Hi Mum,

it is time to leave Germany now. I said good-bye to Dicker Kumpel. We had such a great time together.



The others gave me a big hug.



Now I am on my way to Russia!

Love

Hello world! After spending over a year in Russia (I spent too mcuht ime actually doing things to blog about them) my host has kindly sent me back home to Germany. Thank you for taking such good care of me, forelka!

Hi Mum!

I've arrived at my new Hostmum's house safely.

I could hear a lot of noise as my envelope was being opened.  I thought there must have been a party going on or something, there were so many different voices...


Then when I saw how many TVs there were, oh my goodness!


I didn't need to worry though - they were all very friendly and made me feel right at home.


Hippy is Hostmum's TV whereas Tobbi, Sheela, Flummi and Paula Hip are, like me, TVs that are currently staying with Hostmum.  Pinky Bear, Imperio and Edelweiss are staying with Gizalba, who is a friend of Hostmum's.  Unfortunately they didn't stay very long as they had to go back home.

I showed everyone the sweets that I brought with me - they liked them very much!


You don't have to worry about me Mum, everyone is really friendly - I think I'm going to have fun here.


Bye!

Hi Mum,

The weather has been so hot here, so we've all been taking advantage of that and spending as much time outside as possible.


There's nothing better than sitting on a comfy chair outside and chatting with all my newly-made friends.


Soon it got very hot though - so I needed a cold drink to cool me down.  It did the trick!


Then, while the others did their own thing, I explored the garden a bit more.  Look who I came across!


He was a very friendly toad, but soon he had to hop off back to his house.

As you can see Mum, it's been a calm few days, with all of us enjoying the warm sunshine.  Lovely!

Bye,
Huhn

Hi Mum,

Today we went for a short drive to visit one of the landmark's of the North East of England.


Here I am in front of the Angel Of The North, isn't it big?  It's 20m (66ft) tall and the wings are 54m (177ft) long.


Then I had an ice cream, which was very nice.


When we got back to hostmum's house, we decided it would be nice to make a fruit smoothie.


It was my job to pass the strawberries to Paula Hip.


And tada!  Doesn't it look delicious?


We each took a glass outside, so we could enjoy it whilst sitting out in the sun.  It was lovely.


Hostmum also offered us some olives - some liked them, but as you can see from this picture, I didn't like them very much.  I think I'll stick to the fruit smoothie!


Bye,
Huhn

Hi Mum.

Today we all said goodbye to Tobbi and Hippy. 


I hugged Tobbi and wished him a safe trip.


Then I hugged Hippy - he was a bit nervous, as it's his first ever voyage.  But I wished him luck.


Then almost as soon as they'd left, two more packages arrived.  I wonder who it could be?


We opened the first envelope, and out popped Lizzy Lizard!


Then we all opened the second envelope and out popped _Mishuta_!

Here we all are - Flummi, me, Sheela, Mishuta, Paula Hip and Lizzy.


We all wanted to show Mishuta and Lizzy the area, so we decided to go for a short walk to Brunton Turret, which is another part of Hadrian's wall.


Here we all are by the turret.


Can you see me?


Here I am!


On the way back, some sheep came over to say hello.


And here's another picture of me with the English countryside behind me.  This is the view from hostmum's house.


So, I said goodbye to two friends and met two new friends, as well as explored the are a bit more.

Bye!

Hi Mum!

Today we went to Durham, as that is where hostmum goes to university.  We went to visit one of hostmum's friends that goes there as well.  We spent the day at her college.  Who was the friend?  Gizalba!  It was so nice seeing Edelweiss again, and meeting Tapsi for the first time.

Here we all are by the pond in the college grounds.  Hmm... it looks like it could do with a clean!


And look Mum - there was a rainbow, isn't it pretty?


Then we saw this war memorial - it's dedicated to those that lost their lives in WWI.




Here we all are with Durham Cathedral in the background.


After that we got a bit cold so went inside.  We played a game of Monopoly on the machine in the bar.


And to finish off the day, we all had a cocktail.  Don't worry Mum, I was very sensible and didn't have too much!


Bye!

Hi Mum,

We went to an Alice in Wonderland themed party, it was SO much fun!!  We started the day by watching the Disney movie.  I had never seen it before - it was very funny - though the Cheshire Cat scared me a bit.


Then, I felt like I had drank the magic potion that makes you shrink, because we went outside and everything was so big!!  Look, here I am with a toadstool... I feel so small!


Then I played bowling - and my team won, yay!


We then moved on and started playing checkers.  I felt like a character from Harry Potter, but instead of riding on chess pieces, I rode on a checker.


And my team won again, yay!


To finish the day, we played giant four in a row.  My team was green - we didn't win this time.


It was a really magical day, and I really did feel like I was in Wonderland!


Bye,
Huhn

Hi Mum!

Today, another package arrived.  I wonder who could be inside it...


Not one, but two TVs!  HelgaHH and Niiskuneiti!


We all made them feel very welcome.


We decided it would be fun to play a game - Disney Trivial Pursuit.


We all had to choose a colour - I ended up with pink.


As the game was played, it was obvious who was in the lead, and unfortunately it wasn't me!


It was fun asking questions though.  And to make it harder, whenever someone landed on a 'cheese question', we used the cards from the normal Trivial Pursuit.  My favourite question was 'Which US State has a 'z' in its name?'


Do you know the answer?  It's Arizona!

Paula Hip won the game - well done her!  She's very smart.  It was a fun game!


Bye,
Huhn
