Secrets Revealed at Bletchley Park

On the Bank Holiday, my family visited Bletchley Park. Now the word going through your head right now is 'What?' so let me explain. Bletchley Park is the home of British code breaking and also the birthplace of modern technology. Basically, it's where all the code breaking was done during World War II!

When we arrived at Bletchley Park, my family and I walked into the first exhibition. It was all about the history of the World War two. We then walked around Huts 3, 6 and 8. They were very interesting and factual but also fun because there was interactive activities. We then had lunch in the café. In the garden there was a playground and a giant chess board. Our next stop was the mansion, where we learnt about the Imitation Game, the Oscar-nominated movie - starring Benedict Cumberbatch - which was filmed partly at Bletchley Park. Hut 11 was next which was all about the machines the code breakers used to crack the enigma, the code the Germans used. In there wel earnt how to do it ourselves using another interactive media. Finally, our trip was over and we headed home. Overall, it was an amazing day.

My Room Wishlist!

Today, I will be telling you all the plans and dreams for my room, all  of them way out of my budget though :(

1. Ivory Furlicious Faux Fur Beanbags - These extremely cuddly and cosy beanbags would be the softest seat in the house. It's woven from the finest materials to give you top quality guaranteed.
2. "Though she be but little, she is fierce" quote - This beautiful watercolour print by Shakespeare is so inspirational. I love the bright and bold colours, it would go great against my bedroom wall!
3. Green/Blue Lava Lamp - I've always liked the idea of going to bed at night watching the inside of the lava lamp floating around. It reminds me of a calm sea.
4. Carnival Star light - I love this product as it lights up any room in the home, and you can have it stood up on your desk or hang on your bedroom wall.
5. Pineapple duvet cover - I love pineapples so this duvet would be perfect. The colours contrast amazingly and look great as well. 
6. Ceiling light - This ceiling light would be a great centrepiece. The pink tassels go great with the gold rim.
