Tuesday 18 December.

After we broke down in Belgium we went to Holland, Belgium again Luxemburg Germany Austria then back to Germany and now I am in Holland again

We got to the campsite at Brixen in Austria and it was really really deep snow and loads of people were skiing. I have got pics but I have lost my card reader.

The trouble was it was SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO cold the motorhome just completely froze up. We were warm inside but everything was just FROZEN

and nothing really worked. Thyere was ice all over inside even though it was warm it was wierd. Mum and dad decided the motorhome could not cope with it so we left after two days, all me and Sam got to do was sledge which was good fun. None of us wanted to leave but we had to. We were going to go to a different site but it didnt have a ski bus so it was no good really. So we went back to Germany and decided we were going to Holland for Christmas to a place with loads to do. The pic is our motorhome  in Germany taken from Luxemburg

Friday 30 Nov 2007

We got the ferry to Calais. It didnt take long but me and Sam were laughing at all the lorry drivers who were watching Tom and Gerry

We stayed on an aire at Calais for a few nights. Everything was going wrong with the motorhome and we thought we might have to go back to England.

Anyway we set off but in Brussels an alarm went off in the motorhome and there was smoke coming in. It was SCARY . We got the breakdown to come and a man came

who looked really cool with long hair but he didnt do anything. Mum reckons he didnt want to ruin his hair. He got his boss to come and he came in a Porche Cayenne. We thought he was coming in a breakdown truck !!!!!! Anyway the one with long hair went off to get a big truck and the boss told my dad that it was our lucky day cos he knew a garage that mended American Motorhomes.

Sam went in the breakdown truck and we followed in the car. The man driving the lorry was MAD  He drove really really fast. Sam said he was making silly noises when he was swinging round all the parked cars. Mum was crying cos she thought he was going to crash it.

Anyway the man at the garage said he could mend it and we stayed there a week sort of on the street outside, but actually it was OK we got the telly working at least.

But then the worst thing happened..our car broke down and it would be too expensive to mend it so now we havent got a car with us


Today we moved from the garage to Holland and tomorrow we are going to a Christmas market in a big cave at somewhere near here called Velkenberg or something like that.

The pic is where we were at the garage

Last week me mum and Sam went on the London Eye. It was really good and we had a great view cos it was a lovely day.

We had a picnic in Tralfagar Square and we walked all over St James park, Buckingham Palace , Leicester Square and lots of other places. We saw pelicans , squirrels and a load of wild life.

When we were in London we went to have a walk round Covent Garden and went to the British Museum and saw the Rosetta Stone. I will write about it when I come back.

Our campsite is floooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooded and there is none here except rabbits and ducks and geese. We are OK but we thought we had to move but we didnt.

I went to see my grandma and went to see Leah but only saw her for a second or so cos she went to sleep.

I got enrolled at Guides but it has finished for the summer now but next week I am sleeping out doing my ONC in outdoor living skills. I hope I pass cos it counts a bit like a GCSE so it would be good. The week after me mum and Sam and some of my friends at Camp are going on a sailing boat for a week. We are learning how to sail and have to do all the work, cooking, cleaning. I cant wait as it is something I have never done before. Some of them have been on it before and all they say is I will be sea sick. We have to agree what food to take and cook. Some are vegetarian, everyone wont eat something and I do not know how we will all agree. We have to cook for the crew as well so mum says we cant live on pot noodles.

We have got a new car, well not new it cost 250 pounds but its good. Mum says its hers.So now weve got two cars and a motorhome??????????????
Dad hasnt worked out how to tow two cars at the same time yet

Saturday 23rd June

It is my birthday tomorrow so please send presents. Today I did a parade for guides for a Carnival. We all got dressed up as red Indians. It was good.

Last week we went to see the Queen and Tony Blair at my Uncle Johns school. They were there for  a memorial for the Falklands war. The Queen stood right in front of me and talked to some little girls but she didnt speak to me. That was the nearest I have ever been to a Queen. She was nice.

Mum and dad got dressed up and went to Royal Ascot. Mum won tickets worth 750 pounds each and they had meals and champagne all day.  They really enjoyed it, but they didnt win on the races, nor did I Mum also won tickets to see the semi final of Britains got talent. She told me you had to be 18 to go so she went with her friend. They got a free hotel and loads of sweets. When she got back she told me there were loads of kids there. Its not fair I never get to go anywhere

Monday 11th June.

I went to guide camp. It was good we did loads of stuff but on Sunday it poured with rain all day. ALL the other guide groups went home but we didn't. We stayed until Monday cos we are a TOUGH guide group. There were 24 of us sleeping in a 16 man tent. It was raining so hard and it was soooooooooo windy you couldnt sleep.

