This week's posts are about how we're spending our half terms, but hopefully you can get some ideas from it too - and share your own in the comments. We'll be updating our days throughout the week, so make sure to keep checking back!
(We now have a Twitter and Tumblr - links are to the side too.)
Alison: Today, my family and I took a trip to Longleat, then I came back and worked on some more of my art coursework (I'm really slipping on revision and homework right now...). Longleat, and any other zoo or zoo type place, is one of my favourite days out as I really love animals and the atmosphere of places like that. Everyone always seems so excited to be there - and I won't say I blame them - I get really happy to be there too.
Longleat, in particular, is really great, as it allows you to get close to the animals. Obviously there's rules in place in order to protect the animals, so it's really nice to walk through areas where the animals are in with you - such as with the meerkats, the Penguins and with the butterflies.

I also got to hold a snake today, and my brothers both held a tarantula. Overall though, my absolute favourite part is probably the safari. Okay, I don't really like the monkey part of it, where they climb all over the (moving!) cars and jump off, leaving me terrified they're going to fall off and get seriously injured. Driving past the other animals however, such as rhinos, deer (which you can feed from your car at Longleat) and cheetahs, is just something I really enjoy (I think I was more excited than my brothers during this part...!).
Sabrina: Today, I managed to do/organise some of my art coursework. It turns out that I did have a fair amount of work to do, but I know exactly what to do rather than just have this overwhelming feeling create a blurry cloud in my head. But, I will admit that I have spent most of today stalking social media, including Instagram. So, I decided that my contribution to today's post would be about my favourite Instagram profiles.
Keep in mind that this is in no particular order, but these three profiles are what I think you guys would like.
First up is connorfranta. Yes, I found his Instagram account through his popular YouTube channel, but I honestly love it. Connor manages to capture aesthetically-pleasing photographs in a brilliant quality and the colours are always complimenting each other. Here are a few of my favourites of his photos:

Next up is benellwalker. He is a smaller YouTuber compared to most, with a modest 5k+ subscriber count. Not only is he good at making videos, but he also posts amazing photography. I recommend you follow his Instagram and YouTube channel because he really deserves more recognition, and puts in a lot of effort to his work. Here are a few of my favourite Instagram posts of his:
Finally, another one of my favourite Instagram accounts is carolinecf. 18 year old beauty goddess and aesthetic goals, Caroline posts high quality photos that I reckon you guys would love. She posts pictures of landscapes, selfies, and "typical hipster stuff" that Alison and I aspire to post. For the last time, here are a few of my favourite posts by carolinecf:
I do hope that you check out those Instagram accounts that I have shown you, and let me know about any of your recommendations in the comments!
I would also like to add that tomorrow will be our final post for the 'Half Term Day by Day' series, so we hope you guys have enjoyed it so far!
See you tomorrow with another blog post,
