Summer Bucket List 2016

Summer bucket lists make summer seem alot more exciting to me. I suffer with migraines in the heat (yes, even in England), heat doesn't agree with my body so for the past few summers I've been poorly, so summer is always a bit of a poopy time for me. Creating a bucket list each year gives me lots of things to look forward to, i list everything i like to do in summer and i can work towards ticking them off and creating great memories at the same time. This year's list is a long one, but as i have finished university ridiculously early, i have 3 months now to fill with fun summer things. Ps, this is going to be a long one!

Bath and West Show 2016

The Bath and West Show is a huge country fair set on the Royal Bath and West Showground, in Somerset. I have been every year since i was a few weeks old, it's a family tradition. On Thursday myself, my Mum, Nan, Auntie, Uncle and little cousin all went for a nice family day out. I had such a nice day, i wanted to share some pictures which captured only an essence of the show. If you live locally to Somerset i would highly suggest checking it out next year, it's a lovely country day and is great for all ages. You can find some of these snaps on my Instagram: @laurasadaydreamer.
