My Grandma has a sore leg. She's been in hospital about the whole time we've been here (according to Taliah). I really miss home and school and all my friends.

Last night we went to a cool restaurant and we had fizzy drinks.

On Thursday we are going to Shrek the show not the movie.

Happy days in London

I'm dictating to Dad and with his editions this may sound more sophisticated than would be expected by a regular 7 yr old...
On the first day we were here we went on the London Eye. It's a big spinning wheel like a ferris wheel and you'll love it because you can see the whole city in the complete revolution. One of my favourite attractions is the Natural History Museum. You may have seen the videos of the dinosaurs which are from this museum but there are many more exhibits such as 'the restless earth' which is all about volcanoes and ice and earthquakes and all kinds of rocks. Down the road, the British Museum has an Egyptian display with sphynx, mummies (wrapped up dead bodies), and fancy coffins.
Today we went to the most amazing church called Westminster Abbey. It's over a thousand years old and it's the place where little boys sing like girls, where Kate and William were married and where one day maybe they will be crowned King and Queen. It's got really special windows.

Tonbridge

Miss A wants to know which Castle this is... only taliah doesn't know because she'd had ENUF of being taken places and refused to come with us - so i'm not sure why we ended up putting it on her blog - weird! slip of the click perhaps?? HOwever the first piccy is of her cousins Dan and Ellie. The castle is Bodium and you can 'hear' all about it on Oscar's blog. Needless to say Taliah is now used to the concept of visitng castles and the like and is much less wingy about such outings. Whether she can be convinced to blog to this ends is yet another feat to be achived by her parents :)

3 days in Brugge

When we went to Brugge I bought a lace umbrella and fan and a special basket. After this we went on a boat on the canals and it was very pretty. It was rainy and dry and cold and warm and all sorts of weather came around myself. The people there were very grumpy. They didn't show a smile one bit. And France they were even grumpier! The chocolate shops were amazing. There were brown chocolates, and black ones and white ones and ones that were shaped as a triangle and ones that were shaped as a pineapple. They were round, they were square they were every kind of where can I be? I must be at a chocolate museum. It looks like there are cocoa beans everywhere.

golden city

Today I went to the golden city (Versailles). At the golden city it was all made of gold and daddy thought it was a sausage factory because there were so many people being squished and squeezed like we were sausages. When we were walking it smelled like doggy doo (because Christie and I had poos on our shoes) and so Daddy made up a story about Schnitzel von Crumb with a very low tum eating sausages in the most expensive sausage factory in the world. Hairy Macleary had a doggy computer and he would blog about Schnitzel's adventures because the two of them would meet at the sausage factory. Schnitzel was trapped in the factory but it was nice because he had all of the sausages to himself. He had sneaked in when he was young and skinny.
The best part of the day was when Daddy made up this story about the sausage factory.

Lakes district

We are in the lakes district. We stayed at a Motel and tonight a bed and breakfast. We have a tv to watch, 3 beds and a stretcher, and the room is purple... my favourite. We went on some boats around the lake. We got off and walked bits... but we got a bit lost and I didn't know how to go around a big wet muddy puddle so I had to go in it and splosh I got stuck.
