Class of 2011

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but yes, the time has come to set aside our freedom from late night parties and sleeping in till noon...It's back to school for most of us and I have to say the thought of waking up at 6.30 for 5 days a week still hasn't quite sunk in yet.  The school dress is out, and the neatly ironed white socks from my mum are staring at me from my bed and the sight of it literally hurts my eyes!!  
But let's not forget the amazing summer we had and for us jersey beans it was festival time mixed in with catching up with lost friends at Jersey Live last weekend, and it couldn't have gone more well!

There were a lot of amazing acts, and Dry The River was well worth the hour and a half wait...

Love Hannah xx

Not all the ads are bad.

Sometimes you find good music in the ways you least expect! Admittedly most adverts are horrifically bad and annoying, but at least some good tunes are played. You may even be able to guess what ads these are from...

1. Gary Nock- Make it better

2. Radical Face- Welcome home

3. Foster the People- Pumped up kicks

4. Tim Myers- Simply Wonderful

5. Fiction- Big things (wait for it to pick up at 1:30)

6. Cults- Go outside

7. Crystal Fighters- Plage

8. Cassius- I love u so

9. The Kinks- Days



1. Mars
2. Nikon
3. O2 priority moments
4. Hellmans mayonnaise
5. Ford Fiesta
6. Brothers Cider
7. Matalan
8. Citroen
9. Volkswagen

Btw, might be worth mentioning I'm not actually a t.v or advert addict, i promise! That would just be weird...

Have a good day, Rosie xxx

The Ride of the year.

The time finally came, the ginghamandroses bike ride(/come dine with me day) finally happened. It was a very cute day overall and helped by the summery weather we cycled and ate our way around the Island, getting lost, crashing into each other and generally learning how to ride a bike again.

Rosie 'prepping' the her delicious breakfast

Keen and ready to start...



Casually riding along the country lanes -'how quaint'



Hannah's FANTASTIC afternoon tea



A view worthy of a photo opportunity.



 A Mexican themed dinner

The morning after : the perfect end to the perfect two days ,bacon rolls eaten on the beach.

Just got back from London so post was a bit late. Bad bad blogger .

Enjoy the summer while its still here

I know I will

God Bless America

Due to the fact that izzy and I were away and Rosie has been dealing with family issues, our blog came to a bit of a stand still last week but we should get back on track soon..

Well, I'm back and what a holiday!!  I am officially in love with America and all things American; the giant monster like cars, their amazingly soothing accents, the heat, their politeness, I could go on forever!!  This time I wanted to experience a real American holiday and completed most of my list of what i really wanted to do:

Ride on a segway
Go to a drive through
Visit Disneyland
Visit ALL of the countries of the World in Epcot
Go to a real American supermarket - super super large!
have the most sugary cereal for breakfast; the one with the free toys and cereal loaded with sprinkles, marshmallows and gallons of food coloring's
see a real school bus up close


The heat was incredible and it got up to way over 40 deg. C and my huge double bed with more than enough pillows was hard to part with in the mornings.  We also managed to squeeze in some well earned shopping, I promised myself to not buy many things as I knew that my wardrobe was full anyway.

Bluefin from Rack Room shoes - on sale

Levi's t-shirt

Apologies...

Sorry for the absence on the blog recently, but Izzy just got back from holiday today, Hannah's still away and I unfortunately have been dealing with family issues as my Dad very sadly recently passed away after a long battle with cancer.

Appreciate your Dad whilst you have the time because you'll miss
him like hell when he's gone. (...Rosie's wise comment of the day)

We will get back to a blogging routine as soon as possible, and

sorry to have such a gloomy post! But I hope you have a nice weekend anyway.
