Trick or Treat?

Half-term is coming up or has already started for some, so I thought I'd make a list of all the Halloween-related stuff you can do!

  • Carve a pumpkin, there's always bargains for pumpkins in superstores so the more the better! 
Here's my attempt I did last year:

  • Grab a friend, or a couple more to hide under, and head over to The London Dungeon Late, where they open until 10.00pm for their fright night (31/10/13). Tickets cost around £20-23 online but cost more if you buy them on the day. 
  • Fright Night @ Thorpe Park! I haven't been yet but some of my friends said it was real good fun. Tickets are usually cheaper if you buy it online and in larger groups, otherwise it is usually about £35. 
  • London Bridge Experience- Phobophobia WARNING: This Halloween event has been voted London's top scare attraction and it looks pretty scary, so if you're one of those faint-hearted people-please do not go! Here's a link to check it out for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IdYCQiIQ38I Tickets usually go for £23 but be sure to check online.
  • Go trick-or-treating with your friends, just remember to leave the eggs at home...
Or be a complete chicken and stay at home watching Mean Girls!

Happy Halloween!

Lourdes 2013



In the last week of July, three of us went to work as RedCaps in Lourdes, South France.  RedCaps are a large group of young volunteers who help the elderly or infirm pilgrims in Lourdes. It is their job to push wheel chairs during procession and to take them to different masses or even have a cup of coffee in the café if your malade (old person) fancies it!

Although at times it was hard pushing up and down the hills of the Pyrenees where Lourdes is located, and it was a torturous 20 hour coach ride and there were emotional ups and down (plus quite a few tears one particular night) it was an amazing experience that will stay with me for a lifetime.
