as I r...

Saving The Stranger| Short Story (Part One)

It was a warm spring day and outside the birds were singing. Jessica stood alone in the cold and dim underground station, after spending the Saturday morning shopping, in London, with her friends, and waited for the train to come. The world seemed to be at peace, but Jessica felt strange, as if something bad was about to happen. Something bad. She just couldn't think what it was.  Suddenly, just as the train was pulling in, Jessica saw a flicker of something black to the right side of her. She shrugged, and got onto the packed train.  Surprisingly, she found an empty seat beside a young man, of about twenty. He was wearing a navy blue cap and a black coat, which was strange as it was rather too warm to be wearing a coat. He was reading the Daily Mirror newspaper, and seemed to be very interested in it as he did not look up once. But as she looked at the young man, she was sure she had seen him before. Somehow, he did not look like one of those men that worked in London. He l...
