England for Christmas

Whitney and Rae came to Europe to see me!

Since we were here for Christmas alone, my friend Alex arranged for us to stay in her parents friends guest house, and we had Christmas with her family. It was such a lovely week! We really got along with Alex and her family and all the people in the village! we were staying in Doncaster which is a small village about 45 minutes from Leeds!

The big days we had there-

Night out in dirty Doncaster:

We were warned by all the adults that Doncaster is a crazy place to go out, especially on a Friday. They were like cover your drinks, and stay in groups. They were definitely being dramatic. We had so much fun! We started the night by pregaming with Alex and her sister and her parents and there friends! They gave us so many shots. These adults can really drink! The peoples house we are staying at is Jamie and Claire!

We love Jamie, he is such a good guy, and he really wants to go to Wisconsin!

So anyways that night we were blackout drunk before we even got to Doncaster.

The clubs were so fun, so danced, drank loads and it was a funny night.

Leeds for the day: 

We went to Leeds for the day with Alex, and it is a really cute city, we looked at all the sites, had spoons ( best pub around) and tons of cider!

Christmas day: 

This was definitely my most memorable Christmas so far, we really bonded with this family so it felt like we were right at home, we had presents in the morning, food all day, and such a wonderful Christmas dinner.

The best part was after we all napped from being so full we started playing American drinking games with Alex's parents.

We ended up getting so wasted with them that we played never have I ever with them, we took shots, and chugged way to much alcohol. By the time we went home that night I was shouting " Get out of my moms car" in my shite American accent. It was a hilarious night.

I don't know what it is but i have such a nice bond with Alex's step dad, John. He was just so cool, I really enjoy him!

Friends Christmas party: 

The next day after Christmas, Alex had to go to her dads for Christmas. We ended up going to brad and Kate's house ( Alex's parents friends) and we were blasting classic 90's songs, Clair the shot queen ( literally she is the queen, I have never seen anyone give out shots like she does) was so on it with shots that every one was shitty drunk, and even all the adults were. I was hanging out with all the old men ( I cant help it I love Older dads and they love me).

The adults were writing bad shit on Brad and Kate's car and blaming the children, The dads were twerking, I kissed Claire, had a 30 min conversation with the dads about there sex life, and danced a whole lot. It was a hilarious night!

Manchester: 

I was so excited to go to Manchester! It is a city I have always wanted to go to! It is a very hipster place, it reminded me of Portland, but better. I fit right in.

we went to go see Affleck's, which is a an alternative department store selling club and fetish fashion, new designer clothing, surfwear, accessories, henna tattoos, and piercings. It is located in the Northern Quarter, which is like the student area.

It was a super cool place, it felt like you were walking into a different era!

Next we went into some vintage shops, ate a nice dinner. 

We walked around and looked at all the buildings and sites. 

We ended the day at a nice little cozy bar! 

It was a great day, I also really enjoyed being able to see the North of England because I have only ever been to London and oxford! I loved it. I don't know what it is about England but it has my heart


Over all this was such a lovely time in England. I loved having my two best friends there, and they got to meet Alex, and her family was so fun. I will truly miss them all, it was hard even saying bye to Jamie, hes sucha great guy, but he promised he will come to Wisconsin!
