Brunel and Sophie in Spain and at home in the garden!

In the Easter holidays Brunel and I went to Spain.

On the day we left for Spain, we woke up very early to get to the airport. We checked in and then, went for breakfast! An hour later we flew to Palma in Spain. My grandparents live there and we stayed with them. I played with Laura and Luca, my Swiss friends. We did lots of things together, we went swimming, and we played tennis, and after tea we played Monopoly and Ludo.

Brunel came to Spain with me and had lots of fun.

When we came home, the weather was very hot and Brunel had great fun in my garden. Look at the pictures of him having a good time in the bushes, with Bonnie the lab and on my brother's bike!

Nessina's trip to centre parcs

Nessina came to Sherwood Forest for one week. It was very tiring due to all the cycling!

We did lots of activities which Nessina enjoyed very much. First we tried crazy golf which was fun and tricky. Nessina unfortunately found that the gold-putter was too long for her.

Nessina enjoyed the archery most of all. She got a bull's-eye after a few attempts. We enjoyed pretending to be Robin Hood.

Hopefully Nessina won't need to use her new skill with the wildlife.

What do you think?

Nessie's Weekend with Ben and Sam

This is Nessie waiting to go in to the lion enclosure at west midlands safari park.

Nessie is looking out of the window at the white lions. One of them licked my dad's new car!

This deer licked Nessina's head. She didn't like it much. I had to put her in the wash back at the hotel. One deer wanted to chew her flipper but she wasn't having any of that.

Nessina nearly jumped out of the window to join the elephants! She wanted to have a closer look at the water.

Ben

Nessie is watching the match and is enjoying it alot. Ben & I are on tour with our team. We have been playing rugby for a long time now.

Sam

Nessina Celebrates with Matthew & Jonathan

We took Nessina to our Laser Quest Party, it was quite noisy and dark and she needed to sit on our Dad's hand. We also took her to our football match on Sunday. We think she had a good time although she didn't bring us much luck as we lost!

Brunel spends the weekend with Iain!

On Monday Brunel made friends with my big brown bear ‘Queen’, Brunel loves cuddles! He came to school with me most days.

On Friday night he came to karate with me and had a great time – he was a natural!

We went to the garden centre on Saturday and Brunel liked the plants. He heard that I have a greenhouse so he went out to see it – in the pictures he is relaxing amongst the flowers! He even made friends with the flower pot men!

On Sunday we went to Edinburgh Zoo and Brunel loved the polar bear. When we came home he helped Dad and me to make a steak and vegetable pie - he said it was yummy! In the pictures Brunel is sitting outside the shop in the sunshine and talking to the polar bear.

Brunel enjoyed staying with me and I would like him to say for another week some time soon.

Brunel spends the week with Mariam.

Brunel came home for the weekend and on Sunday we went to ‘Deep Sea World’ in Edinburgh to see all the amazing sea creatures. Brunel came with us and he was able to touch a starfish and a crab – he was very brave. Brunel saw sting rays, sharks, poisonous red eyed frogs and catfish. After we saw the sharks, we went to the cafe to get some fish and chips. Brunel liked the ketchup most of all. For pudding, Brunel ate some chocolate and ice-cream with strawberry sauce!

After lunch we went to see the eels. Then Brunel got his face painted. The man painted a dolphin on the side of his cheek and it looked sweet. I took two photos of Brunel.

Do not worry about the first one! The shark is stuffed and he cannot harm little Brunel.

The second one is of Brunel sitting beside the angel fish.

At the end of the afternoon we all went home and we had burgers and chips for tea! It was a great day and Brunel had lots of fun!

Brunel spends the weekend with Miss Hulbert!

Brunel came home with me this weekend and he had lots of fun. He made great friends with my black labrador Luath and they spent hours playing in the garden.

Then he met my nephews Archie, Hamish and baby Ruaraidh. Hamish looked after Brunel on Saturday and together they went to Perth to buy new shoes for baby Ruaraidh.

On Monday morning Brunel had porridge for his breakfast - he loved it!

Now he is back in school and enjoying himself with the boys and girls. Mariam will take him home this week and he is looking forward to having some more fun.
