Welcome back everyone and hello if this is your first time visiting. Thank you so much for coming back if you have visited before, I really do appreciate it. What has everyone been up to recently? I can not believe its June already! Where is this year going?
Bank Holiday Monday I decided to go to London Waterloo for the day to see 'The Paul O'Grady' show. It's been five years since I've spent the day in London so this was quite a big thing for me. I was actually okay though I had my moments but I was so proud of myself for actually going. That probably sounds stupid to you but if you suffer from panic attacks you'll know what I mean.
My Mum and me got up early on Monday and parked up at the station before getting the 9:00 train to Stratford. I couldn't get over how far away the main train line was to the Jubilee, okay it probably wasn't that far but when your in a rush it feels miles away. The Jubilee train was so small that at first I felt really claustrophobic but I soon calmed down. Luckily it was only about a twenty minute journey before we reached Waterloo. It had been years since I have been in London let alone Waterloo and I didn't have a clue how to get to the ITV studios, luckily some people helped us.
When we got there the queue was already pretty big and that was without the priority queue. It was even worse than normal because Olly Murs was the special guest so I was pretty desperate to get in. I was getting more and more anxious we wouldn't get in. While my Mum stood and queued for a while i went to look for somewhere to buy some food, I was starving I hadn't eaten all day. Not far away was a little gap that led to the riverfront with all these little cafes it looked so lovely and the people were so friendly. Luckily we were taken backstage through the ITV studios because my Mum can't stand for long to get to a inside waiting space where we were guaranteed access. I couldn't believe my luck we were actually going to see Olly again! After about half an hour we were taken into the studios first and I couldn't get over how small the set was in real life. To top it off we were given front row seats!
The show started quite promptly at 12.30 and was a bit boring to be honest until Olly made his appearance. The interview was really good and i think the majority of the audience was there just to see Olly. The show lasted just over the hour before we were escorted out of the building. As we were leaving a crowd of people had gathered nearby around the car. It was Olly! I went over not thinking I had a chance to meet him again and the car kept edging to go, I thought I didn't stand a chance. After a little bit of nudging here and there which I hate doing but if you don't you have no chance of meeting him everyones out for themselves. After a few moments I actually got to the front and met Olly again and had another picture with him! he took my phone and we took a few selfies. I could not believe I got to meet Olly again and so quick since the first time! After getting over the excitement we made our way back to the station and it gave us the false illusion that the station had quietened down! But omg when our train arrived it was crazy busy and I mean crazy! I panicked at first and wouldn't get on but i did and you know what it wasn't that bad.
All together I had such a lovely day and would completely do it again in a heartbeat. I had so much fun and it was such a confidence boost that I can actually go out and do things like this again. bring on next time! I hope you enjoyed reading this!
Lots of Love
