I could barely sleep last night as I knew I would traveling today. I'm so excited to be traveling to Germany! I'm hoping to have a lot of fun on my journey. I said goodbye to all of my friends here. Everyone wished me luck and said to have a safe trip. I promised that I would write and let them know how I was doing. Bye for now!

Bonjour!
Joyeuses pâques ! (happy easter)
It was my first time in the french countryside. I travelled by train this week-end. We were all welcomed at Fleur's parents' by a good tea with big cookies.
Look at all the chocolates we got at Easter morning. I played with a sweet cat called Austerlitz and with a dog called Crumble.
Then it was time to jump into the car of Fleur's father. Very comfortable inside.

Today i played with big stay at home toys : a singing dog and a bird from Ireland. I also met again Austerlitz the cat and a cute dog called Alhea. I love life in the countryside !

Bonjour!
This week-end, there was a new tv who joined us : another monkey from the Netherlands called Youp. But we were sad when we had to say bye to our friends : Malcom , Supergrover  (they go to Scotland) and Tony (who is going to the netherlands). I haven't seen the market : Fleur has a bad cold. I watched a final cup of soccer, interesting, even if Fleur's favorite team (Lens) has lost. On sunday, we had a good tea and an apple pastry "chausson aux pommes". This monday, we welcomed a new tv from Finland : Muuimipeikko. She travelled to the USA and gave us some chocolate.

Bonjour !
I had an hectic week ! I went to the library - a former abbey built in the XVIII th century - on wednesday. On thursday, Fleur came back from her office with 2 new friends who can't be stay at work toys anymore. They are a shaking snake and a crazy cow ! On Friday we welcomed a new tv : Stasiek the pinguin from Poland. Yesterday, by the rain, i went to the market. Fleur got for us some pastries and made a good tea. Today we had a french breakfast : baguette or a crescent with hot chocolate. Very yummy! I also enjoyed the fair at the main square of Arras (sorry no pic), you can see the belfry and the weather is still bad ... Maybe the alien will travel to Taiwan so we say bye. Tomorrow, we're going to the countryside : Fleur is on holidays for 2 weeks.

Hello!
This week a new TV arrived!! It was Rex who poped out of the envelope!
After a short talk with him, we decided to discover Poeldijk.
We found 3 statues
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/kids.jpg
These are 2 children, playing. It was put over there when an old school had to come down, because they where going to build houses over there.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/verburch.jpg
This is pastor Verbuch, the oldest pastor of Poeldijk, there is also a school and a street named after him.

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/vrouwkind.jpg
And this one, a statue of a mother and a baby, build when the most important street of Poeldijk was improved in 1991.

When Lejow didn't look we sneaked into the playgrouund

Hello again!
What a sunny weekend we have!
We stayed at Lejow's boyfriend and went in to the city of Rotterdam for some sightseeing and shopping.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/rdam.jpg

We saw the cube houses! Here is some info:
Kubuswoningen, or cube houses, are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in The Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom in 1984. The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, and beside the Blaak Subway Station. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.

As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.

The houses contain three floors:
ground floor entrance
first floor with living room and open kitchen
second floor with two bedrooms and bathroom
top floor which is sometimes used as a small garden

The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/kubus1.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/kubus2.jpg

Next to the cubes houses you will see another designed building by the Dutch architect Piet Blom (1934-1999). It is called the Blaaktower and has the shape of a pencil, that is why it is popular called 'The Pencil', Het Potlood
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/potlood1.jpg

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/sweetangelleonie/potlood2.jpg

Then my biggest wish came true..
I met Diddle.. And not only him, I met also Diddlina and myself!!
