The first two weeks of my summer holidays were filled with my Italian friend, Emily. She came to stay for two weeks to improve her English and to hang out with me. We'd organised the trip a year previously and despite only have meeting a few times Emily and I got on really well and grew really close over the course of her visit. In fact I still miss her now and it's been half a year!
Emily came on a school day which is unfortunate for her as she had to tag along to my lessons. She didn't seem to mind however and enjoyed meeting my friends and practicing her English. The first weekend she stayed; she watched me perform the musical 13 with Theatretrain, joined me in celebrating my Auntie's 60th and most importantly was introduced to the infamous app 'Flappy Bird' which of course she ended up
hating with a passion.
The following Wednesday, the last day of term, we went into town with my friends Alex, Charley and Finley where we watched How to Train your Dragon 2 in the cinema. It was a great film and I have to admit I cried. After that we wondered around town where we bumped into Emily (tt) and Jamie from Theatretrain. Alex, Finley and Charley left so we hung round with them until finally we decided we should head home.
The next day was really warm for England so we decided we were going to go swimming in the river. It turns out most of my year had had the same idea so we hung out with them for the most part of the day; jumping off of the bank and swimming over to the island in the middle of the river. It was awesome although Emily admitted it was a bit different from the Mediterranean temperature wise!
The second and final weekend we went down to Exmouth to stay with my Auntie and Uncle in their new apartment and had a great time going out on my Uncle's boat, walking around Exmouth town and trying to push each other into the cold sea when walking down by the seafront. All in all it was a fantastic way to end Emily's visit but it didn't change the fact that we stayed up until the early hours of the morning the last few days before she went home to make the most of our time together.
Anyway, the time came when she had to leave and yes I did cry but I know I'll see her again this summer and we can make more amazing memories together!!!
