The Sun is Out!

Finally, the sun is shining over Scotland! Just before I go and enjoy breakfast outside with my family, I wanted to say that this is my final post before I leave for my week away as a Puskin Prizewinner! I have no idea what's in store for me when I get there, but I am really excited. Hopefully, I'll make some new friends and keep in touch with them afterwards. I am a little nervous about meeting new people and being open about my writing. Not many people in my class even know I got into the top ten. Hopefully, it'll boost my confidence, as well as my writing skills.

In other news, I personally thought that the Royal Wedding was AMAZING. I don't mean to sound like one of those crazed fans or whatever, but I really did enjoy it, and I thought Kate looked stunning. At home, we had a small get-together with our neighbours, and Mum made the greatest afternoon tea ever! I am not going to lie, we did have the bunting hanging in our dining room, and we've still got balloons up even today. It was amazing how the whole country came together to celebrate it - I know some people thing it's a waste of money, but I think that's our problem. In Britain, we're becoming to worry about money more and more, and for the wedding, at least we got to relax and just enjoy being British. We got to forget our worries for a little while, and realize what was important. We spent time with our family, watched two people getting married...Whats wrong with that? They let us be apart of their big day, and I personally felt honoured. So y'know what? Maybe I am one of those crazed fans. Or maybe I'm just looking at the bigger picture.

Well, I better be going, the sunshine calls...
