Always time for Timmytime!

I've made a bunch of new friends since arriving back in the UK. I see them every day, early morning, late at night and often in the car - they're the characters on my favourite tv show of all time - Timmytime!
Timmy is a little lamb with a lot to learn. He has just turned 3 (in sheep years) and being the only lamb in the flock, Timmy has been used to getting his own way. Now for the first time, Timmy is going to have to learn to get along with other little animals attending the same nursery school. Bit like me, I suppose, when I get round to going to school!

Bonfire Night!

On November 5th I celebrated my first Guy Fawkes Night. And for those on my non-English side of the family I'll quote Wikipedia to help you understand why we Brits light a bonfire and shoot fireworks into the night sky.

"Guy Fawkes Night is an annual celebration on the evening of 5th November. It marks the downfall of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic Conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the Houses of Parliament, in London, capital of England.

It is primarily marked in the United Kingdom where, by an Act of Parliament called the Thanksgiving Act, it was compulsory until 1859, to celebrate the deliverance of the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland.

In the United Kingdom, celebrations take place in towns and villages across the country in the form of both private and civic events. They involve fireworks

displays and the building of bonfires on which traditionally "guys" are burnt, although this practice is not always observed in modern times. These "guys" are traditionally effigies of Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the Gunpowder Plot conspirators."

So now you know! It was a lot of fun. I went to a display organised by the school my cousins Josh and Harry attend in Pewsey, Wiltshire. My Grandma and Grandad also went with me and my mum and dad.

I'm Back!

I haven't been very active on my blog lately so I thought it was about time I brought you all up to date. Actually, I have been wondering if it would be better for me to be on Facebook instead, since the whole world and their uncle seems to be on it. I'll talk to mum and dad about that and get back to you - but for the time being I think I'll continue blogging - and playing my piano without my pants on!

So where am I? England! Me, mum and dad are staying at my Grandma and Grandad's place - we've been here since October 5 and I've been having a great time. The weather has been warm - well warm for this time of year and certainly a lot more warmer and a great deal less windy than Iceland. It means that I spend a lot of time outside visiting towns and parks and shopping malls and coffee houses and feeding chickens and going to creepy crawlers where I get to do a lot of jumping and rolling and tumbling and crawling. In fact, I've got so much to tell you I don't know where to begin - but I suppose Bonfire Night is as good a place to start...
