Visiting Family

Mum & Dad went into the city on Wednesday and I went along for the ride.

Thought I'd catch up with a couple of family members while in Rundall Mall.




This is cousin Horatio (named in 1999 by Jenny Bridges) I think he wants to work in a circus when he grows up. Look at him balance me on his head. Mum threatened him with the new River Cottage DVD if I was dropped.

If you rub Horatio's nose, its meant to bring you luck.





This is Oliver (named by Sarah Chan 1999) and he's a real environment aware pig. Look at the rubbish he has collected for the bin.

I didn't get to say hi to my 3rd cousin, he was busy letting a lady sit on him while she read her book.

Kids and adults love to sit or climb on my cousins and have their photo taken with one or all of them.

Hope they tell those people to.............

Eat more chicken.

I'm home.

Well I am finally home in my little sewing room. Boy have I had a ripper of a holiday with Aunty and Uncle Bluegreen.

Really want to thank them so much for taking me with them to Europe.

Brought back some souvenirs for mum & dad too.

A holiday isn't a holiday without a postcard arriving the same day or a few days later. Also a souvenir coin from Gibraltar. Plus a DVD to add to mum's collection from River Cottage.

That one I'm not too sure about though.... may need to get mum to watch it first. Might need to flip past the scary parts.

No rest for me though, I'm off to sewing group tomorrow with mum and then into the city to see some of my family.

Also thanks to you, my fans and reader for your comments and questions while I was on holidays.

Remember

Eat more chicken.

Not The Piglet.

Hi Mum,

There is so much to see here in England, I can barely keep up with my postcards!

We spent a day in Bath, that's the name of the city. Its called Bath because they are the only natural hot springs in England. The Romans built a big bathing resort there as they thought that the water was able to cure many ills.





The currant city of Bath is actually built over the ruins of the Roman city.




But you can still see much of it by going underground and the baths have been partially restored.

We then went to Devon and stayed a couple of nights at a farm. The country roads are very narrow and there are tall bushes called hedgerows along either side.

The closer we got to the farm the narrower they got until there was only room for one car and if a car came the other way then someone had to back up! Fortunately that didn't happen much.

We had dinner at a town called Lyme Regis. The roads are very narrow there too and there are traffic lights in case a car is coming the other way.

But the bus drivers still managed to get double decker buses through the narrow streets.



The next day at the farm we went for a walk and caught up with some cousins of mine.

After we went to River Cottage Headquarters. We had a tour of the yummy looking vegetables and then lunch.

Like the size of this garden.

I am not a rabbit!

After lunch I was introduced to the chef and he tried to cook me! Luckily the were only joking but I wasn't impressed.

Mummmmmeeee!

Eat more chicken less pork!!!!!!
