One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ive seen a spaceship lauch on its way to the moon, and the 3 months i spent camping in Swanage, Dorset was amazing. i have jumped from the side of a ship into the meditterranean sea, it doesnt sound much but im scared of heights. i have seen the bright lights of Manchester, which is a beautiful city. and ive experienced the wonders of glastonbury. i hope by the end of the year i can write much, much more here
