Recently, I went on a brilliant holiday to Butlins in Minehead with my housemates and support staff — and I had the best time!

We travelled down by minibus and stayed for a few days, and from start to finish, it was full of fun and laughter. When we arrived, not much was open yet, so we spent some time exploring the arcades, and it gave us a chance to settle in and look around.

I was with Jack, Sue, Rachel, Abi, and Gio, Ade, Sam and Amii. We got stuck into loads of activities together. We went to Red’s where we watched a great show, and Gio and had Jack a go on the go-karts. I loved it — we had such a laugh. We also saw a ventriloquist act by someone called Steve Hewlett He was really funny and had us all laughing.

One of the best parts of the trip was celebrating Sam’s birthday! It was on the last  full day we were there. In the morning, we gave him his presents, sang “Happy Birthday,”. Then we headed out to the zoo, which we got to using our bus passes. We saw lots of animals and had a good walk around.

We also went swimming, which was great fun. Some of the others went down the zip wires— I just watched this time, but it was still brilliant to see. The weather was amazing the whole time we were there — really hot and sunny. Luckily, no one got sunburnt because we came prepared with hats, caps, sunglasses, and sun cream. I mostly wore shorts and shirts — it really felt like summer!

One of the highlights for me was watching Snow White and the Magical Friends in the big theatre. Because we had VIP passes, we got to sit right at the front, which made it extra special. The magical friends were puppets, and the whole show was really magical and fun.

I’m so happy I went on this trip. I got to spend time with my friends, try new things, and just enjoy myself. I’d definitely go again!
