We're all going on a summer holiday...la la la...

To lovely, exotic and thrilling...Kent. Fun, fun, fun....*sarcasm*

No, I'm joking. The south east has been very nice so far, and I'm sure it will only get nicer.

Yesterday we set off from home and drove all the way down to Windsor, with only a few stops. Trust me, that is one hell of a long journey. But we got out eventually and had a wander around Windsor and Eton. We got to have a look at Eton College, which I now want to go to, even though we would have to sell our house and we could still only afford it for about three days. All the way up the main street towards the school, there are shops where you can buy top hats and tailcoats and all those fun things that are included in the Eton uniform. Also, on the walk up to the college, we saw someone who used to be in Coronation Street walking back down towards Windsor, where he's in a play with Michelle Collins. That was very exciting.

Then we went back to Windsor and went to Pizza Express, where we had to wait for over half an hour for a table. But it was worth it...even though the menu is pretty much the same at all the branches of Pizza Express, the food was particularly nice at this one. Then we hopped back in the car and zoom-zoomed (when we weren't getting lost) all the way to the Travelodge at Heathrow Terminal 5. Again, it was a very nice Travelodge and...yeah...it was good...

Today we had a huge breakfast at the Travelodge (during which time, I had to be fifteen because kids under 16 got a free breakfast) then drove down to Brighton. I love Brighton. With a passion. It was just awesome in every single way.

Now we're at this absolutely gorgeous cottage/house thing...I don't actually know where it is, but it's lovely. The couple who own it, James and Roy, are adorable and the whole atmosphere is just...comfortable. Like, sometimes you go somewhere and it takes a while to settle in. But here, me and my brother were running up and down the stairs, contemplating using the fire escape to get onto the roof, fighting over rooms and failing at golf on the Wii as if it was what we did every day at home. I actually quite enjoy family holidays, unlike most people my age. No one cares what you look like, you can act like a big kid and no one will judge you, and chances are that you won't see any of the people you come across again, so it doesn't matter how embarassing your family are.

Right, I'm off to experiment with the bath and shower facilities. I'm going to film a video at some point to show people the house and stuff.

Bye
