Trains, no planes and bebes!

Hello Everyone,

I have an announcement to make.....I have a new cousin and she is really little. Me and mum and dad went on a big train this weekend and when we had finished our picnic and got off the train -in there were lots of people speaking in funny voices because I couldnt understand them and I know lots of words now. Uncle Owen was there and I gave him a big cuddle when I saw him. Then Naini and Taidi were in a room that we went into - well they had a room with their bed in that was next to the room with me and mum and dad's bed in too - there was a door in between them. Everyone was there! - Aunty Vic was in another room with another bed and when we went there after a while I realised that there was a little baby there, she didnt try and take my icecream so I didnt mind her cuddling up to my mum. Apparently she is called Olwen and she is my new cousin. I think Olwen is very cute, but she is very small and a bit boring, she didnt do anything! Not like my big cousin Ted - we went to the park together and then for crepes and then he let me sleep in his bed! One day we all went to a big castle where they had black dogs and a moat and a train that Ted went on - and I saw some horses - thye go "clip clop". We had lots of fun times in their house playing with Ted's toys and watching Peppa Pig with Taidi - I dont think Taidi had seen it before. Before I knew it we were back on a train and then in a taxi with a man that was talking alot about lots of stuff and it was raining - phew, I was glad to get back to nursery today where I could have a rest. Welcome to the clan Ollie - lots of adventures await us so hurry up and grow up soon! xxx

Evie's house - a sleepover

Hiya !

These are pictures from my latest adventure - going to see my friend Evie in her new house! Me and mummy and daddy went shopping first in Westfield - mum let me run around it was brilliant and then me and dad went and had a pie for lunch! Then we went to Evie's new house and played in her garden. I took Arthur for a run around in the garden too, then we all went to a pub with a really really big garden and I took Arthur for another really long walk - mum and dad didnt follow me and I went for miles. Evie can't walk very far yet, but when she can, we are going to go walking off together whilst mum and Aunty Ruth are too busy chatting! We stayed the night in Evie's house and then when we got up we went to a park with lots of swings and a pirate ship - it was great. Then we went for more food and then I had a good long sleep in the car - it is tough being me sometimes,

The Princess and the Pox

Hi,

Aunty Vic drove us back to London (Ted fell asleep, but I dont think I did). I had to tell Ted that he could play with some of my toys but that I was in charge, boys are sooo annoying - love him lots though - it was great fun having him staying with us.

Mummy and Aunty Vic then watched the TV with people in dresses and hats and then we went to a party! Mummy made me have my picture taken next to some people I didnt recognise, then Aunty Vic did too! I met some new friends and went into their house - mum couldn't come in, it was great fun.

Everything got really boring after Aunty Vic and Ted arrived - but then....Uncle Rhys, Aunty Jacky and Molly and Nia came to visit and we went to have lunch and I had a feast! Then we went to see my friend Evie in her new house and we went to her new park and we went on a trampoline!

I thought everything would go back to normal, I went to nursery but then dad came and got me early and said I had to leave because I was spotty. I have had to stay at home with dad since then and I feel a bit funny, but now I think it is better. Another friend, Amy came to see me today - she is one day older than me but I think I am taller.

Eat it before it melts!

Summer is here and I love it!
Me and Mum and dad went to a party and I saw some of my friends -it was great fun. Then soon afterwards we went to Naini and Taidis and it was even sunny there. Then we went to the beach and it rained - it is strange cos that is what happened in Australia too! When the sun came out again and cousin Ted and Aunty Vic arrived, Taidi took us on his tractor - it was great but really noisy - I was jumping up and down shouting faster faster faster! Me and Teddy had a great time, sometimes he forgot that I am the boss - but I am not worried, he will understand soon - he he he.

I ate lots of chocolates and saw lots of cousins and aunties and uncles and friends - it was brill - thanks Naini and Taidi!

Malaysian in Melbourne and Sesame Icecream

Then, my gosh we still weren't home and we were in a place called Melbourne. We went on a tram which Granbob had told me all about and we went to see some fishes. I saw some big black and white things that wadddled - I really didnt like them and I shouted at them. After daddy nearly got us lost, we went to look at a big not quite round place and it was hot. We saw some more of my cousins (how many have i got!) and we saw someone called Bernie Ecclestone or his lookie likie. We had lots of lovely nice food in my mums favourite restaurant in all of Australia. Then we went on ANOTHER plane to Hong Kong. I sat on Naini's knee the whole way from the airport and we had lots of fun. I liked HK and we went to the playground and I loved the slides and everywhere we went lots of people stopped and smiled at me - I liked Hong Kong! We went to a place twice where you could eat as much as you liked ! - dad and taidi ate loads and loads and so did I ! - I tried some sesame icecream and it was lovely!

Feeling hot hot hot

The next place we went was really cool, we had to go everywhere in an open car that you didnt have to wear seatbelts or be in a car seat for. My mum was the best driver and she liked goign around the corners fast. Naini made sure she kept hold of me very tight when it was her turn. We ate outside every day and even for breakfast. Most of the time i didnt even bother wearing a vest for meals! There were some birdies that naini and mummy didnt like but Nan and dad shooed them away. I have another new bed but it was nice and cool in there even though when we went outside it was really really hot - weird. there was lots of rain there too and one time me and mum and dad had to stop the buggy cos we were getting so wet - it was alot of fun. I went to play with some other children one day and made a bag with my handprints on - it was called the Clownfish club. I ate some icecream and went swimming and jumped in the swimming pool when we were there and I had lots of time to play with naini and taidi and nan and granbob. I ate some australian weetabix callel weetbix, but it was almost as nice as what i have at home. My favourite bit was definitely all the playing and jumping in the pool!
One day we went on a big boat and had a big bbq and then went to a big white beach to match my dress and we all played games - dad wore a weird blue suit though and i dont understand why cos noone else did...
Then - we had to get on another aeroplane and say goodbye to Nan and Granbob - I wanted to see there house cos mum had told me that I had my own room there that Nan had decorated but I never

