A day trip to Kosovo from Tirana, Albania

Day trip to Pristina, Kosovo from Tirana, Albania Whilst planning my recent trip to Tirana, Albania I realised how close it is to nieghbouring country, Kosovo. I’m always excited when I can cross off more than one country in a trip, so I started researching. I only had two days in Tirana, so I wanted to make sure that I had enough time to take everything in before I dedicated a day to Kosovo. Luckily, it appeared that it would all work out well, so...

You can never have a bad night at Wembley Stadium You can never have a bad night at Wembley Stadium (unless you were the drunk woman who fell backwards down the steps next to us and cracked her head open). 

I saw Muse here in 2007 and 2010 and then Green Day last weekend. It’s one of my favourite venues 🖤

I’ve got Festival Blues and I’m already counting down the days until next year! 

This was my first solo festival, first time camping for longer than 3 nights and the first time I’ve driven myself to a festival, so I took a 4 man tent and all the essentials. I ended up camping with the loveliest girls in Camping Plus, we had the best little camp set up and it felt so safe. 

I got to see bands I’d never seen before but had been on my bucket list for 20 years (@bayside @bfs_official @billytalentband @limpbizkit ) and I saw some favourites that I’ve seen before (@creepercult @softplayplaysoft @theused @falloutboy @wheatusofficial ). I also got to see some bands I’ve never listened to before but really enjoyed (@dreamstateuk @entershikari @counterpartsband). 

Shame about the rain and the mud, but at least I learned how to wee in a cup and I didn’t get stuck on the car park afterwards!

MAY PHOTO DUMP 🌕 Saw the northern lights outside MAY PHOTO DUMP

🌕 Saw the northern lights outside my house and it was the most magical experience. 
🌷 I bought a sewing machine and made this dress out of a @thenational tshirt that I got off @vinted 
🐈‍⬛ I was cat sitting for 7 lovely cats, but Bepop became my bestie. I miss his little face. 
🥓 Breakfast on a Sunday morning with my friends is one of my favourite things to do. 
👻 Went to another @thegothsplayground market and found some great independent businesses. 
🧖‍♀️ I was treated to a spa day and full body massage at @hoarcrosshallhotel by a lovely friend and it was very much needed. 
🐱 Just a handsome lad, he’s been so affectionate recently. 
🦎 I got to meet Norbert the gecko after my nail appointment. Now I want a gecko.

🩷 Just after we got caught in a torrential downpour- thank god I decided to buy a new waterproof jacket the day before. 
💛 Head Automatica - while I wasn’t overly impressed, I was chuffed to finally hear Beating Heart Baby live after 20 years. I also stood behind Daryl Palumbo in the queue to get coffee at the service station before the festival. He had a large cappuccino. 
💙 Røry - someone I’ve followed on the other app for a while. I loved her set, definitely going to have to see her at Download too. 
🩶 The Ghost Inside - only listened to them for the first time when the Slammy D lineup was announced, but I really enjoyed them. I’d definitely make the effort to see them again. 
🖤 Asking Alexandria - idk what everyone is on about when they say their set was terrible. Despite a delayed start, I thought they sounded fantastic. People said the same about their set at Download last year and I also enjoyed that. 
🤎 My trusty Salomon boots - I’ve had them for 13 years now and they’ve never seen so much mud. I hope they scrub up okay! 
💙 Funeral For A Friend - we had time to kill between bands and I’m not a fan, but I was curious about the new singer as I’d seen them when Matt was still with them. Still not a fan, but they sounded decent. 
🧡 All-American Rejects - very fun, brought along a shitload of nostalgia. Wasn’t expecting the singer to be that.. unique.
