A Best Friend is the One Who Swaps Shoes With You When You Get Blisters...


It is a truth universally acknowledged (fav phase at the moment...) that after any amount of time apart, best friends are the people who you can see and feel like you've never left them.
This truth has never been more evident than in this past week. After a precedent set last summer, (our last summer before going our separate ways for University) one in which we were sure that our lives would be forever split and we would all fall out of each other worlds with nothing left behind but memories, a reunion was just what the doctor ordered... we were back off to the SEASIDE!!!
In defiance of the classic student destinations of 'Napa' and 'Malia' we were back off to the sleepy seaside town of Torbay in Devon, the perfect British setting for relaxation, recuperation and reunion.
Boat Trips, Pub Lunches , Pony Trekking and Private Jokes made sure that the whole week passed too fast and by the end we realized how lucky we were to have found friends like this.

And now for the photo dump...


 (10 cans of Diet Coke later we finally reach our destination...)

 The Girls (minus Nat)
 The Boys (minus Nat- teheehee one of said private jokes)



 Only in Torbay...




 The Happy Couple...



 You know you're too close when you all paint your nails a matching color...






 Steph and her Margarita...
 Jem and he Banana-something-or-other...
 Myself and my beloved vin rouge...

 That's right its a bath bomb that looks like a cupcake OMFG! WTF! ITS SO CUTE!!!! *ahem* ...



 Once again... Only in Torbay...



 AKA...





 Only acceptable with friends who love you unconditionally (or merely accept your nuttiness) -These are olives btw...


 Said 'Homo-erotic tenancies...'
 and again... combined with said need for Nap's and the result of a missed snack time...
Friendship bracelets never go out of fashion...

After a year following our own paths and exploring the big wide world, coming back to the people who know you best and shared the years of your growth proves that you can never be lost if you have found friends like these. (even if that includes the following... Ike farts, Pile-ons, Homoerotic tendencies (much to the discomfort of a said girlfriend), the realization that a day IS planned around a man's stomach, the student budget is never enough, however much Diet Coke you buy it is never enough and sometimes the only cure is a NAP!)
I couldn't ask for better people to complete this voyage with...

Peace and Love x
