Dover and Oxted

Saturday, June 25th, 2005

On Thursday Granny Fruit and GrandPapa go on an outing. This time we joined them on their trip to Dover Castle and Samphire Hoe. We first went to the castle - we climbed all the way to the top, and then waved at Granny and GrandPapa who were sitting at the bottom. Next stop was […]

Cricket and London - again

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

On Monday we drove back up to London to see my cousins again. In the evening Mummy and Daddy went to the Oval with Bernie to see Asia vs. the rest of the world cricket match, leaving me in Hampstead; luckily I was well behaved and didn’t cause Uncle Red and Auntie Grib too many […]

There is a wildlife centre (a cross between a zoo and a farm) near Uncle Oswald’s house in East Grinstead which we went to with Uncle Oswald, Auntie Shirley andElizabeth and Mary.

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway

Monday, June 13th, 2005

We had a day out on the trains today - at the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch Railway. It seems that Dad spent large parts of his holidays when he was small chuffing up and down this line, and so he was as excited as I was. We arrived at Hythe just in time to watch […]

At my grandparents

Sunday, June 12th, 2005

I’ve started my two week holiday in England, and been having a good time so far. After a long flight, which I slept through (apart from an hour-long howling and Teletubby watching session in the middle), we arrived at my grandparents house in Oxted. On Sunday, I met up again with all my English cousins: […]
