Last week LOG and myself went to the O2 to see Kings of Leon.

Oh. My. God. Amazing just doesn’t cover it. Awe inspiring might though.
I was warned that the Upper tier at the O2 was high, but nothing prepared me for just how high – or steep! I was terrified and daren’t move out of my seat the whole time. There we’re people around us dancing and jumping around without a care for their personal safety and there I was clinging to my seat for all I was worth!!

But anyway, back to the beautiful KOL. And beautiful they are too. Although I forgot my glasses and couldn’t really see anything until they put the screens on!

They opened with Closer and Crawl then headed back to Youth & Young Manhood, Aha Shake Heartbreak and Because of the Times for a selection of their greatest tracks. They covered Taper Jean Girl, Milk, Mollys Chamber, Call Me and my personal favourite Four Kicks, to name a few! Cold Desert was also a real high for me, I just love that song.
Four Kicks had to be the absolute highlight for me. I could barely speak. I’d been sat there with my fingers crossed hoping they’d play it.

Sex on Fire was awesome after the first few words they didn’t really bother to sing as we were doing it for them! Everyone was going crazy! It must be an incredible feeling to have your song sung back to you by thousands of people. If you only ever see one live act it has to be them. Without a shadow of a doubt (Although I’ve heard that Muse are face meltingly good).

On Monday LOG and I went over to Windsor for a wander around and to enjoy the sun.

It was lovely and hot so obviously the first stop was for an ice cream and a walk along the river. I have never seen so many swans all in one place, they were literally following people up and down hoping for food!

(check out my nervous smile!)

We headed into the town and as usual I dragged LOG around most of the shoe shops!

We rounded a corner and discovered a huge crowd, as we had no idea what the crowd was for being ‘tourists’ for the day we joined in the standing around! It turns out the crowd was for the return of The Queen to Windsor Castle after her birthday celebrations at Buckingham Palace.

We also took a walk through Eton and discovered a shop that went to the extreme of loving pink…so just for all you pink lovers out there here you go...

I’m not really a massive Star Trek fan, however, with all the hype that was surrounding the new film, and the rave reviews about it I couldn’t resist going to see it on the big screen. And I mean big screen! We booked tickets to the Imax in London with the biggest screen in the UK.

After the weeks of waiting (we had to delay our trip by a couple of weeks due to the fact that we couldn’t book 4 seats next to each other until the film had been out a while!) the day finally dawned, beautifully sunny and warm…and we had tickets to sit indoors in the dark for a couple of hours! Great timing!

I’d never been to an Imax before so had no idea what to expect. I almost felt like I was queuing for a ride at a theme park I was that excited! I still can’t quite grasp how big the screen was! It was massive!

Before the film started a man stood at the side under a spotlight and advised us there would be a lightshow, some trailers and then the film. An announcer for a film! Brilliant!

The film is brilliant and I’d really recommend seeing it. It got a bit confusing at one point with all the time travel and several Spocks, but that aside I loved it! The best thing about it is that you don’t have to be a Star Trek geek to understand whats going on and to enjoy it. There’s some laughs, some emotional bits and plenty of action! Simon Pegg is excellent as Scotty, not to mention the giggles at Checkov trying to pronounce his ‘V’s’!
Luckily when we came out the sun was still shining so we walked along the river and enjoyed a beer while watching the several police helicopters that appeared to just be chasing each other around the sky. Random.

Star Trek is definitely worth a watch. The Imax is an awesome cinema experience too….I’m so seeing Harry Potter there!

On Sunday the 12th July i'm taking part in a Ladies Driving Challenge where i will have the chance to drive 3 of the following vehicles;

a fire engine, tank, 70 seater coach, military truck, armoured personnell carrier, combine harvester, arctic truck and many more!

This event is to raise money for Help the heroes www.helpforheroes.org.uk and The Firefighters charity, www.firefighterscharity.org.uk

Help For Heroes is a charity launched in October 2007, by a group of friends and service relations who wished to do something to help the wounded coming back from Afghanistan and Iraq. The men and women of the armed forces would say that they are not heroes, they would tell you that they're just people doing their job. Help For Heroes believes that anyone who volunteers to serve in a time of war, knowing that they may risk all, is a hero. I agree! These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary things and some of them are living with the consequences for the rest of their lives.

The Fire Fighters Charity

Every 30 seconds in the uk, fire fighters are called to an incident , putting their lives on the line, and often sustaining physical injuries whilst carrying out their duties. The fire fighters charity is there for firefighters in times of need and assists over 11,000 individuals every year , providing pioneering treatment and support services.

Please help me to raise money for the above causes....you can donate at my online fundraising page using the following link www.justgiving.com/lovelylaura

I'll be taking plenty of pictures of the event so watch this space to find out how i got on............

Thankyou!!

Me and My boyfriend took an afternoon trip up to Hunstanton one Sunday, the weather was not great, it was rainy and windy.

For those who have not visited Hunstanton, its a seaside town near Kings Lynn, It has a few select shops, a fair ground and a few chippy's and some arcades and like many seaside towns, lots of seagulls.

Me and My boyfriend like going to Hunstanton, especially going to the Arcades, Richard always attempts and win my a cuddly toy from the Crane Machines, they have some me-to-you bear ones (I love tatty teddies) so he was trying to get me one of them as I love them, I think overall he spent about £20.00 ( a pound gets you 5 go's) and no luck at all, and then we realised that he was trying to get me a me-to-you bear that say 'special little Boy' after watching his many failed attempts I thought that I would try and after 2 pounds won myself the something.

So this is me with my great prize....................

However my boyfriend did not go away empty handed he did win himself this very special little red train for a very special little boy. hehe.

However I got to mock him with my amazing Bolt cuddly bear that I won after 6 attempts, Haha little red train in your face!!! hehe.

June 14th saw the return of the Adrian Flux French Car Show at Rockingham Raceway and for once the weather was on our side!

A lot of my work is done behind the scenes so I decided not to don the lycra again this year, but the rest of the Fluxbabes were out in force, including our new additions Emma, Kim, Megan, Kayleigh and Janine, who did a great job considering it was their first ever show!


Laura & I had the best ever experience with Opposite Lock drifting team! These guys were crazy - and despite being blinded by the smoke and covered in bits of burnt rubber it had to be the best part of my day!

The babes spent a lot of time visiting the clubs and handing out some freebies...and got stuck in with the Adrian Flux F1 Competition...All in all I think everyone had a great time...I'm sure the girls will be blogging about their FCS 09 experience soon so keep your eyes peeled...

Finally, I'd just like to thank all those that were involved with the show over the weekend - everyone worked really hard to make the show a success! a big thank you to Gary & Shane for lending us their cars for the Flux Lounge - cheers guys!! and also to all those who attended for making it such a great day!

Bye for now
