Hiya people :)
Sorry about the lack of posts, I actually completely forgot about it.
Whats been happening since London. On 12th my Cousin Garry took me to Tropical Birland, basically a place where Tropical Birds fly around. It was amazing, I held a Macaw!
I've also stayed over at my Aunt's, Uncles and Cousins house, best game of Cluedo ever. Also it was around this time that I started getting freaked out about the floods back home, so yeah.
On the 15th I went to the Black Country Living Museum, which basically explains iself, I got to hold a gun that was actually used in WW1! It was an amzing place, and they do the best chips ever. They're cooked in beef drippings.
Then yesterday (21st) Garry took me to a few places, we went to the National Memorial Arboretum, this Canal place, it was like the heart of the Canal's or something, I can't remember properly. Then we went to the Heart Of The County, which is a little shopping village. Also went to my Uncles and Aunts shop, and I saw a Euro for the first time! I also went out to dinner that night, Italian, yum!
So that's all I've been up to, single digit countdown til I get back now :)

All About London
Went to London on Monday, have very limited internet, and only got back this afternoon, so first post for a while :)
Here's an outline of what happened :)
Monday: GOT THERE! Twas quite funny trying to find our way round the Tube, and just trying to get around, but really fun! Went to Harrods, got a few pressie's for family ;) Really just attempted to try and plan the week ahead.
Tuesday: First up went to Westminster Abbey, weren't allowed to take photo's inside, but it was amazing. There were graves of I think just over 100 people. I saw Sir Isaac Newtons and Charles Darwin's grave. We got the tour around, so we go to go to a few extra places in the Abbey, it was amazing. That afternoon we went to the London Flim Museum (someone gave us a flyer for this earlier in the day), WOW! I saw the REAL Tardis and Darleks used in earlier Doctor Who episodes and heaps! Some photo's from there are on the FB album (the link will be in this post). THat night we went to the theatre, I didn't know what we were going to see until we got there. WE SAW WICKED! It was the best show I have ever seen!
Wednesday: Early rise, went on the London Eye first up :) Wasn't as amazing as I thought it would be, but still pretty cool! That day was the day we took the tour bus places, first we went to Trafalgar Square, really pretty :) But it's famous for the HUGE number of pigeons, I only saw two :( that was quite disappointing. But next to that, was a gallery were some Vincent Van Gogh painting's were being exhibited! It was brilliant, it's so strange to see them for real, after seeing them on TV and on the internet. They were beautiful :) My favourite was the vase of sunflowers (not sure of it's name though :S)
Finally we went to Madame Tusaudes! That too was amazing! In fact, everything I did was amazing! Madame Tusaudes has heaps of lifelike mannequins of celebs and scientists and other famous people. Pictures are in my Album :)
Thursday: TUBE DAY! First up went to Greenwich to see the Meridian line :) It was really rainy and foggy that day, so far we'd been blessed with good weather. It was really weird to think about the significance of the place where I was standing, it was an awesome experience :)
Then we went to the Millennium Dome, now known as the O2, to see a Titanic Expo :) Some people will know, I'm particially obsessed with Titanic, so I thought this was absolutely brilliant. There were so many items from on board, the warning bell, plates, windows, you name it, they had it. One thing that for the first time really made me properly think about the people, was a set of specticals, next to them was a photo of a man who went down with the ship, wearing those specs :S I also got to touch a piece of the metal used on the haul of the ship :D
After, to all those Potter fans :P I went to Kingcross train station, and saw Platform 9 3/4!
Friday: Today, got up early, packed, went to Harrods, bought a few more pressie's, then made our way back to Atherstone :/ had a truly amazing trip!
Here's the link to my photo album :) Again, you probably cant see it, but click on the space in the next line and then you'll get there :)