I went to an audition to be in a play and I got in I was happy. It is called Dracula Spectacular and we do it on Halloween so we have got loads and loads to practise. I have to go every Sunday til the end of October

My friend Maria came for a couple of days. We slept in our tent and we went to watch Pirates of the Carribean. 3. Apparantly Orlando Bloom goes in the cinema that we went in in Henley. I dont know if that  is  true but loads of famous people live round here.

We are going to see the Queen and Tony Blair on Thursday. BORING  Boring Boring. They are visiting the school where my uncle teaches.

Mum has won tickets to Ascot Ladies Day and wants a new dress, hat, shoes ....

Friday   25 th May

We went canoeing to an open day at a sailing school a few weeks ago
I didn't really enjoy it tho. Sam did, so did Mum she a go at  sailing a dinghy.

We went for more snow boarding lessons this week, it  was really  hot  and sweaty, I got a headache from doing it. I was well enough to go with Georgia to a BBQ & sleep over.

So I think we have done quite well!!!

On Monday we had a Greek day at camp, there were 4 teams Trojans, Sparticans, Olypians and Corinthians.
and we had to get points by doing things. I got extra points because I made my costume on my own and I made a shoe like the Greeks would have worn. My team the Olympians came 3rd.








There were  Olympic games and a Trojan war with a Trojan horse. We had a lunch with food that you would have eaten if you were an ancient Greek, we had to trade I wasn't happy because we had awful food and nobody wanted to trade.
They have been making a video at camp to advertise it & it will be on their web site. http://www.homeeducators.co.uk/heroeseducationalcentre_12917.html



Today I am going on Guide camp until Monday. So got to go and pack.



Sunday 6th May
I have joined a cricket club for girls. It's good. We should have had our first match today but it has been postponed to three weeks time. We have got matches everyweek. Sam played his first match for the U 15s. against Henley. He was out for 000000000 .He is playing for the U 13s on Tuesday. I think he has got two matches every week.

Grandma came to see us for a few days. She and mum took me to a drama school. They started learning a production of Les Miserables but I didnt really enjoy it because of all the singing. I am going to try a different place next Saturday. We all went to Portsmouth to see Maria and her family. I hadnt seen her for ages and we had a good time talking about everything. I think me and Sam have found a place to get FREE guitar lessons. Some of the others at Camp are getting them. It is something to do with a grant that they can get.

I have been getting ready for guide camp. My friend Georgia has joined and she is going. Her dog had a puppy but it died. Then for about three days she was really unhappy but when Sam went break dancing with Georgias brother, Georgia and the dog Molly were sitting in the car an Molly had another puppy. Georgia didnt even realize til her mum came back. Theyve called the puppy LUCKY. The vet cant believe it.

Last week a load of us went for a snowboarding lesson I was cool !!! The man said probably three lessons and we can do it on our own.

I have won a competition. Me and mum have been doing loads. Ive won some horse riding clothes worth about 70 pounds. Mum hasnt won anything
My friend Jazmins mum and dad have got a motorhome and they came to our site for a few days. It was GREAT to have someone intelligent to talk to instead of Sam all the time.

The pic is a bit of our village

Thursday 19th April.

I forgot about my biggest news. I am going to be a bridesmaid for John and Rachel in July 2008. I LOVE being a bridesmaid.

I have been for a sleepover at my friend Georgia from the HE centre ( we call it camp) She has a pig, a sheep, a goat,3 ducks, 3 rabbits,
7 baby guinea pigs, 3 adult guinea pigs, a chinchilla, a cat and a dog who should be giving birth on sat or sun!!!!!!!
I had a great time and went ice-skating

Sunday 14th April

I have been soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy in the last two weeks. We went up north to the village where we used to live, saw my friends and had a sleep over. Mum went out with all her friends. The next day I went to see Hayley and Leah and then had a sleep over at Johns. By the way John has got in the Police and he is really happy. We went for a Nandos with Hayley. After we stayed at Grandmas for a couple of days and went to see great grandma. I bought myself a camcorder.

Last weekend me and Sam went to Jazmins party. We went to watch Mr Bean, went for a Pizza at Frankie and Bennies and then went bowling. We had two games and I came third both times. I had a GREAT time . I really enjoyed it. When I got back our friends were here. Mark and Kerry with Anthony, Jay and Jenny but Maria was not with them. She was at a special thingy for a week for specially gifted writers. She used to not go to school but she does now.

