Wanna Beach...

Went to the "wanna beach" with mum and dad yesterday - well, that's what mum calls it. Actually, it is a man-made cove located in a new housing estate by the sea and its quite nice - when the sun shines of course! Here are a couple of pictures of me posing separately with my mum and dad. 

Thank You!

Just wanted to say Thank You! for all my Birthday cards and presents. I had a really good 1st birthday in England with my grandparents, cousins and friends - so a big, big thank you to Grandma and Granddad, Amma and Afi, auntie Linda, uncle Steve and auntie Jo and Josh and Harry, Jenny and Mike, Angie, and Jenny and Rob from "next-door." 

Daddy, I'm coming home now...

Look out, I'm coming home! I'm looking forward to meeting my daddy tonight - it's been too long since I saw him last. Well, I've seen him on that skype thing but that's not the same. I can't give him hugs and kisses on the skype, can I?

I've had a lovely time with grandma and granddad and I'm going to miss them a lot. But like they say; "There is no place like home".

So daddy, be prepared, I'm almost walking on my own now so I will keep you on your toes the whole time...

Happy Birthday!

It's my birthday today - I'm one! Me and mummy are still in England staying with Grandma and Granddad - in the rain! Daddy came home from Belarus last night and is in Iceland - but I talked to him on that Skype thingy this morning - or rather he talked to me while I played with Grandma and Granddad and pushed my cart about. My daddy wished me a Happy Birthday! 

I hope my mummy gives me something nice to eat today, some cake would be good - well, let's face it, anything would be better than the bird poop she failed to warn me about when we went to the beach in Iceland a couple of weeks ago. Personally, I prefer the kind of food my Granddad gives me. I'm going to miss my grandparents when I go back to Iceland on Thursday. My Granddad and Grandma have been playing with me all the time. They've raised the bar on entertainment and Mum is gonna have to raise her game when we get back - or she'll be hearing about it. And mum, no more bird poop for lunch, either! 

Let me go home...

Another summer day

Has come and gone away

In Paris and Rome

But I wanna go home...

May be surrounded by

A million people I

Still feel all alone

I just wanna go home

Oh, I miss you, you know...

Another aeroplane

Another sunny place

I'm lucky, I know

But I wanna go home

Mmmm, I've got to go home...

Let me go home

I'm just too far from where you are

I wanna come home...

The little helper...

I had a busy day today. I started early in the morning you know the usual thing, checked if the "bar" was open (which it was), had some porridge, played with mummy and had my morning nap. After my nap mummy, granddad and I went to Winchester for lunch, that was really nice. We came home, I had my afternoon nap and after that I was full of energy again.

I was helping grandma with the dishes and the dinner. It got a little bit messy but hey, people have to notice when you are in the kitchen... I cooked fish, potatoes and vegetables, delicious if you ask me... To top it all off, granddad gave me some icecream, yummie in the tummy! Spoke to my daddy on skype, who I miss so much, before I crashed into my bed...good night!!!

Daddy, when are you coming home???

I'm in England now, with my mummy, visiting grandma and granddad and I'm having so much fun. We've been feeding the ducks with bread - yes they have ducks in England too - and I've been playing a lot with grandma, granddad and auntie Linda. Unfortunately, we had to take Linda home this evening because she has to work tomorrow. Well... it was fun while it lasted.
I don't know who's more tired in the evenings, me or grandma? She chases me all day long and gives me a push on a little car they have for me. And granddad is always trying to smuggle me some goodies when mummy isn't around. Anyway it is wonderful to be the centre of attention...
One thing is missing though and that's my daddy. He's in Belarus with the U-19 Iceland women's team playing in the UEFA final tournament. They drew their first game against Norway today 0-0.
I miss you daddy and I love you from the heart of my bottom...good night y'all!

Talkin' 'Bout My Girl...

Well, I guess you'll say

what can make me feel this way?

My girl. (My girl, my girl).

Happy Birthday Grandma!

It's my Grandma Alice's birthday today - Happy Birthday Grandma! Me and mummy are going to England next week to stay with her and Granddad. I'm looking forward to that - I remember from when I was at their house at Easter that they had so many interesting things to examine and play with, unfortunately they were just out of my reach then but I'm bigger now and I am much quicker at grabbing things. Grandma and Granddad are going to need to be on their toes., so it is just as well they are in the South of France right now relaxing - they aren't going to get much rest when I'm around!
