What I will be wearing in 40 years? (Part 2)

I recently went on a school trip with the school which I am volunteering and supplying at, when I had to dress as a gardener from the Victorian times. The whole trip focused on the students, teachers, and teaching assistants to dress as one of the jobs or roles that the day consisted of, such as; guest, butler, farm hand, kitchen maid, house maid, stable person, and gardener. I had actually participated in this trip when I was a student so it was fun and kind of weird doing it again, though this time as one of the adults! It was a fantastic day for everybody with great laughter, good work and an interesting day of knowledge too. And to make the students have a good giggle at the end, all the staff had to act like turkeys, oh how amusing it was!

Due to my job, my dress included as follows; cap, braces (suspenders for my Canadian friends), shirt, coat, sort of a scarf (to wipe ones brow), corduroy trousers, big socks and boots. Fortunately, the hat in the picture was swapped for a much better one that went well with the gear which was at the school.

So, this time in many years ahead, maybe I will be wearing this gear. Watch this space!

What I will be wearing in 40 years? (Part 1)

So, just being me, I decided to try on a couple of pairs of glasses recently. And they are glasses belonging to my Grandad. He was, and always, is cool with me wearing his glasses, just giving them a go. Thus, here are the pictures, one of which I am amazed and so happy that my gorgeous girlfriend thinks I look good in!

An Interesting Read

I recently finished reading a very interesting book called Frankenstein Galvanized, which includes chapters telling the story by Mary Shelley, and then has a variety of commentaries by many different professors, lecturers, and writers discussing themes of the book as well as other wonderful ideas, comparisons and theories. I highly recommend this book, whether you have read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein or not, because I have never read the original and this was an insightful read and a very well written and edited book.

Groovy Van

I was recently in a small market town called Ormskirk with my Grandfather and I noticed this van in the car park where we were. I immediately thought of love and peace and the times of the 1960's! Even though I was not even born then, I still remember seeing old photos and documentaries about that era and I also thought that this was an awesome piece of art as well as a reminder of those 'swinging sixties'. I will be on the lookout for any other planes, trains or automobiles that have a different design and stand out in a great, and in this case, groovy way.

Some New Drinks

There were many drinks that I had to try in Canada and I tried a good amount of them and so I took a few photos of some that stood out to me.

According to Brittany, I had to try root beer because surprisingly to her and her entire family, I had never tried root beer in my entire life. And so, I needed to taste root beer, but not any root beer, A&W root beer! They are known for their root beer and so when they are known for it, it should taste pretty darn good, and it did! It was delicious and lived up to its reputation.

I went out one morning for a drive with Tracey and we stopped off at this place called Booster Juice for a drink for the journey, or as I like to call it, Tracey's Tour Tuesday, it was just the morning, but was a very good tour. Anyway, she was very curious in my decision for a drink in this place which is very healthy by the way. So I chose this green tea mixture, and it is very green as the photo shows, and it was minty and delicious. I chose a small one because I was unsure of if I would like it, fortunately I did. Also, it was a mad choice because Tracey usually purchases this option and all of the family really do not like it, what a pick!

The last drink I am showing is the sweetest drink that I had whilst I was on my visit. There is only one Peter's in the whole world, and it is in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Just by that fact, I needed to go there and experience their famous milkshakes. And not just any milkshake, but my beloved's pick of poison which is a chocolate and raspberry milkshake. It was as sweet as a sugar covered, icing topped cupcake made of honey, jam, chocolate and a sugar base! It was thick as well as sweet, all in all YUMMY!

Lake Moraine and Lake Louise

One of the most memorable sights in Canada is the picturesque lakes of Lake Moraine and Lake Louise. Just the colour of the water is amazing by itself, but when you include the wonderful scenery of the Rockies mountain range and the beautiful blue sky, it is truly a masterpiece. Because of this, I took many photographs of this wonder and so I have added some of the vast amount with this post. It is definitely a recommendation of mine for anybody to go and visit these lakes. Personally, I prefer Lake Moraine because there are less tourists around and so you can fully appreciate the view and the walks around the lake. There is a hotel with Lake Louise whereas there is simply a gift shop to accompany Lake Moraine, which is my preference. Either way, both lakes are sensational sights and a must in my personal opinion in order to see when visiting.

The Beautiful Landscape of Calgary

Calgary has a wonderful landscape and it is very green in different areas which I personally adore because I like to be quite Eco-friendly. There were also some houses that were built high up on hills and so I had to take some photos of this marvel for me. There were some great roads and motorways in the sense that they were surrounded more by greenery than billboards and eye sore things. In addition, it rained very little during my stay and so I had to remember this single day. Here are some of my favourite pictures that I took of the countryside and the landscape of this amazing city;
