Isn't it meant to be Summer ?
Hey Everyone ! It's Milly again ;)
After April and the start of may, i have officially decided that i am moving to some where hot like America when I'm older. I don't think its normal to have a cold this time in the year :) i guess thats the UK for you.
I am going to tell you a bit about the K2B and C2B which took place yesterday and i don't think i have ever walked in such bad weather, it's so hard to even describe how horrendous it was. Me and my friend Callum were doing the C2B and luckily he stayed over the night before, if not i honestly don't think i would have got up, i felt sorry for all the people doing the K2B because they had to get up 3 hours before us. Well, we got on the bus up to Coniston and after an hour of waiting we set of into the hail and the crazy winds. The Coniston Lake bit wasn't to bad for me and i was making quite good time but then it was a stretch of up and down hills called Kirby Moor and this is where i struggled a bit (not going to lie). I was walking by myself on Kirby Moor and well i was really fed up, it felt like i was in Antarctica and i was only wearing a very thin waterproof, it was so so cold and the wind didn't help at all, i was wrapped in tin foil (apparently it was meant to keep you warm) and i looked like a complete mess, the thing that kept me positive was thinking about alice and how she would be proud of everyone on TEAM ALICE. Typically as i just finished, the sun came out, however it was still beyond freezing. I was so happy when i finished it and went home to get a shower, clean clothes with UGGs and a baggy jumper. I came back to cheer in my mum and dad and all of team alice. Our K2B ladies team won the trophy for the fastest ladies team back and that was a great achievement, so a huge well done to them. I want to just say a massive thanks to all the team alice support stops, i really don't know what i would have done without them, but also thanks to the K2B/C2B support, specially to all the marshals that had to stand in that awful weather and finally to the K2B organisers, you did a great job. If anyone would like to sponsor me please do, we have very little time until our sponsorship needs to be in and we are still in the running for the Alice Memorial Trophy, i am so grateful to everyone who has sponsored me, massive THANK YOU to you guys.
We had exams at school all of last week, i don't think it went to bad (fingers crossed) they were super hard this year. I have my citizenship and ICT GCSEs this week coming, better get revising (yikes). I am a bit upset about my GCSE options because we handed what everyone thought was our original options in before December but we have just got an email saying heres the new option sheet and i can't do 3 of the subjects that i wanted to do. Just looking forward to summer although by the looks of things its not going to be a hot one, looking forward to just being of school for a bit.
I will post agin in a month and i hope everyones had a great April and start of May.

Hey guys ! Its me again.
3 months already! I can't believe how fast the time is going.
I have just come back from a few days at Knowsley safari park, which Alice won for me in a competition. I had the job of a junior keeper. It was actually really good and i learnt loads about animals, although it did include a lot of mucking out of the animals, including the lions, elephants, Rhinos and Meerkats. We did things such as making a zebra out of cardboard and filling it with food and then putting it in with the lions, which was very funny to watch. Then we filled a log with fruit and meal worms (i had to get someone else to do the meal worms, bit of a wimp when it comes to insects) and we went in the cage with the Meerkats and watched them search for it.
We have also had some families come and stay in the caravan and from the feedback that we got back it sounded like they had a good and fun time in the lakes, which i was so happy to hear. There are lots of local businesses supporting us and it's nice that they are letting our families go to their attraction.
I went on a 20 mile walk around Coniston Water last week and well, I was a bit stiff the next day. At lunch time i got an email through saying that theres only 30 days left until the big walk and i have to say, there's going to be a lot of last minute training walks because i haven't done that much. Going to make an effort now though, going to try and get on a walk or the treadmill every other day.
I have been shopping quite a lot recently and can't wait for summer (if we have one). There is some really nice things in river island at the moment i found and got some tops and a bikini (YAY) from there.
In my last blog i posted about going to see one direction with my friend and i can now say it was amazing, one of the best nights and i swear Niall waved at me :/ I had a lot of fun. Thank you Emily for choosing to take me.
I hope everyone had a good Easter !

Hello again
Hello, it is me again!
It's the 2 month anniversary since Alice passed away and it feels like the months have gone by so fast, yet i don't think i will ever get use to just Me, mum and dad sitting down at the dinner table !
The opening of the Alice's Escapes caravan was last weekend and it was amazing to see the amount of people that turned up and looked around it and i just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has supported us, it is truly wonderful to know that there will be family's staying in there very soon. I went on a sports tour with school recently and it was actually really fun. We had a netball match the first day and a hockey match the second day and I'm happy to say we won the netball 30-5 and the (very vicious) hockey match 1-1.
I am starting to get training for the C2B by going for runs up the field with Mabel, it is in May and if you would like to sponsor me it would be great (even a pound is awesome). I have just found out that the biggest fund raising team will win the Alice Pyne memorial trophy, so i am making that a priority to get as much money as i can.
I am very excited to say me and my friend, Emily, are off to see One Direction this Sunday in Liverpool, which i am very hyped up about. We have made a poster already saying how much she loves Louis and I love Niall :) I have already stocked the lemsips up, ready for my sore throat when i get back.
School is going well at the moment ! Getting ready for all the end of year exams :/, so a lot of work. I was on the front of the terrace at my school last week and it was a hot day for us cumbrians and i looked out on to the lake and thought i live in such a beautiful place, i haven't really thought about it before, as my mums always saying "We are so lucky to live where we are", but we really do live in such a stunning place.
So i hope that our families will think that too !
Love Milly x

hello
Hello
I don't really know what to say. I'm Milly and I'm 14. Today is a whole month since my sister had to go and although sometimes it seems a long time it is also like it happened yesterday. Alice left me a special silver necklace with her fingerprint pushed into it so I can put my finger in the shape and it's like we're touching each other again.
I promised Alice that I would climb Kilimanjaro and take some of her ashes up there and I'm going to try to do that in October. Another thing I promised was to keep doing her blog, but not as much as she did. Just little bits so that you know what we're doing. I think I'm meant to tell you about charity stuff. Her caravan is really nice and she would of liked it loads. I think she might of moved into it. Soon we will have families using it and we will help them. She also told me that I have to do something with my life. I like writing and media stuff and travelling and fashion but I don't know exactly what I want to do.
Lots of people have sent really good things for in the caravan and for the children and I am writing all the thank you cards, but only if we got the address on the paper with the present. I'm trying to think of something good to say about a toilet brush but there isn't anything apart from we needed one :)
We are having a open day at the caravan in March so I will ask Mum when it is and I'll put it on here and then you can come and see the caravan and meet us all if you live close enough.
Love Milly x

Sad news
Our darling girl, Alice, gained her angel wings today. She passed away peacefully with Simon, Milly and myself by her side. We are devastated and know that our lives will never again be the same.
