A Sunny Day in Southport

After finally making some plans for summer, taking a visit to Southport was one of them. I mean, Southport isn't the must see, must go to type of place but it was somewhere closeish to were we live that we had never really visited. 

We took the train to liverpool limestreet and then grabbed some snacks from marks and spencer (the best for packed sandwiches) for the 45 minute train journey ahead. Walking to central we could already feel the sun getting hotter which we couldnt complain about really but you know, forever complaining about heat...

After getting on the train at Liverpool central, we ate our snacks and shortly arrived at Southport. I had been looking forward to mostly buying a pink and white ice cream and hiring a little boat haha, easily pleased ey! 

The first thing we did was head to the pier and there were the boats! After paying £2.50 each we got in our little boat with me and megan in the front (meg 'driving') and amy and jess in the back. Considering you could only go in a certain area which wasnt the biggest to explore, it was alot of fun haha! 

After nearly going over the 20 minute limit and megan nearly crashing us into a wooden post, we survived the boat ride... 

We then decided to just have wander around the fair and walked along the pier. As we only had a few hours there we decided to get our icecream before heading back to the train station.

All was going well until it happened. The type of thing you see on tv shows or cartoons. I was obliviously trying to get money out of the cash machine until my friends saw. I had been wearing a two piece outfit handmade by a girl on instagram (not mentioning the shop she has) when the shorts of the outfit had ripped up the seam. They had ripped. I was flashing my underwear. I was mortified. I was about to run to primark to buy some cheap shorts when I was persuaded that we were heading back to the train 15 minutes later and that you couldnt see it when I was walking and my back pack covered it. I had never worn this outfit before and couldn't believe the first time I had worn it, it had ripped. *Que an angry email demanding a refund* 

Despite the whole situation, the day was really lovely and was nice to go somewere different! I will leave a few photos from this day below...
