Lancaster Writing Awards (+ tea)

Cutting to the chase: I got second in a poetry competition! Had a nice day at Lancaster sixth form conference, as my first time visiting I found the staff to be enthusiastic, and the uni to be really nice. Extremely modern, with lovely grounds and everything but honestly it put me off applying because I just don't think a campus uni lifestyle is for me. I think I'd like a city more. I need buzz I need freedom!

Went into the city centre afterwards with my mum, found a cute little cafe, selling amazing tea. We then went to buy some of their tea, which they said "oh we have a help round the corner" and suddenly we were in a tea emporium and I was buying a bag of my favourite "Bouquet Royale". Now all I need is a teapot...

Very photo heavy today!

All in all I had a lovely day with my mum (and this picture isn't even fake honest) and it was brilliant to have my poetry recognised by writers! I am looking forward to buying books books and more books with my prize money! Also...my poem is on their website so I'm *technically* a published author, just saying. Historic day.
