My Reaction to 'Zalfie' | Fangirl view

Hello everyone!! this blog post is very out of context & may not make any sense but I just need to say my opinion about 'Zalfie' (The relationship name of Zoella and PointlessBlog
First off, I know this isn't any of my business but I just love them so so much, I just want them to know (if they ever saw this) that I 100% support them and agree with every decision they made!

For months and months, my twitter feed was spammed with "ZALFIE OMG1!!1!1!" whenever either Zoe or Alfie uploaded a photo together, and this is why I felt bad for them! It seemed as if they couldn't go one day with people automatically assuming that they were a couple ,when at this point they weren't. Can you imagine how annoying that would be? so well done to both of them for handling it so well!! I have to admit, I did think that they would make a cute couple (which they do) and I'm not denying this, but I had enough sense to know the difference between a joke and an invasion of privacy.

Then about 3 days ago, a close friend of their's called Jim Chapman was innocently vlogging his trip to Vidcon in LA, when in the corner of the video was an image of what everyone correctly suspected to be Alfie and Zoe together as someones laptop background. Bless him, poor Jim must of been feeling terrible for accidentally relieving 'Zalfie' when neither of them were ready to announce it! but Jim (if you see this) It was not your fault and an innocent mistake to make, nobody hated you! If anything, we all were worried that it had ruined your friendship with both Alfie and Zoe and we are so happy that it hasn't! 

Now that's out of the way, this is the actual fangirl view on 'Zalfie': perfect. I cannot even express how proud I am of both of them for handling this sticky situation in the best way possible. I was so so worried that since Zoe has severe anxiety, she would panic to this sudden unveiling of her relationship and I still don't know if she didn't, but based on her 'Zalfie'  post, it looked like she handled it perfectly and I am so proud that she did not let it get to her too badly, because that would have made me and most other fans extremely upset. 

Overall, this was such a brave thing to announce to very hormonal and excitable teenagers and I have so much respect for both Alfie and Zoe for following their hearts despite what their fans wanted, and more like ordered. 
Also, they have asked to keep their relationship private as they want their relationship to be between each-other as it rightly should, and I know that posting this probably is breaking that ask, but I just wanted both of them to know that I, along with thousands of others completely support there decision
and after this post, I promise not to mention it ever again :)
From the whole fanbase, we wish them both loads of happiest and we're so happy that they are happy together :)

Thank you for reading if you did, but I don't mind if you didn't because this is a pretty picky post that could be hard to understand!

Harry Potter Land | Warner brothers studio tour #1

Hello everyone!! so on Thursday, me and my family embarked on a literal magical journey to the wizarding world of Harry Potter in London! I will admit it, I am a secret potterhead & i'm not afraid to admit it! 
The first harry potter film (Harry Potter and the philosophers stone) came out in 2001 when I was 3, so I have basically grown up with flying cars and magic spells, a bit deceiving & disappointing to reality but it was so nice to watch the harry potter grow and finally visit the sets that I spent most of my younger years 'oohing' and 'awing' at!
I'm not even exaggerating when I say that I screamed when I saw the harry potter sign!
((I strongly suggest around now that you once again grab a cup of your preferred hot drink & 2 biscuits!))
*Spoilers alert now, if you are going soon or plan to go soon, don't read!*
 Me and my fabulous mother outside of the entrance!

My very excited self putting my hand in Rupert Grint's hand print! (it looks like I have 2 mutate hands im scared)

 ACTUAL chess pieces from the ACTUAL first film! 

My hand is Daniel Radcliffe's hand print *squeals* 

 All the portraits and pictures of harry potter characters that were in the entrance (yes the camera already came out in the entrance)

I found Luna Lovegood's potrait! After many years of deciding, I can say that Luna is my absolute favourite character because her character is so random but yet wise, I love it! There is also another reason why she is my favourite character and that is because of how the actress, Evanna Lynch got the role of lovely Luna. 
Evanna Lynch wrote to JK Rowling at the age of 11 to look for hope I guess as she was severely anorexic and was literally fighting death. To her surprise, JK Rowling responded in the way a counsellor would, saying how "anorexia is destructive, not creative, and the brave thing was not to succumb to it."
Obviously, this lead to back and forth letters to each-other when eventually Evanna mentioned how she would love to be in a film & so JK Rowling accepted this and said that she could play Luna once she got better! All it needed was a lot of fighting and movitvation from her idol and Evanna beat Anorexia and lived on to play Luna in the harry potter films, ultimately because JK Rowling saved her life and gave her something to fight for! True Story.

Arundel Castle | family day trip

Hello Everyone!! So sorry for not posting more but I was getting stressed over my first shift at my first job (which actually went fine, despite the back-breaking work and 11 hour shift) but now that its over I am feeling relaxed and ready to blog again :) So last Friday, me and my family decided to go to Arundel Castle and see what it had to offer! It was a really good day because when I was younger, we always used to visit castles so it was really nice to relieve that experience. Unfortunately, we went aloud to take pictures of the rooms inside of the castle but around the castle we were. I would recommend grabbing a cup of tea/coffee (or whatever drink you prefer) and a biscuit, lets get started!


 ^This is Arundel Castle, the family who inherited it actually still live in it today, woah.^
 ^ This is the castles courtyard, it would of been a good shot if that tree wasn't in the way! ^
^ this was the chapel, I'm not religious but it was quite nice. ^
^ This was outside of the chapel, I just thought it was a really nice little garden but how do those palm trees survive in England?! ^

^ this was one of the gardens, and honestly it was so so beautiful! It reminded me of the gardens out of Marie Antoinette if you've seen it. ^
^ This was a really interesting decoration because obviously being in a garden it has the nature theme, hence the holly leaves made out of bronze to decorate the pillars, but inside of this little hut was nothing but walls which were made entirely out of sticks, moss and all things nature! It was really interesting to see and it reminded me so so much of the lost boys hut that they made for Wendy in Peter Pan! ^
^ This was a fountain within a fountain within a waterfall and can I please have this garden?!^
^ I just really loved this fountain ok^
^ This is me and my dad! I think I was laughing and he was pulling a funny face, and that's why I really like this photo :) ^
^ My mum and dad, so cute aw^
^ This is the church opposite and part of the garden ^
 ^ this was so cute, a little arch way made out of branch and beautifully coloured flowers!^
^ What a creative way to decorate! Just tree stumps used a plant pots! ^
^ This was such a interesting fountain because the crown on top of the water was being twisted and turned but the momentum of the water, nothing else was keeping it floating, I found pretty impressive^

Well that was my day out! It was so lovely and if you live in southern England you should definitely go and check this castle out! 
I think the next blog post is going to be extremely exciting, or if it's not the next one than it's the one after next! but hope you are all enjoying the sun or summer holidays :)
