Thank you to Jemima of http://anotherrantingreader.blogspot.co.uk for tagging me!
How many cups of tea do you have a day? Any sugar?
Around 3-4 on a normal school day. I have one English breakfast tea before school to wake me up and then 1-2 cups in the afternoon after school. This is either Lady Grey, Lapsang Souchong or normal tea. Then in the evening, I have a Rudbush, as it has no caffeine which means I won't be awake all night! And to the sugar question, I use sweetners instead as a healthier option! 1 sweetner is fine :) (p.s. I don't have milk in my tea!)
Favourite part of a roast dinner?
It depends what my mum makes. If it is a really nice roast, I love the potatoes or cauliflower and broccoli cheese! If it is a nice roast meal, yet with less in, just the potatoes! And of course, I love the meat!
Favourite dunking biscuit?
Lotus biscuits! Like the ones that you get if you order a coffee and they taste caramelized and lovely!
Favourite quintessentially British pastime?
Having a cup of tea and a scone whilst watching Harry Potter. Oh, and saying spiffing and tally-ho is one of my favourites as well!
Favourite word?
Spiffing!
Favourite Cockney rhyming slang?
Tie up ya scooby-doos!
Favourite sweet?
Those really nice gummy fish that you never seem to find anymore
What would you pub be called?
Tea inn? I don't really know?!
No.1 British person?
Emma Watson
Favourite shop/restaurant?
Shop would be Urban Outfitter because I like looking at the knick-knacks that they have! And restaurant would probably be Wagamama's even though it is not British!
What British song pops into your head?
Jerusalem
Marmite - love or hate?
All the love for marmite!
I don't really have anyone specific to tag but if you do want to do it, go ahead!
Stay happy,
Katie
Dear September...
Dear September,
You seem to have come very quickly. Almost too quickly, perhaps. It was like I blinked and suddenly I am not a little girl in a primary school uniform anymore. I am nearly 16 and deciding where I want to take my life. 12 years ago and I would have just started reception class, without any knowledge of the massive journey that it would take me on. The friends I would make, the experiences that I would have the opportunity to grab with both hands and hug like a giant teddy bear.
But here we are, 12 years later, and my life is taking a path that I never thought it would take me. I have the best friends a girl could ever wish for, an amazing, supportive family and a caring school that I look forward to going too everyday.
You have taken me far and wide, September, yet we all seem to rush through you, as we go back to school, college, university, work. You are a loud month, September. My brain is rushing with new ideas, lists, lessons, music and the lack of sleep I get.
Why do you do this to me September. You go cold on me, stormy, even. It's like you are paying me back for all the fun I have with family and friends over the six weeks of holiday I get during the summer months. And now we are back. Back to where we were. Overdue work, bags so heavy, your back hurts at the end of the day, more than you could possibly imagine, piles and piles of books to read and revise from. Coursework, compositions, classes. Where did all the fun go? It must have blown away with the angry winds that come with this month, because I didn't get to say goodbye, and now I miss it.
One more year September. This time next year, I will be at college, making another step towards the looming future that is the dark shadow beyond the light. But until then, September, lets focus on what is really important. Now. Let's focus on the good things that happen, the bad things that happen and the challenges that we have been set.
Until next time September,
Stay happy,

To The Moon and Back
To The Moon and Back - A Poem
----------------------------------------------------------------
These words I say to only you,
When I’m happy or when I’m blue,
But every night and every day,
These are the words you’ll hear me say:
“To the moon and back,
I love you so,
Don’t ever leave me,
Don’t ever go,
I love you more than the world could know,
To the moon and back,
I love you so.”
And every night, you say it too,
And everyone stops, but me and you.
We look around and then we see,
That life doesn’t stop, for you or me
Stay happy,
Katie x
