down the beaten path

                    You know that feeling you get;
    the one where you just feel like you're going nowhere in life, like you're just a bet some drunken stranger made in a casino somewhere in
Las Vegas. Thats how I feel right now. I'm not at all saying i have no ambitions or anything, just that i feel a little blown away by all these mundane options beimg presented to us at school. Y'know what I'm saying? 

Anyhow, it will be five months with my { perfect} boyfriend tomorrow. Excitement. 

If you ever wanted to get me something...

                                          I've been fascinated by hippies since as far back as I remember
I remember always acting like one too; I'd always opt for peace, embraced nature and I absolutely loved what was classed as 'hippie music'. I still do, actually.

Until recently, I had not been allowed to talk about them much, (My Mother was confused as to what a hippie was and didn't want me to turn into one), which led me onto ignoring them for the past couple of years. Recently, however, I have had the chance to explain to my Mother what they are and she accepted it.
So henceforth I am having a bit of a hippie overload at the moment. So, please bear with me as I totally cover myself with peace signs and tie-die clothing and music. :~)

In the meantime, I'm going to give you lots of pretty pictures to look at, which are mostly of things I have gaped at and though 'Please someone, PLEASE buy me this.' So If you are ever stuck on what to buy me for my Birthday or whatever, you know where to look. ;)

                               Here are some picture from my birthday party, which was on the 2nd March.

I apologise if all these gifs make this page respond slowly. I just couldn't help myself. They are too adorable. 

                                 

The Dead Walk

                                         On Saturday, I felt really bad. It hurt to move my head.

                                          [Nope, this is note my excuse for being all MIA recently, that, I apologise for]

                    So my Mother suggested that we go for a walk. Y'know, just a short one to, make me feel better.

                                                                     So I agreed. 

About 10 minutes into the walk, I was starting to wonder where we were going, so I asked. I was told we were going on a ramble. I remember sighing to myself, thinking; oh great.

             My opinions where far changed when we came across an old derelict farm house, that had obviously been subject to neglect after a fire. I hoped It was abandoned, I felt like I was in the Doctor Who episode, Blink. I could feel my excitement levels drastic rising as we approached the house. Somehow, I was wishing there where weeping angles in there. Strange.

               We walked over the fallen Harris fencing, my Mother choosing the safe option of staying out of this, while me and Mark explored the ruins. We stepped through the crumbling archway, onto the carpet of rubble.
The room to the left of me had a fantastic window, in which mystic ivy clawed its way around. You could see upstairs from this room, but no way of going there. There where no stairs nor a floorboard to stand on, so I returned to the hallway. The small room to my right was the height of thrills. Painted in blood red on the wall above a no longer existing fireplace, where the words 'THE DEAD WALK'. By this time, my Mother had come to join us, tingling with excitement and fear. I didn't sleep well at all after this.

 I really wish I had brought my camera along with me that day. I will surely go there again, so I can share my experiences more visually with you all, as they really are something to look at. The back yard was not a let down either. A half wall stood with amazing art work upon it. With even one message that read: The only thing the future is good for is a time machine. Which naturally, I loved.

                                   I am planning to go there again soon, so watch this space!

                                 Alanna :)

You may rise to find the sun

Good morning! (Or evening, depends on where you're reading this.)

Its December the first today! Which means:

I get to open No. 1 in our advent calendars! Hurray!

I have an good excuse for listening to festive songs! Hurray!

I get to wear my special Christmas socks to school! Hurray!

down this road that never seems to end

                                                      Computers don't like me.
                                                      Espacialy in November.                                                                   They must have been sending messages to each other like ''Die temporarily when touched by girl 3942''
                                                       Or something like that.
                                                                   Yep.

                                                               Anyway.

     Tommorow is December and the FeatherHappy countdown begins! Excitement, excitement.
                                              I hope my wish for snow is fulfilled.
      Sorry about the short post, my brain was frazzled during NaNoWriMo, and still hasn't got over it.                                                                                                                                                                  

                               A longer and more interesting post tomorrow, I promise.
                                                            
                                                   Happy Wednesday All! :-)
                                                           

Their beauty lets them fly

                                                              Ever heard of a Gypsy Vannner?
 They float across field and toss their heads high, their piebald coulouring makes them dance with glee.

                                        And to me, they are the most beautiful creatures ever made.
                  
                                       Otherwise known as an Irish cob, a Gypsy cob or a Tinker.
                             These horses have won my heart, and it is my dream to own one one day.

Silver Inches

                            Well today was the last day of term; and to celebrate, we had Mufti Day!

                                                            Oh, three cheers for you, Mufti.

                            I got to wear my newly acquired clothing from, *ahem*....Tesco...
                                 I know, I know!   But there is some pretty good stuff in there.

         I bought this really cozy grey jacket, some awesome trousers and an amazingly french-looking coat.

                                                    Oh, why don't you just see for yourself?

Sorry, not sure how to rotate.

Tasty Zest

                                                                 Hello my lovelies!

Many apologies for my lack of posting recently. I have been caught up with the usual; school. *Frowns*
                                                       
            Anyway, to make up for this, I am posting my first ever recipe, here on Feather Happy!

                                                         Can you guess what It is by the title?
                                                                 
                                                            Its the wonderful Key Lime Pie!

This has to be the most easy and delicious pie ever to make.

Plus, you only need 6 ingredients.

Here's what you will need for the filling:

Half a cup of key lime juice(5 regular limes) 

Three big egg yolks

1 can (14) of sweetened condensed milk

What you will need for the crust:

About 20 Digestive biscuits, crushed

3 table spoons of sugar

4 table spoons of unsalted butter, melted 

Firstly, crush the biscuits with a roller.  

                                     Then, add the crushed biscuits into s mixing bowl, then add the sugar.

Melt the butter, then add to your bowl.

Then stir.

Put the crust in the bottom of your tub. Pat lightly. 

Now for the filling :) 

Cut the limes into halves, then squeeze out the juice into a cup.

Now carefully separate the yolk from the whites. Put them in a separate bowl.

Add the condensed milk.

                                                                                 
              Mix together in bowl. Put the crust in the bottom of your tub. Pat lightly. Then pour the filling on top.

I will finish this post later as I am currently being chucked off the computer, sorry!
