It's A Boy!

I just wanted to say a quick hello and congratulations to my friend Sanna and her mummy and daddy in north Sweden. They had a new addition to their family on February 1st. A little boy born on the same day as his sister! I hope I can go and visit them this year.
Happy Birthday Sanna!
How many kids get a brother for a birthday present?

Jul!

As usual we went to Sweden for Christmas staying at Amma and Afi's place. My aunt Linda and my uncle Steinni and aunt Lisa were there along with my cousins Amanda, Emma and Jakob. And I can't forget Depill the dog and his brother, Bamse.
We were lucky to get away because the day after we left it was chaos at Heathrow and other UK airports with thousands of passengers stranded as flight after flight was cancelled due to the heavy snowfalls and adverse weather conditions. As it was, we were delayed four hours because the plane coming from Gothenberg was late taking-off because of the snow in Sweden that morning. But we eventually got underway and after the two-hour flight we landed at Landvetter Airport where Amma was waiting to meet us. With all the snow it was definitely beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
Of course I couldn't wait to get out and about and go on sled rides and build a snowman but as usual I got a bad cold and had to stay in for a few days. But that was ok because I had lots to do to get ready for "Jul" as they call it in Sweden, including decorating the tree and making a gingerbread house.
It was lovely to meet my cousins and my aunts and uncles. I got so many nice presents but the best thing was just to spend time with Amma and Afi, Depill and my auntie Linda. My auntie Linda is really, really nice, she watched my Timmy Time and Disney movies with me. I really hope she can come on holiday with me this summer.

It was great fun to go outside and ride on my sled through the deep snow - and to build a snowman. It was very, very cold though. I don't think it ever got above -10 for the entire three weeks we were there - but you just dress warm and it is no problem. Depill loved going for walks - although he had to jump so much because he only has little legs.

Hey Santa!

I met Father Christmas yesterday. I was a little shy but we did end up having a chat after he asked me what I wanted him to bring me for Christmas. He gave me a present to take home with me. I believe I am going to like Christmas very, very much.

To Winter...

Today, I took mummy for a sled-ride in the snow. It was a real effort.

From Autumn...

A week ago I was out in the garden sweeping and picking up leaves...

Down On The Farm...

On a beautiful Autumn sunday morning, with the trees all russet and gold, my mummy and daddy took me to Cholderton Charlie's Rare Breeds Farm. We were able to feed the pigs and goats and ducks and sheep as well as visit the bunnies and chickens. I saw some "shorsheys" or horses as big people call them and I played in an indoor playground with a huge slide and climbing frames. It was really, really fun and I hope I can go back again soon. Here is a picture of my mummy at the farm - she is the one on the right wearing the black hat!

Sparkle!

Last Friday, November 5th, was Guy Fawkes Night in England. Its when we celebrate the failed attempt by a man of that name to blow up the Houses of Parliament, several hundred years ago. We went to a bonfire and fireworks display at my cousin Josh and Harry's school, just as we did last year. It was very noisy with all those bangs and cracks of fireworks exploding in the night sky, showering the heavens with brightly coloured sparks - but it was fun and I even held my own sparklers.
