Travelog post for: GiGi Giraffe

Hi mum,

Today we spent some time outside looking at the signs of Spring. First there were some tiny buds on an acer tree, they will soon become amazing colourful leaves. Then we saw a flurry of snow! No wait... it was the white blossom from the plum tree! It is pretty to watch it float down in the wind. I went to look at it closer and saw it is individual flowers on there. Next I went to look at some huge pinecones on a spiky tree. Hostmum says they are mini pinecones but to me they're not!

There weren't many Spring things in hostmums garden so she took us to her friends garden. Her friend does lots of gardening and had lots of flowers. There were daffodils and violets which were very nice. Then I saw a patch of snowdrops, they are very small and delicate looking. Right near them, there were some nice pansies in a tub. As we were heading in, we spotted a pink flower in a wall box. Hostmum cannot remember its name though!

Inside I made some new friends. Chimp (the chimp), George (small meerkat) and Mike (big meerkat). I told them about my adventures and they got a little jealous! Soon we had to leave but maybe we'll come back and see them again.

Bye for now,
Gigi
