Switzerland

My final trip of this summer was a long weekend away in Givisiez, Switzerland, watching my brother and cousin play roller hockey at a senior European tournament. After an exhausting 20 hour coach journey we made it to our hotel and went straight to the rink for the opening ceremony, I was still in my jammies from the journey which was slightly embarrassing! We then headed out to find a place to eat and had an amazing view of the Swiss Alps! It was very surreal eating tea with the view that we had! The weekend consisted of early mornings and a lot of hockey but me and Jamie managed to sneak away for a bit and have a wander into a tiny village and found Chateau D'Affry which was really nice from being stuck inside for the majority of the day! The boys ended up coming 6th, having been knocked out in the quarter finals by the eventual winners of the tournament. This was quite disappointing at first but they later realised that they had done really well as our team is extremely small compared to the others and the standard of hockey was very high! The trip was a lot of fun and Switzerland was beautiful, I'd definitely go back again!

Run River North - Growing Up



I first heard this song on the TV show Catfish and instantly loved it! I really like the lyric 'growing old feels like your giving up your soul'
