As well as my Expeditions, I like to go and watch sport especially football and cricket. I am a member of Chelsea FC because my Grandad is a lifelong supporter and I decided to support them because of this. I go to Stamford Bridge at least a couple of times a year and try and get to the away matches that are near me. I love being in with the crowd and chanting and singing, there is always a great atmosphere. I am looking forward to this season as there are 4 Midlands clubs in the Premiership this year and I hope to get tickets for these matches.

I like watching cricket as well, especially T20 and try to get to watch Warwickshire play especially against Worcester or Gloucester at Edgbaston. It is a great day out and lots of fun. I went to watch Englands Womens team - the World Champions - play Austrailia at Derby and then to see the Test Match at Worcester
This was the Red Devils starting the day at Derby Here come the Girls This is the view from the Pavillion at Edgbaston
This was day 3 of the Women's Ashes match at Worcester, which is a lovely ground. I saw the tail end of Englands 1st innings and the opening of the Austrailian innings. The match finished next day as a draw which meant England retained the Ashes. Let's hope the boys do the same.
I also like going to the theatre and as we have several nearby, have been to lots of productions including the Reduced Shakespeare Company, My Fair Lady and Kiss Me Kate. I also went to the Theatre Royal to see Keith Allen in Treasure Island but my favourite is the Globe because you can stand in the pit and be really involved with the performance. This year we are seeing As You Like It. We make a day of it, going to Borough Market to buy another of my favorite things - Food!

I went to my first music festival in July, to see Madness and a whole lot of others at Madstock in Victoria Park.
Also on the bill were Gerry Dammers, The Blockheads and The Pogues.
It was a great to see so many people enjoying themselves and dancing to the music.
I went away with my school for a week in the Lake District doing lots of activities in September - click here for report
