Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Yes, I know. I might be too old to actually dress up, but hey, pirates are awesome!
Here is my outfit for this year:


These are my striped trousers. And yes, Bon Jovi had them too. I can officially say that I have the same trousers as the people from Blaas of Glory. Isn't that something to be happy about (sarcasm) ? 

You can buy these trousers in a lot of shops, like H&M and Only. I wear them with a silver belt, two leather pockets and a plastic pirate-sword :)

My black leather boots are from H&M.
Here is my beautiful pirate hook (don't mind the quality of the pictures, it was very, very dark):

On that picture you can also see my golden earrings, that I got together with my pirate sword. You can but these swords here.

You can't see it on the picture, but I'm wearing a dark-green head kerchief.
The kids that came at our door really liked the candy that we had. We bought milk-chocolate eyeballs and pumpkins at the Sainsbury's in England.
I couldn't find a link online, so here is a picture from someone else:

I hope you all had a nice evening as well! :)

England

"Hello there, where are you going?"
"To Huddersfield."
"Oh, family?"
"No, we're going to visit a shop."
"Ah, you're going shopping."
"Yes. We're going to buy a banjo."
   ...
"I never would have guessed that."



Yes, buying a banjo! In Huddersfield! The Eagle Music Shop is known as the best banjo shop in Europe, where Mumford and Sons buy their banjos as well!
I bought a beautiful red-colored guitar strap from Levi's and my dad has a new banjo! I will post a picture if I'm able to in a few days.

Sorry for not having posted anything for two weeks, but I've been a bit busy with school.
I did make a lot of pictures in England! :)

After staying in a hotel in Huddersfield for one night, we went to the beautiful Staithes, making a small stop in Whitby!


On the picture you can see the lovely Whitby abbey and my new shoes, bought in Huddersfield.
We've walked a lot this vacation and, as you might now, the weather in England is not always that... well, it's mostly just rain and more rain.
So on the first day walking, there was a lot of fog. Here a few pictures on which you can see... well, not much actually:




It was quite scary, though. We were walking besides the cliff and you couldn't see anything at all. This was really what it was like. It got a bit better, later on.




Here are some pictures of the next day walking, mostly from the sea:












Staithes really is worth a visit, it's absolutely gorgeous. I think it's one of my favorite places to be.












I hope you've all had a great holiday as well.
Be safe and keep on pondering.

Aaralyn & Izzy

Their parents raised them right!
In their first audition they look really cute, the judges are smiling and waving at them and then he starts drumming and she starts screaming and their faces are priceless!

Appelpop

I'm so sorry for not having posted anything for weeks (!) , but I've been very busy :) .

I've participated in an exchange with Vechta (close to Bremen) and it was so much fun!
I will really miss all the people :)
Luckily I will see  them all next year when we are visiting Germany.
Just a small list of things I did: I've been to Appelpop again! Absolutely amazing! 
I had such a fantastic day!
Here a few pictures, just a few:


And of course the video's in which you can see my younger brother and a good friend of mine stage-diving! In the first video at 0:45, in the second at 0:10.  :)


And we can't forget the wall of death from John Coffey. It was an awesome gig!



With the exchange I've been to Amsterdam and watched break-dancers, visited shops and saw a lot of interesting touristic places.
Here are the break-dancers:

I'm also having new music-lessons, together with a band! I'm very excited. :)
And in a few weeks I will be going to England!



I hope to write soon, but I'm also having my tests right now, which means: yes, studying...
Keep safe, I'll post things floating along.
