On Wednesday I left work early and headed up to London to meet Laura at leister square. We then headed up to Camden to see a band we loved as teens, Jack of Jill!
We also meet up with Emil as we haven't seen him in YEARS! and a friend of Laura's from online too that I hadn't meet.
We grabbed some grub and headed to the gig, there were 2 support bands so we hung around upstairs having a chat and then headed down stairs. The band came on and I did really enjoy it, it was a little bit strange as my tastes in music and style have changed a lot over the years. I'm more of a soft banjo playing Mumford fan, rather than lots of angry screaming. I have also swapped my black baggy clothes for more cutesy colourful dresses. However I am glad I went to see them as I would of given my right arm to see them as a teenager. I haven't been to a gig like that in such a long time and seeing friends from years ago was like I was thrown back 10 years ago!
Then on Friday I had a half day from work ready to go to Tulley's farm! I've been looking forward to this all year!
I picked out my Iron Fist dress to wear as it is the ‘spookiest’ dress I owned with little butterfly skulls on it! Unfortunately it doesn’t fit that well anymore alas but I thought it still made quite a cute outfit! I wore a pumpkin hair clips (which disappeared somewhere in the haunts pretty early on alas) and my flashing badge I got in Tiger a few weeks ago!
I made dinner for me and my Mam and we headed off about 5pm. I decided to go early because last year Sarah and I got there around 7:30 and there were big queues and we didn't have chance to do it all! So we got there for opening.
I was surprisingly quiet! Actually really quiet. We got into the first haunt which was a circus themed one almost straight away! It was quiet nerve wracking waiting to get in and I was suddenly hit with the memories of how scary it could be from the year before. I didn’t need to worry though it was hilarious and I have a great time. My Mum like my sister didn’t enjoy the ‘balloon’ bit where you squeeze through inflatable walls and she had a little moment at the Hunted house where we had to step outside for a moment but she recovered quickly!
I thought yeah take my mum she will be brave and protect me,
I was WRONG and instead she shoved me in front and did more screaming and
running away that me! Haha! It was great fun though. I don’t think it got
properly busy until about 8:30pm and that’s when we were coming to an end. It
was nice not having to queue for so long for each haunt!
I then braved the last one on my own which involved having a
bag on my head in the dark. I missed it last year and was determined to do it
this time! It wasn’t too bad actually, the scariest part was being on my own at
the back scared I would get left behind and get lost!
I thought we would be back about midnight but as we got
there so early I was home about 9:30pm… that was the only disappointing part
that it was over so quickly as I have having such a blast!
I will defiantly be returning next year and I can’t wait! I hope my sister will come next year and my Mum will come back as I think it would be great to have us all there!
I love the fact that it is scary but so much fun. I ended up
leaving most the haunts with sore cheeks from laughing so much! There was one
where I ran into multiple walls which was pretty funny and I have some bruises on
my legs from running into a table.
So know its time to wait a WHOLE year until I get to go
again! Boo hoo!
