Bath, Somerset

I've been in Bath, Somerset for 3 weeks and my last day is tomorrow. We're then going to Aunty Joanna's house for a few days then Aunty Cecily's. It's been lots of fun and every day has been different. There's a huge playground here with a carousel AND a bouncy castle so mummy and I went there lots. I met my new friend Ettie there and we have had 2 playdates. I will see Ettie again when we are back in Bath before Xmas. I've dressed up a lot in old fashioned clothes and even as a nun at an abbey. I loved it when Aunty Joanna, Aunty Nicola and Uncle Nigel came to stay and also, we spent the day with Celia, a friend of daddy's, and her son Joe in Bristol. We also went to the countryside a couple of times, which was fun. You can even see the countryside from our flat. Mummy and I love going to the old fashioned tea rooms for cream tea - they give you a colour timer so you know when your tea is ready. I've walked a lot every day and there's lots of secret stairs and cobbled streets. We had dinner in an Italian restaurant under ground. There are people playing instruments and singing in the streets every day. Mummy and I went to the Roman Baths at night time and I talked to an old Roman lady who told me stories about life in the olden days.

Blue skies most days!

3 weeks in Edinburgh

Today is my last day in Edinburgh. I've had lots of fun here. I made a special friend, Rowland who I met at the Botanic Gardens and we played together all day. She invited me to her house in Portabello which was by the sea. We're going to be pen friends. Every night I've stayed up later and later and I don't want to wake up in the morning. It's still light when I go to bed at 10 o'clock! I've been to see lots of fun things at The Fringe Festival - my favourite was Cinderella but it was different from the movie - the step mother was on stilts and the prince was a bit chubby. I also loved going on the red story bus when a little girl from the story the man told us got on the bus with her rabbit and I got to pat her. Mummy and I went to see this amazing show where the performer danced with plastic bags. I've seen the giant pandas at the zoo and had lots of fun at the big museum here. My favourite playground has little motorbikes for 3 kids so I went there nearly every day and played with lots of children. Daddy met his friend Adam who he went to school with a long time ago and I got to play with a little girl called Imogen. Grandma and Grandad came up to see us and grandma bought me a lovely new necklace from Stockbridge Market. I've been on double decker buses nearly every day and I like sitting at the top. Daddy's been writing at the local library where I've borrowed lots of books. Everyone is really friendly in Edinburgh - I will be sad to leave tomorrow but am excited about going on 2 trains to Bath.
