The End of an Era

Although it doesn't feel like an end of an era to me, something feels like it has ended. I don't think that it has hit me properly yet and that's probably a good thing.

How long will I take to realise I'm actually an adult now?
Hopefully forever.

Getting over this silly thought and the reason I've been pondering over this rubbish all began last week. Unfortunately I wasn't blogging last week due to my lack of blogging enthusiasm and enjoyment of privacy.
But hell, I like letting everything out once in awhile, ye so back on track.

Me, Ben Meilak, Chris (Who I forget the second name of), Craig Uphill, Conner Parfit, Craig Jackson, Owain Evans and such went down to Ogmore Beach to celebrate the last day of school with a Fire and BBQ.
It was an amazing night that began with us buying food and drink in Tesco, which failed miserably. Most of us were 18 however Owain decided to come to the checkout with us lacking ID whatsoever. The checkout supervisor had none of that and prevented everyone with ID from buying any drink. FAIL!!
All was not lost however considering we already had some drink and we still bought everything for our Banquette. Cruising in Chris's 'Postman Pat' car with three people in the back however was not as enjoyable as it could have been, especially when me and owain had to fork out for fuel.
As we got to the beach me and Craig scouted around some firewood and began building the beginning of the most awesome fire ever. While everyone else found the little cove where we all relaxed for most of the night.
Somehow I managed to light the disposable BBQs with the little experience I had and got the fire burning with the help of Craigs lighter blocks.

The fire being the best botch job ever had a large base of coals with a stone surround and alto of firewood stacked up in my own custom tipi shape for effect.
I didn't think it would amount to much although I had many good comments on how good the fire was made.
Obviously i gotta give some credit to Craig Uphill and Conner due to our second firewood search where we got to some pretty deep talking. The story behind us sneaking off was to mainly get away while Craig Jackson wasn't around to trow stones at us :S

While Owain stayed back to the cove to keep the fire going, not that the coals would go out, we all wandered down to the water edge in small groups as the sun went down. It was defiantly the best part of the night after having some British burgers cooked by chef Owain that were well cooked and needed after the long day.

Towards the end of the night where it was too dark to search for more firewood we just laid around the fire having a bit of a laugh each time the fire attacked Owain with an ember.

Pretty much rated: BEST NIGHT EVER

O and before we set off we cranked up Craig Uphills Sound system and pulled Ben's car around with it's hazards on to make a car park party, a great end to a chilled night.

Update soon.
