Skoodle

Probably the most exciting week of my life...

Underwhelming...to see how small Stonehenge looks from the road...overwhelming to touch the rocks at Stonehenge and see that it is really huge!

Wells Cathedral may sound boring, but was so stunningly gorgeous!

Just call me a Jane Austen crazy, but seeing Stourhead (from the movie Pride and Prejudice) was such a highlight! It was prettier than the movie. So amazing that I might have said I would say yes to 99% of people that asked me to marry them there :)





P.S. If you want to see what is going on in my life from a person who blogs more than once a week, check out laurenmgillespie.blogspot.com!

My Favorite City


I love seeing these everywhere.

I feel like I have seen so much and I've only been here for a week! I went and saw Joseph with Jimmy Fallon as the lead, just kidding he just looked exactly like him. It was such a fun show. Then went to another show called A View From the Bridge. Definitely more on the serious dramatic side.

I might have already gone shopping and got some new clothes too...

And went to 2 amazingly old, delicious pubs.

Plus visited my favorite prince at Buckingham Palace.

But, my favorite part was singing caraeoke with the largest group of people ever in Trafalgar Square and then getting a surprise sing-a-long with Pink last night! It was all part of filming for a huge commercial they were filming for T-mobile!
