My Holiday in Photos... (/ Music )

I'm going to try not to bore you with hundreds of photos of mountains and trees which I took on my recent visit to the island of Elba off the coast of Italy. It was a lovely trip; travelling through France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Belgium (not in that order though) to get there, but I really did get a bit too excited driving through the Alps on the way, and I took 695 photos :O

Apart from a Jellyfish sting, it was a very enjoyable two weeks: spent eating ice cream, pizza, pasta, fried calamari, listening to music and occasionally trying to exercise when the guilt of how much I ate got too much :P

I have spent AGES cutting the 695 pics down, and here are my 15 favourites...

French Alps...

Lake Como, Italy. On the way home :(

Somewhere in Germany, also on the way home...

Because the journey to Elba took three days, I listened to alot of music and podcasts, and discovered a few musical jems...

V - FESTIVAL !!!

I went to the V-Festival in Chelmsford at the weekend. It was really good, as it was last year :) My hilights of the weekend were definately Pendulum, The Wombats, Example, Hurts, Ellie Goulding and The Noisettes!

Although this was all beaten by the free Vajazzle kits that me and my friends got :P

I also had a Minx manicure before the weekend and I got the flowery Hippie pattern as I thought this would suit the festival vibe !!

I took over 500 pictures at the weekend, however 300 of those photos were of Pendulum. I am definately too obsessed with them. I also got about 10 videos of them too :)

Here are some of my favourite photos from V-Festival ...

I keep discovering settings on my camera, and at V-Festival I discovered a setting which takes up to 8 seconds to capture a photo, which means I can write things with lights and it will capture the whole thing. (Very technical language there :P) I also took pictures of the lights on the rides at V...
