My first day out in forever!

So I woke up this morning feeling rather anxious and in a lot of pain on top of my current gastro problems but I was determined not to let this get in the way of my first trip out in what seems like forever! 

I am in a wonderful support group and this is who I was going on the trip with. I suppose you want to know where I went right?! 

Cadburys World !!!! 

Although I felt really sick I managed to muster up a smile and get ready to go! 

This was me on the way to the pick up point where I would be meeting the group and getting on a coach to Birmingham, 1 and a half hours away. I must say I really wasn't looking forward to sitting on the coach for all that time but the lovely ladies kept me occupied, involved in conversation. 

So here are a few photos I took :) 

This was the entrance. 

I didn't actually get a picture of inside the shop but it was huge and I brought lots of goodies including, a purple cadburys hoodie, a chunky pen, a broach and of course chocolate gifts. 

I made a little wish for all my fellow zebras :)! 

The chocolate smelt so beautiful!!

This is beautiful and was made to celebrate the birth of Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

This egg was huge and was made entirely from chocolate as well as everything inside! I wish I could of taken it home :) 

The old chocolate bars and advertising, it was amazing to see how things have changed over the past 100 years. 

There are a few other photos which I will post on my Facebook if anyone wants to take a look. 

So now I shall tell you about the day itself... It was a wonderful place and I am soo glad I managed to push myself to go, I had a great time and it was awesome to be out of the house for a day out for the first time in a long while. 

I was a little disappointed that I could not access all areas of the tour due to lack of wheelchair access and a lot of steps and I also didn't make it to the end of the tour as I started to feel really fatigued and my pain levels were pretty raised by this point. 

When it was time to come home I was definitely ready, it was a very long day out for me and I found it really exhausting. As soon as I got home I managed to get myself to bed at 5.30pm and had a little nap. Unfortunately that means I am now wide awake at 11.45pm. 

Overall it was a great day but thanks to EDS I won't be going anywhere else for a while again now and will probably spend the next few days bed bound recovering but it's good to get out once in a while! 

Much Love Everyone, Stay Positive xxx
