Henley and Selma, Ella and Jack's house!!!

Well, we drove down to Henleys on the Thursday London time! It is a very old place. We looked at some really old Medieval houses which lean and have dodgy roofs and all sorts of odd beams and things.



After that we went to our friends house and played croquet, french cricket and dodgeball! My battle cry for dodgeball was: "I'M A JELLYFISH!!!" Some of you would've laughed at that but it was my battle cry!!!

We headed home and ate dinner and then we went out to Alfie's school to watch a play done by people in their senior year! 1 day to go till my birthday (it is my birthday over there where you are already) but over here it's 1 day to go!!!

School Visit!

The drive took us 2 hours to get to the school! As part of Mum's award she has to do some school visits and we went to school No. 1 on the Wednesday England time, Thursday NZ time. Well, now I can say I went to school while I was away!!! Mum observed an ICT session while Dylan and I joined in!!! For the lesson we made games on a microsoft notebook! I made a maze as a Quest for the Apples! While on the other hand Dylan made a platform as a Quest for the Blocks. If you would like to see my maze click on the words Quest for the Apples above! When we came home we saw the new born puppies which one of them will be living in the house we are in sometime in May (pictures are as above)! They are SO cute!!! I will post some more pictures next week on our next visit!

Two days in England


Well, we arrived there safe and sound the flight was worth it for it all. On the Monday we arrived and went for a walk ( shopping too ) around the town we're staying in, Marlow. When we got back we had dinner with Mum, Dylan, Alfie and Leanne then we went to bed after some SKY TV. I read for a while and then collapsed into bed for a well deserved sleep.




















On the Tuesday we went to Windsor Castle and...shopping.

At Windsor we saw Queen Mary's HUGE doll house which was a replica of a palace. Then we went into the state rooms and we saw ornate ceilings with gold armour and beautiful chandeliers with amazing detail on everything!!! Next we went to the part that was burned down in the fire. We had a talk to a lady and she said that the Queen sometimes lives in Windsor castle so your not allowed in some of the rooms. After that we went into the big dinning room which had coat of arms all over it and we found Prince William's one and Sir Edmund Hillary's.

We all enjoyed it (except for Dylan as the only boy) and had a great time. When we had picked Alfie up from school we headed home and stayed there for a while then headed off for dinner the next post will say how good the dinner was above this text are some photos on the plane with Piggy.

The wait was boring, the trip was painful… but we made it!!!


Well, today the flight was so boring I watched lots of movies and was still bored but when 12 hours were up we had to wait for 1 hour to get into the gate for the airplane! We went for a walk and we saw 2 American police cars and a yellow fire hydrant. The weather was terrible it was raining there and I took a photo with a police car and the fire hydrant. We had to wait 1 hour at gate 23A. The time went slow so we talked and Dylan and mum played chicktionary and well I was writing this! We headed on our way to board the flight for ANOTHER 12 hour flight this time for England and beyond!!!