This last week we did Teen Challenge. We did alsorts, Rock Climbing, sports, potery, Lazer Quest ( coooooool ) Orienteering, survival skills, like animal tracking and eating berries ! I did some cooking and we did Its a Knockout which was really really good. It was like a bouncy castle assault. It was hard work, especially SHOUTING for everyone. Our team won one game and  lost one.  After that we had a disco which finished at 10 oclock on Friday night. Saturday me and Sam just spent all day doing nothing ,except talking on MSN.

We are having a barbeque today it is really hot.

Friday 30th March.
I am looking forward to this weekend cos me mum and Sam are going to see our old friends where we used to live, then we are going to see Leah and then Grandma. We will be away from dad for four or five days We went to see my grandma in London. She is very old and she forgets everything.

Survival skills is good, we made a shelter and this week made fires and cooked toast and made pine needle tea. I didnt like it but some of the others said it was nice. Apparantly it has got more vitamin C in it than oranges. I am going on a camp with guides in May. There will be lots to do there lbut what I really want to do is the human table football, sounds like loads of fun. Next week we are doing a thing called Team Challenge. It is for four days and you do things like wall climbing, laser questing, making things and alsorts of things. Most of my friends at the home education place are doing it but there will be loads of others as well.

I made a bird table. There are loads of birds here. We have got all the ordinary ones but there are red kites flying all around, there are quite a few green woodpeckers and dad saw a load of paraqueets, apparantly there is loads of them round here.

Sam has got a cricket team and a new rugby team. They want me to play for the girls cricket team but last week I couldnt be bothered.

Thursday 15th March 2007.

We set off and stayed the night in the middle of Spain somewhere on a petrol station. Then we drove to Naverette in Logrono La Rioja. We have been there before and like it. We stayed six days. We went into Logrono and watched the storks making nests on the church roof. Dad bought loads of wine.


We got to the port about midday Wednesday. The lady said the ferry was delayed til 6.30pm. Then they said about 10, then they said tomorrow. They gave us free food and drinks. Some people had to go and sleep in a sports centre. The motorhome was really getting bashed as there was a HURRICANE outside. The paper in the morning said the wind got up to 150 km an hour. In the morning we were told that the ferry was arriving at 1030 am. Loads of camera crews arrived , even the TVE national news was there. I tried to get in all their pics.. They said it was the first time the boat had not been able to get into the port cos of a hurricane. I was glad I wasnt on it but was a bit scared of getting on it. We met one of the sailors in a shop and he told us the journey will be bad but not SO bad. We got on the boat at 3pm ( dad got searched by the police ) and we left at 9 pm which was 29 hrs late. I WAS SO BORED. It wasnt too rough. I went swimming in the pool but it wasnt very nice, then I spent hours looking for dolphins as nearly everyone except me had seen loads. I did not see any
On Friday night the Captain said ( no he did not say it will never never do ) someone was ill and we had to go near the French coast and stop for a helicopter to collect the sick person  . It took ages, the helicopter kept coming in close and going away again.

We got to Portsmouth on Saturday morning 23 hours late. I bet the Captain was happy.

We got to our new site. It is really nice. We have found a home education centre near here where you can go and do lessons or just hang out. It is really cool. Today I had lessons in debating, drama and life skills. I am also doing art and creative writing. Me and Sam have also started an ONC in survival skills which is all about surviving in the woods, making shelters, what you can eat, filtering water and camping out. If we pass it it is like getting a GCSE.  There are some nice girls there my age and Sam has got loads of stupid mates there. Yesterday I cooked apple and grape pies. They were horrible but I had fun doing it.

Tomorrow I am going to guides. They have said they are not like normal guides, they dont do much inside but are always out camping, cooking and alsorts outside. They are going to Ireland this summer. I hope I can go.

Monday 26 Feb.  We were all packed up to go on Sunday but it was so nice we decided to stay. Sam was glad so he could go to cricket and say goodbye and me and Sophie went to Brownies today and said goodbye.Sophie is leaving too. Her campsite is closing and they are moving to Fortuna near Murcia. I went to the Chinese with them yesterday but I could not eat much cos my tooth was so wobbly. It came out today. HURRRRRAY. We are going back to England. I am looking forward to seeing lots of people but sad cos I am always saying goodbye. Everyone is leaving cos the campsites are closing . Sam got given a La Vila rugby shirt. They want him to fly to Vallolidad in May to play in a tournament with teams from all over Spain I said goodbye to Hazel my modern ballet teacher. She has got a new brown labrador puppy and called it DAISY  On Saturday I went to Hip Hop and said goodbye to all my friends there. People keep asking me if I am looking forward to going back to England. I dont know really.

Monday 12th. We are sort of packing up cos we are leaving here soon. WE WONT BE COMING BACK . The campsite will be closed before the summer. I am sorry cos I like it here Ive got friends and lots to do. They are going to build hotels.
