Moving On

Brrrrrr

 The weather has been really cold here the last few days.  My lovely aunties arrived from France and took the sunshine away with them to Seville.  Mama wants to hit the road again.  I am sad to be leaving.  I liked it here.  Mama says we need to find a campsite with a heated swimming pool as I love swimming and she is fed up with cycling to the one here which is miles away.
Anyway last week we went to Alfaz del Pi and there was a fiesta going on.  Mama said it might have been a Saint Valentine's celebration.  I got so excited with the marching children that I ran right along and joined in.  Mama said she had never seen so many Kinder Egg and Nutella costumes.  And me of course.  I marched to the front.

Me and my carnival

 The other evening, we were coming back from the playground in the dark when the man from the ironmongers ran out.  He said he had been watching for us all day.  He said in his country Valentine's day is about love between friends and that he loves me and he gave me a bag with a present in it.  Mama asked where he was from and he said Columbia and showed us photos of his son who he said looked just like me when he was little.  Mama embarrassed me by starting to cry.  I made her go.
Anyway, in the bag was a hat and a pair of gloves.  I think this is because Mama makes me wear socks on my hands and the man must have felt sorry for me.

Me and my Hat

We are going to be heading South next week.  We are going down the coast through Mazzarron and onto Malaga to see my Aunty Jayne and Aunty Ping.  We might then go to Estapona to see my Aunty Zoe and then try and find somewhere to stay for another 6 weeks so that my Uncle Lollo and Granddad Geoffers can come and visit.  I keep singing my Uncle Lollo is coming soon to my Fire truck song.

A day out in Guadalest

Lurking in Guadalest

 

I was so happy to see Nanny and Ganggang.  And they were happy to see me.  We went to visit a village in the mountains called Guadalest and I liked it there.

  I did a bit of rock climbing and hung about a church quite a bit until Mama said she was bored and made me move.

The Church

The Church.  The Light

Nana found a house with a donkey and a pig and a goat in it.

The goat

And I fell and bumped my knee on the cobbles.  

My sorely knee

 Mama went on a bit about the light and then we drove home.

Bye Bye Grand pappy

Sad to leave Nanarooney

 

So.  Mama said we were going on an aeroplane.  I got very excited because I have never been on one before.  We were going to go to England because my Grand pappy wasn't feeling well.  I was very excited but also very sad because my Nanna and Ganggang had just arrived in Spain and I was leaving them behind.

I was having a very nice time until the plane went into the air and then I wanted it to come down again.  Mama said we had to wait  but I didn't want to wait.  I wanted to come down now.  I wanted to get off.  I cried and cried and shouted a bit too.  Everyone was looking at me but I didn't care.  I wanted to get off.  Mama said there was nothing she could do and I didn't like that.  There is always something Mama can do.  So Mama nursed me and I went to sleep and when I woke up we were in London.

I was very happy to see Grand pappy and I climbed on his bed and kissed his nose and held his hand and he looked very pleased to see me.  I also got to see my Uncle Joe and my Uncle Lollo and I was very happy to be with them.  We all went to the pub together.  

Boozing it up

Climbing the walls

 Uncle Lollo slept in the same room as us and I like to wake up in the morning and climb on his bed.

Lovely Tooting Common Cafe

I spent a lot of time with daddy in the park.

Then Mama told me that Grand pappy had died and I went to see him and it was like he was sleeping.  Mama said I should say goodbye to him and I did.

I got a bit sad because I had to say bye bye to Uncle Lollo and Uncle Joe too.  I am always saying bye bye.  Mama looks sad too.  Sometimes I catch her crying.

 Then she told me that we were going back to see Nanny so I was happy again.  Until she told me we had to on an aeroplane................................