Phew nomia we made it

Well we had an exciting March. First I wasnt feeling very well, but i did feel okay on st davids day in nursery, we wore welsh shirts and the girl in nursery called monica and i had a lovely time. The next day i didnt feel very well and by the time naini and taidi arrived with lots of suitcases, i was feeling awful. I had to go to the place where i was born and have lots of needles in me. mummy slept on a camper bed and she kept waking up to check on me - how embarassing.
some people came and took us away to another place where there was lots more food and daddy was very happy eating all my food. the nurses were very nice everywhere. Then mummy and daddy and i went to see another doctor and he said we could go and find naini and taidi who had disappeared but mum seemed to know where they were. We went to a big place with lots of people and i was allowed to stay up late and run around whilst mum and dad had a drink and dad ordered fizzy stuff and rang uncle geoff to tell him where we were. Then it all got very noisy and I slept for ages and then ate crab and lobster and played with flashcards. We got to a place called Singapore and they had a waterfall inside! I kept trying to put Arthur in the water but mum wouldnt let me. I ate something called a curry puff there and it was yummy. Then I was just walking and minding my own business when I saw Lexi from nursery, she was on holidays with her mummy and daddy too and was on our plane going to Sydney. I think that although sometimes it seems like there are lots and lots of people everywhere, there cant be cos i always see people i know.

When we got off the plane and dad stopped driving in circles around the airport we went somewhere and guessed who we bumped into? Naini and Taidi and Nan and Granbob - see, everywhere you go you see someone you know!

I loved the beach in Woolongong where we were, and I even went in the sea. I think taidi stayed outside for too long cos he went red, but he and daddy kept cool in the bar drinking schooners.

Before I had chance to get used to my bed we had to pack again and go on another aeroplane. This time though it wasnt very big and Nan and Granbob and Naini and Taidi were all with us! - what an adventure

"Tree" birthday and a green aeroplane!

My cousin Ted was 3 and he had a party and I went to it! We went on a big green aeroplane to get there and then my mummy made him a big green aeroplane cake for his birthday. I saw my daddy and my naini and my taidi and my aunty vicky eating the clouds around the cake, but still it was brilliant, my mum is great!
We sang songs to teddy and he had lots of presents. My naini gave me a present too, it was a spotty suit for being in the sun -which isi strange cos there isnt much sun in Ireland where teddy lives.
we had a great time on teddy's slide too and uncle owen gave ted a lift in his wheelbarrow - i didnt go in it though cos it looked a bit dirty...
My aunty vic's tummy was starting to be big and I heard people talk about a baby - well that must be me as i am the only baby in the family - but it isnt my fault that aunty vic's tummy was getting bigger!
I slept in my cousin Ted's cot because he had a brand new bedroom. My cot was a bit rickety though cos taidi didnt put it together right - it was wobbly!

Elfin antics

Wow - Christmas happened again!
I went to lots and lots of parties which was brilliant, especially as I had been feeling poorly before then with a cold. Mummy and daddy had it too, so we all cuddled up together and had lots of hugs. Naini came to look after me one day and we had lots of fun.
Me and mum and dad went to a party at my friend Imogen's house. We had fun sitting on the step in her house which is alot like the step in my house. Mum let me wear my new yellow dress and daddy said I looked really pretty. Lots of my other friends were there too and I played with lots of Imogen's toys and ate lots of food.
When we went to see Naini and Taidi, me and mum went in the car and it took ages and ages and ages. I think it might have been because there was white stuff on the roads and landing on the window all the time. I was okay though because I was playing with Violet and had a few snoozes. Aunty Vicky and Uncle O and cousin Ted were there too and we saw lots and lots and lots of people who mum said I was related to. Mum made me do some silly dance one day when all Nainis' brothers and sisters and my cousins were there - it was soooo embarassing, but later me and Ted were allowed to dress up with beards like Granbobs which was alot of fun!
One day we took a big red plastic thing and went to Mollys house - but before we go there, mum sat down on the red thing and put me on her knee and started shouting! - the next thing I knew we were going really fast down the hill back to Naini's house - I thought we were going to go into the hedge, but somehow we didnt! After that Naini came and took me inside where it was warm! We went for other rides on the the red thing in Naini's garden and me and Ted made my mum pull us around it was loads and loads of fun!
I got lots of presents - Lego, books, clothes, a see-saw and a beanbag !!! Good job mum and dad bought me a new house or it never would have all fitted in!
We took cousin ted and aunty vic in our car with us cos Dad and Uncle O had disappeared the night before - it was dad's birthday too so dont know where mum sent him! When we got to my house though he was there though with uncle O looking a bit pale.Then before you knew it some of my cousins Molly and Nia and their mums and dads came to London to see us and we all went out and watched some people walking in a really funny way on white stuff. Aunty Vic and me and Aunty Yvonne went to have a mince pie at the end, but when Aunty Vic tried to palm me off with a little bit of her mince pie, I swiped the other big bit from under her nose! - he he, dad has taught me some good tricks.
On the last day of 2010 we went to my favourite cafe for lunch and I had lots of dippy bread and oil it was yummy. I heard a party going on downstairs when they all thought I was asleep - I know what they were up to!
Molly, my cousin, wasnt there cos she was poorly, but I saw her a few days later and she looked fine to me.
phew - 2010 was tiring
