We have moved back to our old village where there is a campsite..

I said good bye to all my friends around Oxford. It was really sad


My last trip with guides was to stay at Pax Lodge which is one


of the 4 World Guide centres in London. We had a great time but

it was awful saying ood bye.  This is Pax Lodge.



I have found a new Ranger Guide group up here. They are a bit older than me and seem really nice.
I am going to their Christmas party next week.

Me and Sam went to a new Life Saving class but we didnt like it at all. We are not going again. We might
try a Life Saving Club in Leeds instead.

I have gone back to a Dance Studio that I used to go to. It was really good fun and I am going to go
every week

I went to school last week to see if I wanted to go. I dont know. They said I could go straight into year
10 instead of year 9 because of my exams. I dont want to do that and to get into year 9 I have to appeal
because they are full. I cant make my mind up.




We have been trying to buy a house and we might have got one . If we have it will be SOOOOOOOO
strange. We have lived in a motorhome for so long it will be weird. If we get this house I want my bedroom
to be really cool. I have NEVER had enough room to put all my clothes away.and I wont have to go out
in the freezing cold to go to the toilet block for a shower.

Its been good seeing my old friends from up here. I have been messing around with Emmeline. Where we
were before it was diffficult to get to see my friends in Oxford because it meant mum driving me there but
here I can walk or get the bus.

It is ages since I did my diary because our internet has been rubbish.

I have bought myself an iPod touch. It is brilliant.

Since I did my diary last we have been to London to protest about

the changes to home education. It was quite good and we went in

the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It was interesting

but also boring. It was so hot in there . I would never be able to stay

awake.









I have had some pics of me done.





Last week we went to Windsor to watch a State visit parade. It was actually quite

interesting watching all the horses and soldiers.    We even saw the queen




A few weeks ago I did a sponsored 14.6 mile walk with Guides. It wasnt

as bad as I thought. I think it was because we talked all the way round.

Thanks to everyone who sponsored me.

I have done one of my IGCSE Business Studies exams and it was really

hard. Ive got one more and Two Physics exams


We are moving tomorrow and then again in two weeks back to Yorkshire.

I am sad about leaving my friends here but looking forward to being near

my friends up there.

I think I am going to Glastonbury next year

A couple of  weeks ago I went with  my friends
 ringo riding. It was EXCELLENT





We protested in Oxford. We are going to try to see our MP
on 12 October. They want to tell home educators what to
teach and even be able to take home educated children away
from their parents to interview them.

I went to Oxford with my friend Scarlett today to buy a dress
for her birthday party which is a " prom " so we all have to
really get dressed up. I got a cool green dress and some
high heels . Normally I wear crocs so I have to practise.

I have been busy learning Physics and Business studies. I
really really want to get another A star

This is us after ringoing

Thursday 27 August 2009.

Well I got B for Art GCSE and D for Drama. I was
disappointed with my drama mark but out of 18 of
 us one got a B, two got C,13 got D and two got E
( Sam was an E ) so it was a bit odd that we did so
 badly cos we all tried really hard. But I am so
  happy to pass Art . It was so hard and I had to do
 so much work for it.

Switzerland with the guides was brilliant
http://www.daisydraper.co.uk/mysummertrip2009.htm

After that I went and stayed at Hayleys and played with Leah and
 Alex Hayley took meto the Trafford Centre and treated me to
 some  new clothes.
 I enjoyed being up there with them.
Then I went to a Youth Hostel Activity Week in the Lake District.
 I went with Emmeline and I am glad as the rest of them were a
bunch of losers. I have absolutely no idea why they went there.
Anyway we really enjoyed canoeing, gill jumping, swimming, raft
 building and an overnight expedition . It rained so hard on our
expedition it was unbelievabe. We could not stay in our tents that
 we had carried for hoursand had to stay in a hut thing.
Everyone was moaning ( even me a bit ! )
Two boys got sent home from the week forcalling out the Fire
Brigade. they were IDIOTS

I stayed at Emmelines a few days then they all came down to us
 camping for a couple of days

Now I am going to my friends for the weekend at we are going
 Punting in Oxford

This is me and some of the girls in Switzerland

Monday 10 August 2009

I was so nervous but I am just so pleased with
myself. I was 12 when I took the exams and
everyone says I have done really well.
International GCSEs are done in most of the
top schools because they are supposed to be
harder.

Sam got Biology...B

I had an absolutely ace time in Switzerland.
I didnt want to come home. We did all sorts
of things. I will do a page about it.

I have been to my friend Maria for a few days
and I am going to stay with Leah for a few days
and then I am going to an adventure camp in
the Lake District for a week with Emmeline

Sam has just come home from one and he said
it was really good.

Sat. 18 July 2009

I went to HESFES on Saturday and stayed til
Thursday night. It was so much fun messing about
It was really HOT and SUNNY. We messed in the
river and our friends great big boat. We jumped off
a really high bridge . I didn't really jump I sort of fell
but Sam wouldnt do it. One of our group who is 11
did a random jump and landed really badly and hurt
himself. I think he was badly winded. He was going
under the water which was deep and was struggling
to stay up. Sam swam out and did what we had been
doing at Life Saving and towed him to the side.

