Song of the Week

Hey Guys,

It's Daisy, sorry I've been a bit awol for a while, I've had a very busy summer holiday completing my Gold DofE, but I'm back and I hope you're all having a nice bank holiday.

The song I've chosen this week is from a new artist I have discovered, Jose Vanders, she's a piano based folk-pop musician. My favourite song of hers is "Faces Going Places".

I'm unable to find an original video of this song but click here for one I found onYoutube; and click here for an amazing cover of it.


Love Daisy x



Ps. Now that I've completed all that, you should be expecting some hauls from me and a few film reviews in the near future (that is if school isn't too hectic).

Song of the Week

Hey Guys,

Sorry this is late, but my Song of the Week, technically my song of last week, is 'Life With You' by the Proclaimers. On Saturday I was lucky enough to only have to pay £10 to see The Proclaimers, who were playing at Shrewsbury Flower Show. They played for a good hour and a half with a really varied set of songs. It was great to finally see them live. I really enjoyed it, hence why they created my song of the week.

Listen to 'Life With You' here.

Uganda Haul

Hey Guys,

I returned from my trip to Uganda last Monday morning and am so excited to share some of the things that I bought with you. Uganda is an amazing country with amazing people, never have I felt so welcome in a country. I can not begin to explain how breathtaking my time was there and how much I enjoyed the entire experience. Perhaps I will do a separate post on my favourite things we did there another time but for now here is my haul...

1. Tiny Antique Mask from a small shop near where we had breakfast on our last morning.
2. Spider Web Bowl from Kampala Craft Market (KCM). Kampala is the capital city of Uganda.
3. Zebra with wheels from KCM.
4. Red and Black Mask, from KCM, and Spatula from our link school, Lords Meade.
5. Wooden Painted Bird from Queen Elizabeth National Park, whilst we were on safari.
6. Two Wooden Painted Figurines from KMC.
7. Fabric Doll from a different market in Kampala.
8. Elephant Painting from Lords Meade.
9. Wooden Salad Servers from KMC.

10. School Tank Top from Lords Meade.
11. Blue Dress with Elephants on from Jinja High Street.
12. Bracelets from Mirembe Cottage, Necklace from Jinja High Street and Necklace from Yamba

Everything in the marketsand shops in Uganda was lovely and if I had been given more time and more luggage space I could have bought back so much more. I have not included prices of things in this haul because I can't remember most of them, but lets just say that it was insanely cheap and I don't think anything in this haul cost me more than £5.00. I just have one thing left to say in this post and that is if you ever get the opportunity to go to Uganda, take it. I know that you won't regret it.

Song of the Week

Hey Guys,

This week I have chosen 'The Night I Heard Caruso Sing' by Everything But The Girl as my Song of the Week. My dad introduced me to this duo, Tracey Thorne and Ben Watt, and they are amazing. What makes me want to listen to this song over and over again is the perfection of the harmonies, they are just so in sync and you can tell that these are two incredibly talented people. 

You can listen to 'The Night I Heard Caruso Sing' here.

I can't do a post about Everything But The Girl without mentioning another amazing song of theirs called 'Apron Strings'. This song is beautiful, but also saddening and features on the album 'Idlewild'.

You can listen to 'Apron Strings' here.
