My trip to Paris; Maud // Half-term Holidays

Heyyyyy guys!
I got back from Paris yesterday and thought I would make this post about it.
I wrote a blog diary throughout the trip to use for this post so I hope you enjoy x

We have so far been in the coach for around 5 hours and it's so cramped. We just had a 45 min break at a French Service Station and bought a French Kinder egg with my friend as a joke. I haven't had lunch yet as I feel kind of sick. We are due in Paris in around 2 hours. We will then get to the hostel to get ready to set off for the resturant at about 6:30 and then visit the Eiffel Tower. I will take pictures and insert them below. See you in a bit :)

Hey! I haven't had much time to write as we only have three days here and so much to do. We got to Paris and are staying in a hostel. Once we got here yesterday, we packed our things away and and got ready for our dinner and Eiffel Tower visit. (I will insert pictures below). We then took a 15 min walk to the restaurant. The starter was salad with mayo and beetroot. The main course was Spaghetti (I'm vegetarian) and the desert was ice-cream. It was ok but lacked in the French theme. After that, we went to the Eiffel Tower. I spent 14 euros going to the top and it was really scary but was more daunting from below. It got later and colder. We literally had to hug the whole way home. We got back around midnight.
Today, we woke up at 7 in the morning and had to be down for breakfast at 8:30. A roommate of ours woke us up so early :( The breakfast consisted of dirty cutlery and croissants.
Then we went to Madamoiselle Slassi hat maker. I found it really interesting even though I'm not that interested about Textiles. We were expecting to visit a factory but she made them in her apartment so she showed us them in there.
After, we walked around a park for a bit and then went to McDonalds. I got a McFlurry :)
Then we got on the coach again and travelled to a marketplace and got food in Pret-A-Manger. We then walked up a huge flight of stairs to more crepes and markets. There wasn't much more o the day apart from crappy food and bed.

We are on the coach now. We once again went to breakfast this morning. Then we had bedroom checks which we passed easily. After, we put our luggage in the coach and set off for the Pierre Cardin Museum. Unfortunately, they wouldn't let us in so we just set off home. We got our 20 euros back that we had payed for the museum and then we are now on our way to the duty free at the Eurotunnel. I have 85 euros left so I have lots to spend. I am praying that it sells English books. Next time I write I'll probably be at home. P.S. It's super annoying as I can't read on the coach so I'm still on like page 60 of A Court of Thorns and Roses.

I got home yesterday at around 5pm. We didn't end up going to the duty free as we were late :(
It doesn't really matter though because today I went shopping and got The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton and Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys.
The rest of the journey was my friends and I were planning my Harry Potter hemed wedding with Emma Watson. I had a great holiday/school trip and I hope you enjoyed my diary of the trip and all the photos.


I hope you are having a great half-term holiday!
Happy Reading

This is Life: LGBTQIA+// Maud

Hey guys!

As you already know by the title, this post is very off-topic and probably a lot of you would never think to see this on book blog. But I thought I'd write it because this subject means a lot to me and lots of my friends, LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual +)

I am not labelled but not straight(well I'm not totally sure, I generally just don't like to label myself. I just know that I am not straight) and I have learnt to be very proud of that. 
I am writing this post for the readers who may be insecure about this topic and are afraid to talk about it. 
I am going to start with the fact that you should be proud of yourself however you are...whatever feelings you may have to whoever. It's a completely normal thing. We arall Human

Luckily, I have the most supportive friends who always have my back whatever happens. 
This is why I am writing this post, to create an accepting place for you guys to talk. 
People may think that this post is rather hypocritical because I haven't exactly come to telling my parents yet but this isn't because I don't want to, it's more because I am not great at talking to people. 

Your parents will love you whatever, ok if they don't completely agree with homosexuality then it might take them a bit of time to get used to. But they will come round. They love you, they created you. NOTHING will change that :)

Another point is that you shouldn't care what others think. This is you and if they don't like it then it's not your problem, it's theirs. I personally have told only a few of my friends but as I'm getting more comfortable with the fact, I am being open to more and more people. And trust me, it feels amazing to have people respect you for who you are. 

It's not the Medieval times anymore, this is something that a huge chunk of the population face. The scorn of others can be absolutely horrible but you just have to get through and the path will become clear. 
I am so extremely happy that I told my friends as I came to find that lots of them felt the same way and it's nice to feel that there's someone to talk to :)

Sorry if this post was kinda sloppy in terms of grammar and stuff but it is midnight right now and I am really tired but can't get to sleep. 
Anyway to finish this post off...
JUST BE YOU


Happy Living!
Maud
