This week Percy travelled to the Airforce Base in Edinburgh, South Australia with flight Sargeant Glen McCarthy. He was able to see an F18 Hornet. Unfortunately they weren't flying, so he couldn't take a spin in the F18 Hornet.

Fish & Chips Anyone???

Holy fish cake batman........ check out what we saw in Port Pirie last weekend.

While driving to our hotel, we came across this Barnacle Bill shop. What an interesting turn of events for this church after it was retired.

My mum's nephew was married.....no.....................not at this place. Ha ha.

But she say to her brother this church would have been cheaper, married at the back of the church and all guests handed a fish pack on the way out.

So if you don't want to eat more chicken this time, how about some fish instead???

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.............

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.

White Cliffs of Dover.

Dear Mum,

The next time you hear from me, I will be in Australia. We get on the big plane tomorrow for the long flight home. I must say that although I have enjoyed my holiday, I am looking forward to being back home with you again.





Mind you, it hasn't been that easy to leave. When it came to flying back to England from Gibralter, Cousin BJ didn't want me to go, Aunty BG stood up for me. Then when we went to the airport, they put us on a bus for Spain instead!

At first I thought it might have been a trick to try and kidnap me again, but it ended out that the planes couldn't land due to fog and we were going to another airport and made it back to London eventually.




Once back in London we drove to Dover and saw the famous White Cliffs and looked across the Channel to France.




Got to pack my bags, looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love
Percy.



Dear Percy,


Can't wait to see you again. The White Cliffs look stunning and I'm glad Aunty BG is taking care of you so well.

Love
Mum.

Gibralter

Hi Mum,

I am having so much fun travelling the world and making new friends.


I made a new friend while I was in Wales. His name is Draig Goch (Red Dragon). He will be coming home to Melbourne with us.



After Wales we flew to Gibralter. This is on the very tip of Spain, but is English territory. It is very small but has lots of interesting history.




This is one of the famous pillars of Hercules which legend has as marking the end of the world and the gateway to Hades.





Gibtalter played a very important part in the world wars and there is lots of big gun everywhere. Most of Gibralter is a big limestone rock the looks solid on the outside but is full of natural caves and man made tunnels.




Most of the tunnels were man made to put the big guns in to defend it.



Halt!! Who goes there??

There are also wild but friendly monkeys here.




P.S. I wasn't really in the picture with the monkeys. Aunty BG was too worried that they would run away with me, so she did something clever on the computer to make it look like I was right there with them.


Love Percy.



Dear Percy,

Glad your still enjoying your holiday. Sounds like you having a blast. So glad the monkeys never got too close to you.

Love Mum.

Safe In Salisbury

Hi mum,

Lechyd da i chwi nawr ac yn oes oesoedd!!!

That's Welsh for "Good health to you now and forever." Guess where I am??

After Devon we drove to Salisbury.



At Salisbury we visited a Rare Breeds Farm where I met another cousin.




More Roman ruins in England.



We also visited the ruins of another castle



Today we visited a little village on the coast of Wales called Portmeirion. Uncle BG was very excited as this is the site of one of his favourite childhood shows, The Prisoner.


Its a very pretty village.



A view from a window in Portmeirion.

Da Boch chi (Goodbye)

Love Percy.


Dear Percy,

So glad you have emailed me and sent some new photos........ I'll explain when your safe back home.

Love mum.
