BFF Tag!

BFF Tag: Tanya!

Hi again, this week the questions have been answered about Tanya, I find that there is nothing more important other than your family, is your closest friends!

(These were answered by Sarah!)

 

Here we go!

 

1.  When and how did we first meet?

  I first met Tanya in September 2007 when I started at the local sixth form. We became friends

quickly and haven't had any major fallouts. She's one of my best friends.

 

 

2.  Who is your best friend's hero?

 This one was tough. At first I spent ages trying to think who her favourite superhero was but then

I thought about the question a different way. I'd have to say Tanya's biggest hero would be her

mum. Her mum goes through a lot every day and Tanya does as much as she can to help her.

 Favourite food is nachos or pizza

 

 

4.  What is your best friend’s biggest fear?

  I really want to say spiders!

 

 

5. If your best friend were deserted on an island, what are the three things she/he could not live without?

 Her camera to take photos. Her iPhone for music/games/sanity aaaannnd something random like a

bouncy castle lol. Oooo no her cat!!

 

 

6.What three movies does your best friend love the most?

 The Harry Potter films (I think number 5 is her favourite) interview with a vampire aaannnnddd

Lord of the rings???

 

 

7.  Which is your best friend’s favourite season and why?

 Probably summer because it's sunny and warm.

 

 

8.If you were out together, what would your best friend eat?

 We usually go the leaping salmon and she usually has a hot dog with cheese and chips

 

 

 

9. Would your best friend watch a chick-flick, action, comedy or a horror movie?

 I think Tanya would pick a horror film.

 

 

10. What is your favourite inside joke?

 Not sure about inside joke. I can't think of any!

 

 

11.  What favourite memory do you have of your BFF?

 My favourite memory with Tanya would be the times we used to go to Spittal park while we were

at sixth form!

 

 

 

12.  Does your best friend have any nicknames?

 She usually gets called Tan but for a while she gained the nickname of Tanya Teapot.

Speedway Saturday!

Speedway: My Trip to Glasgow!

Hi all! So last week I updated on meeting the Bandits!

 

Well, on the 5th April, which is so far back now haha! I went on the Bandits Supporter's Bus to see the meeting against Glasgow Tigers!

 

Their Stadium is at Ashfield in Glasgow!

 

 I was accompanied by my friends Linda and Sarah!

 

This was my first ever away meeting! So it is safe to say I was rather excited!

 

Me ready to head for the us!
(With my new Thomas Jorgensen Hat!)
 

Me and Sarah ready to go meet Linda!


It took us just about 2hrs, maybe a tad longer to get to Glasgow!

The Track had just been newly refurbished (though I never saw the old track haha!)

The sun was shining, and I can't deny it is a pretty good looking track and Stadium!

View from near 4th bend!

Looking across to 2nd Bend!

Massive Sign on 3rd Bend!

Looking over to starting tapes from the Back straight!

Me and Sarah at the 3rd bend!


Me and Sarah decided we would watch from the back straight, but the sun was getting a little bit too much for us, so we moved over to the 1st bend and joined in the with the Barmy Army (Berwick's fans haha!)

It was great standing with them and watching the racing, it was fab to meet new people as well!

Sarah, Linda and Me on the 1st bend!

Even though it was a fantastic day, it is shame we lost, but our riders did their best and fought hard!


Thanks for Reading!
