First stop: Brighton....
When I arrived at Heathrow (a little too early in the morning) uncle Monty picked me up in his
mini! It was a lovely day and before we went to Brighton we stopped in at Susus (grandma) for the day. We had lunch out in the garden and I went for a wander, found some raspberries on the vines which was yummy!
We said goodbye after lunch and drove back to Brighton. It was beautiful like always! We dropped my stuff off in the flat then when to go catch the end of an air-show down the road. It was my first ever and very noisy! They had loads of antique planes and re-enacted a scene from WW2 which everyone loved. They also had a very strange looking helicopter that is being used in Iraq now, I didn't like that one much!
My time in Brighton was extremely enjoyable, I also went and worked with Monty for two days (he is an editor of miniworld, a magazine about...minis!) I went shopping in the lanes and
bought some shoes, and of course went down to the pier!
From there on....it all gets a little jumbled! A lot of traveling around London, and a lot of train tickets to!
After Brighton I went back to Susus for one night and then on to my aunties (Mary), she has just recently had twins and I met them for the first time! They were extremely sweet and I fell
in love instantly! And of course Gracie and Harry who are so obviously English! With blonde hair, blue eyes and white skin....I love them too! I made friends
with Barbara who is their Au Pair and the next day Mary, Roo and the kids went off to Church Farm and I stayed for the weekend with Barbara and Ali (cousin) came as well. It was a very fun weekend indeed! I went clubbing with Ali and her friends and caught a whole lot of trains.
On Sunday we got locked out of the house and had to do a lot of waiting around for Alis friend to come with the keys!


Then that night I caught another train to Tessas house. Saw the family for a night and looked after little Rosie...well not so little...on Monday and had some bonding time! I had to try being a child again and played games like 'hiding the toys around the house and finding them, and then afterwards we get a snack' and 'who is hiding under my bed!'.
The next week was quite the same as the first! I went back to all the aunties houses again for seconds! As well as seeing Karin & Robin
(some family friends in London) which was very fun!
Then at the end my last stop was Church Farm. I had a great last few days there, but I didn't go on the motorbike! Next time! On my last night Hessie, Kash, Adam and I went out to dinner at an Italian restaurant and had an extremely.....uhhhhhh strange waitress!
Then it was goodbyes and off to Spain! Although, not as easily as I had planned unfortunately...when we arrived at the airport -after Lukie and I had had our fun with the free wheel chairs in the parking lot- Ryanair informed me that I wasn't allowed to fly because I was only 15 and they had changed the rules about flying. So I panicked of course! But luckily Kash was there and in the end I booked tickets with Easyjet. But we had to drive back to Church Farm as it was later that day from a different airport. I spent the day reading my book on the trampoline and trying to tan in the English sun! So I have vowed never to fly on Ryanair again and so far I am doing a good job of it!
Two weeks is never enough but I had an amazing time with everyone there and can't wait to see them all again!
