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 :)
