Wakehurst Place

Good morning everyone! *waves*

Just a couple of quick things before the main purpose of this post:

I love my house and housemates, they are ace. I can't imagine living anywhere else now, it's so much fun here. 1 Goffick + 1 Dandy + 1 Gay + (3 x cats) = The Best. Don't quite know where that came from, but I just wanted to say it.

I've made a few changes to my blog; An Anon commentor on an earlier entry drew my attention to the fact that I hadn't fully explored Blogger's options as on previous blogs of mine, so thanks for that. Equally, said anonymous reader also made what they believed to be a malicious and potentially hurtful comment. Unfortunately, they made two mistakes.

One - if they actually knew me and had the vaguest idea of what I actually lived through with my Eating Disorder, and how strong I am now, they wouldn't be so childish as to try and use statements about my BMI perceived weight - nice one, fucktard, I'm not actually OBESE, it's just one medical tool amongst many. I'm very happy about the way I look, the size of my breasts and the curve of my hips are 100% sexy.

Two - they left an ANONYMOUS comment! Anyone who has read my blog before, or indeed, knows me, will know how much contempt I have for people who hide when stating any kind of opinion. If you believe it, have the balls to state your name at the door when you come in here to tell me. And if you aren't brave enough to post where anyone can see - send me an email. My contact details are on my full profile, if you don't have them already.

So, the upshot of this is that I've turned on all the features I didn't realise I hadn't already. My blog, my rules :)

In other news, Mum and Dad came up to Brighton last Sunday and we all went to Wakehurst Place for the day. It was a belated birthday treat for my Dad and it was AWESOME. We couldn't have asked for better weather, the sun was warm and the foliage was stunning. I was pretty much transported back to the glorious days of my childhood in Wales, running wild in the woods and building camps with my brother :) It's a fabulous place to visit and they do a lot of really valuable conservation work there too.



My Dad seems very impressed by this one...



A perfect one for climbing...




The House. A perfect residence for the Slytherin Head Girl, don't you think? :)

Then there was much cake and coffee in one of the lovely cafes on the grounds. Dad loved it so much that he and Mum and buying Season Tickets for the place, and Phil and I are doing the same - going back there in December to see the largest living Christmas tree all decorated with lights! WIN!

Oh gawd. I'm not going to have to set up an account to comment, am I?

Hang on, it doesn't seem like it...

I like the look of that big tree.

Hehe, nope :) But I do get to moderate what gets published on my blog now, amongst other things. It's all good. That big tree was amazing, you should totally visit the place!

I admit to sharing your disdain for anonymous comments. One would think that the internet itself would provide the requisite anonymity.

The Head Girl of Slytherin said...

Mr Devil, indeed you are correct. You would think that if someone cared enough about something to post a comment/remark/reply that they'd have the courage to leave an email or a name or something. Ah well :)

Curse the anonymous nature of bloggery. Can't these anonymous people just make up a name and have a blank blog with adverts for porn on at the very least? Tsk.

Cool tree.
