Just thought I’d write and let you all know what life on the tour bus is like!

Well …I don’t know how…but I managed to end up with the smallest bunk…and everyone else has got king sized bunks ( I´m exaggerating …  a lot… but still …my bunk is tiny ) and I feel like I can’t change bunks now,  because I feel like it’s mine now…and I’ve grown attached in a weird “I hate you/love you” kind of way……its a lose/lose situation.
My bunk is across from Lottie..and Declan (my amazing hairdresser) is underneath…and then all the band are at the back.
Every morning I wake up and either me or Lottie will sing something to each other ..I love waking up and then laughing…always makes days alot easier I think ……my personal favorite at the moment is ” I’vvvvvvve beeeeeen dreaaaaaaaaming of my true love’s kissssssss ” from Enchanted …..

Night time is weird….I think because I have a lot on my mind with this whole tour….It’s taking me a while to fall asleep…and the bus moving isn’t making it easier…and my bunk is right at the front….and Deano (the bus driver) needs music on to keep his mind awake….and he has the oddest music taste in the world….one minute its “Atomic Kitten”..and then it “Meatloaf”….so all thats going on and it’s kinda hard.
Anddd in the last 5 months I’ve become a bit of a sleep diva…I need a pitch black room….no sound…and then I can sleep 
And now….because I’mm not sleeping till 2 in the morning….I just keep on annoying Lottie and trying to keep her awake so I can annoy her some more….and she keeps on singing out of her curtains “I dont…..wanna talk” ….( a classic ABBA song)
So as you can see…life on the road is tough …but I’m hard as nails….and a massive lad….so don’t worry about me 

having the best time ever…..thank you Quiksilver….I loves ya

We drove down to Newquay after London. We woke up and saw a lot of stairs leading down towards the venue (and I mean a LOT …) what a mad load-in!!
Totally worth it though, what an amazing gig and the people were wicked. So nice to see a crowd openly loving it.
Truely an amazing gig and I can’t wait to go back… ahhh Lusty Glaze 

Newquay to Paris….had a really lovely day off in Paris; the sun was shining and we had a nice lunch at Notre Dame where the boys ordered a litre of beer…
big mistake!!!!

That evening we all just chilled at the bus park and the guys (including Lottie) had a game of football while the girls (me and Dec) sat and watched!!! The next day we headed over to the gig with another funny load-in, as we were unfortunately about a mile away from the venue…………
So we piled up all the gear and headed off on a mile long journey along the parisian streets! When we got to the Quiksilver store in Bercy, I started getting really exited; they have an amazing driftwood shack in the shop, so we set up the gear infront of it- it looked great with our palm tree thats on tour with us  It looked so at home!

There were loads of people there and it was the start of Paris Fashion Week so there was a really good buzzing atmosphere!! Thankyou Paris…….

Yesterday our ambassador Charlotte O’Connor played in Paris at the QuiksilverBoardrider’s. It was her first concert in France as she continues her European tour to present her debut album. A special thank you to all of you die hard fans that sang along every single song! you guys are PRICELESS!!!!

The stage was wicked… we even had a palm tree, fishes and surf boards on top of a surf shack built out of drift wood.

The next stop will be Ericeira in Portugal on Friday, and then Madrid, before coming back to France for the Quiksilver Pro in Hossegor.

Stay tuned!