What's been happening . . .
So, on Christmas eve Gary (family friend) took me to the movies to see Meet the parent's: Little Fockers, we went GoldClass :O That was heaps of fun!
Then, well of course Christmas was a few days ago :) That was heaps of fun, got to watch my brothers open they're pressie's via Skype, and they watched me open a few of mine. Oh what would I do without Skype?
And yesterday I went to Stonehenge :) It seems so wierd to see it, it's only maybe 20metres away from the road and you can get prety close to it. But it was really cold, so we (Jason{Cousin}, Rochelle{Cousin}, David) left after about a half hour. Got a few things from there for people :) Wasn't really much there other than magnets though . . .Oh just to let you know we drove about 6 - 7hrs there and back :S
Nothing else has really been happening . . . . SHall update again soon :)

HIYA!
Hi all :)
Another update. Well, I'm almost postive that I'm gonig to have a white Christmas, it's been snowing and the temperature is really low, don't think it's all going to be able to melt in two days.
It was my Granddad's birthday on the 20th, so we had a party for him on the 18th (I think) that was fun :)
Lat Friday Rochelle upducted me and we got to go ice-skating! That was soo much fun, Rochelle was amazing! First time and she didn't fall over once, and kept doing fancy looking turns by mistake! I only fell over once, but that was while attempting going backwards (fastish) turning around and going fowards, that was bound to fail :P
Tomorrow, some family (Aunty Maggie and Gary) are going to take me into Birmingham to see a movie and some others things, were going to go to the German Markets, but sadly they closed today :(
Counting down to the DW Christmas special, yes Australia I get to see it about 10hrs before you! :P
That's pretty much been all that's happened :|
Here again are the links to my FB England albums (need two now, cause I have to many photo's :| )
You don't need a Facebook account to see them, just follow the link :)

Yes, I'm still alive!
Hi All! Again sorry for the lack of updates. . . . . ..
What's happened in the past 10 days. Well a few days ago I went to this manor house with my Nan's church group. It was really pretty but there was a bit too much time spent there :) On Monday I got to go to the local Scout group :D it was heaps of fun, spread the rumour's of Drop Bears for anyone who know's of the rumour :P It's really amazing to know that the English basically model Australian life on Neighbours D: Yesterday went to my Aunty's Lolly shop :) Fun, as you would expect!
Tomorrow, my beautiful cousin is planning on abducting me again :) Which I can't wait for! On Saturday is my Granddad's birthday party so that's going to be fun. . . . . . . . Can't think of much else that's happened. . . .. .
Ah, yes, since the snow stopped a few days ago (not sure how long it's been :S thinking about 10days) no snow just a bit of frost. Well this afternoon it started snowing again :| Supposedly we're going to have a white christmas, which will be great, just hope it stop's after that. London at the start of the new year, want to actually be able to go places!
Okay, will try to update again soon :)

!!!UPDATE ALERT!!!
Okay, firstly, sorry for the lack of posts :S
So what's happened since Tuesday, well it's only today stopped snowing, and I'm kinda pleased, it really is only a novelty for a short while, it gets annoying not being able to drive anywhere :|
So have shovelled snow a few times, made a snowman with it, pretty pathetic attempt it was only knee high (will upload photo's in a separate post). Pantamine I went to see a, which is like a Christmas show, that involes the crowd, I was told it was really hard to explain what it was, and I now understand why! But it was amazing! It was Cinderella Beautiful, loved the Ugly step sisters :P Two men :P
The other day I went and saw my cousin/sister/wife Rochelle <3 and met her boyfriend, Dave :) WE went to Nottingham, saw some random castle, and went to a 700yo tea-house :O really good tea :)
Today, saw my cousin Sam, and his dad, my Uncle Duncan. Sam's going off to some place with the army, so this is the first time I've seen him in over a year. We had a huge christmas dinner there, with his family (which includes Rochelle) just to people who don't know my family tree, like some stalkers (Connor) would :P So that was amazing. . . . . . . .
Not sure what's happening tomorrow, I think that we're going to try and get my trumpet :D
So yeah, that's basically everything that's happened. . . . . . . Hope to update you with more soon :)