I did dry felting, caligraphy and made a dry grass
basket. There was loads to do but it was so HOT
sometimes nobody could be bothered. One day
we played UNO for about 8 hours. I got up once to
go with dad to a church that was near. I thought it
would be boring but all the windows were done by
Marc Chargall and they were really COOL

I took loads of pics but they didnt come out well


There were lots of shows to go to. On the first night
somebody stole bottles of Jack Daniels and somebody
burnt out a toilet. But after that there wasnt any more
trouble. I definitely want to go next year.

I am going to Switzerland with Guides on Saturday.
We are doing trekking up into the snow and I have
had to buy loads of new stuff for it. I got my Swiss
Francs yesterday. I have never seen them before.

This pic is a hair spray powered potato canon we
played with. It was BRILLIANT !!

 25 June 2009

Yesterday was my 13 th birthday. Jazmin and Lizzie came and stayed for two nights.

I went to Chessington with my friends. I think there were 12 of us, It was good.

Before that last weekend I went on our summer Guide Camp which was great fun .

Before that we had a sleep out near Oxford to celebrate finishing exams. It was

a really really good fun night. Nobody went to bed and we messed about all night.




This was some of us in the morning. It was a waste of time putting the tents up.



Before that I did my exams. I did GCSE Drama and Art and IGCSE Biology and

IGCSE Chemistry. It was a lot of hard work. I took them like 3 years early. In

November I am going to do Spanish and Physics.




This is some of us at Chessington World of Adventures



In a couple of weeks we are going to Hesfes . We have never been before. We are going

in the tent for a week. It is a festival for home education with loads of workshops to do.

Tuesday 26 May

I have been so busy but I will not say doing what but I
havent done my diary for ages. I really havent done
anything interesting.

I did the cricket thing at Lords that I put on my front page

Sam went with Dad to play rugby in the Spanish national
championships. They were lucky at Madrid airport cos
the plane was a metre from landing and it took off again
cos there was a plane still on the runway .

We made an offer to buy a house in our old village but
they said it was not enough and we cant afford any more
so now we dont know what to
do when we leave here. Mum wants to go back to Spain but
me Sam and dad dont know.

This is what dad brought me back . Pipas ( sunflower seeds )

Sunday 15 March 2009

I won my first trampolining competion. I was so nervous I was
shaking like a leaf when I got there.

There were about 250 people there ! I am really REALLY happy .



Last weekend I went on my winter camp with guides and this
year it was quite nice weather. We walked to the pub for hot
dog and chips and we had a great laugh cos its like only the
people who really want to go who go to winter camp. I took
this pic. It was a like a Prison Camp !!!




I went for a sleepover at Elodies and we did loads of Chemistry
revision. I went with her for an extra art lesson which was good.
We have been given a theme of " Broken " to produce a piece
of work. I am finding it hard to get an original idea for it..........
PLEASE HELP ME

Monday 2 March 2009

I have been busy. I went to Alex's Christening in Manchester

and then went back there the next week to see everyone

and stayed over at Emmelines. I have been ice skating and

had a sleep over at my friends called Elodie. She is in the

Great Britain junior windsurfing squad !  I couldnt really do

windsurfing when we in France a couple of years ago.

Last week we went on a guided tour of the Bodelian library

in Oxford. It sounded really boring but actually it really

interesting.

We spent a week on a campsite near Oxford but now we are

back where we were last year. This weekend I have got my

guides winter camp. The weather forecast is cold

I have done the first part of my bronze medallion in Life

Saving and passed

  Friday 6 Feb.

 It has been snowing. We have been sledging and had snowball fights and made

 a snowman that turned out to be a snow bear. Anyway I have had to do loads

 of schoolwork. I dont think I have ever done as much

We are moving from here soon. We had a walk round Henley the other day, It

is actually quite famous for the Henley Regatta. This pic is of the LEANDER CLUB

and is supposed to be the best rowing club in the world

   Wednesday 28 Jan 2008

  I have lost my suntan. I am back doing schoolwork and

 being bored.I havent done much. I am doing the first bit

 of my bronze life saving award on Saturday. I have done

 loads of art. This is a bit I did about thinking

 

 SUNDAY 4th JAN 2009

  Happy New Year.


I have been to Goa in India. It was really good and very hot, about 35 degrres every day.

We did loads of things and I am going to do a page about it with lots of pics. Some of the

pics didnt come out very well. I dont know why. India was different to what I am used to

seeing really really poor people living next to much richer ones, but everyone was really

friendly, well at least the I ndian people were, the English on holiday out there were horrible.

What suprised me most was watching the WOMEN doing all the hard work like all the

carrying and hard work on the building sites and on the roads .They carried everthing like

heavy bricks and cement on their heads all day from 9 am til 6pm and all for 100 rupees a day

which is about £1. 40. Anyway liike I said I am going to do a page on the holiday.




When we got back we went to see everyone and get my presents. ( I only had one to open

on Christmas Day and that was from Guides ) Well we found out that Johns wife Rachel had

been quite badly run over and Great Grandma fell and had been in hospital over Christmas.

Leah had enjoyed Christmas and got loads and Alex just slept, ate and gurgled.

I got some nice presents . We went to stay at Emmelines in our old village and had New Years

Eve party there when I saw some of my old friends . I like it there. Tomorrow is back to doing

schoolwork

BUT
WHAT
I
REALLY


 REALLY REALLY REALLY

ENJOYED

WAS

SHOPPING dad reckons the Indians enjoyed me shopping as well
