Swindon, UK - 15th June 2008
By: Chris & David
There I was, minding my own business, when David suddenly grabbed me and rushed me out of the house and into the car. It would appear that he had just had a phone call to say that if I could get to Swindon today then I could go to Dubai tomorrow!
After a pretty fast 60 mile trip I'm here in Swindon with David's eldest son Richard waiting to be collected. I haven't a clue who I'm going with and I've no idea where Dubai is but hey ho, a Toy Voyager's life is a merry one.

Heathrow, England - 17th June 2008
By: Chris & David
I was collected by Richards step daughter Rikki and her son Callum who's 4 and whisked off to Heathrow to stay overnight before flying to Dubai in the morning. This is Callum's first ever trip on a plane. He's very excited and nervous all at the same time. I think I'll have a little chat with him and tell him all about the travels of a toy voyager.
I'm looking forward to visiting yet another new country and will let you all know about it in the next instalment of Trevor's world wide adventure.

Headingley, Leeds, United Kingdom - 20th July 2008
By: Chris & David
Today was quite a special day. David and Stu took me to watch the test match between England and South Africa (that's cricket for all you unedumakated people!) at the Carnegie Stadium in Leeds - the home of Yorkshire Cricket Club.
We were sat very close to the boundary so we got to see all the players very close up, but none of them would have their picture taken with me!!

Malvern, United Kingdom - 22nd July 2008
By: Anna and Stu
I travelled home with Chris and David today, and how happy was I that I did not have to travel in one of those stuffy brown bags, they are so undignified and claustrophobic!
I got to travel in a car and was able to look out of the window and see where we were going!

Mickleton, United Kingdom - 2nd August 2008
By: Anna and Stu
Well today I have been very excited, it's the day of Jo and Dans wedding and I am invited!!
I have never been to a wedding befor so this is going to be really exciting. It is going to take place at a hotel in Mickleton that is the home of the pudding club so desert should be really good!
I met lots of really nice people at the wedding, and got my picture taken with some of them. Jo looked really good her posh dress and even Dan made the effort for the day and looked very smart! There were lots of bridesmaids as well who all looked really pretty.
I thought Stu and Anna were going to lose me at one point, I was nearly turkeynapped by a little boy who thought it would be nice to take me home, but I made it back safely!!

Malvern, United Kingdom - 5th August 2008
By: Anna and Stu
Well, so much for being able to sit back and relax for a bit, yesterday morning Stu stuffed me back into a big brown envelope again, without even telling me where I was going!
The envelope wasnt very good tho and it ripped and fell apart. There was a very nice postman who taped it up and made I sure I wouldn't fall out and get lost on route tho. I saw the inside of a sorting room for the first time tho, it was all very busy and quite strange and noisy. To think I have been through so many of those places in my many envelopes, and now I know what they look like!
When I eventually arrived at where I was going, I was back with Chris and David in Malvern. Hopefully now I can have a rest and get my breath back befor I go on my next set of adventures!!!

Fort William, Scotland - 9th August 2008
By: Chris & David
It has been a long day! Yesterday we had our usual busy time at home and David went to work in the evening. I wondered what was happening when Christine went to bed before D came home. When he did come home he had a cuppa and then started putting suitcases and things in the car whichmade me think he was going on holiday.
In the middle of the night he woke Christine and we piled into the car and set off. My friend Ozzie (short for Oswald) is coming with us to see whether he likes the idea of beng a Toy voyager.
It was very dark and there was nothing to see so I went to sleep. When I woke up we were stopped at something called a motorway service area - it was just like a big car park. After a while another car arrived and in it was David and Christine's son Alistair with his wife Wendy. They also had someone else in the car - a puppy called Boo. He was locked up in a cage which I thought was the best place for him!
After we'd had a cup of coffee the two cars set off again and carried on driving until it started to get light. We stopped to have a stroll along the shore of a lovely stretch of water called Loch Lomond which is in Scotland. A bit further on we stopped for a bit of breakfast and the headed on through Glasgow and some lovely mountain scenery until we reached Fort William where we are exploring and doing some shopping.

Glenelg, Scotland - 9th August 2008
By: Chris & David
After we'd finished shopping and got enough food for an army, we carried on in the cars through more wonderful mountain scenery. We stopped several times to admire views and to try and take photographs but the weather was a bit dull and grey and the photos weren't too successful.
At long last we pulled up outside a lovely little cottage and started to take all our belongings inside. This was where we were going to stay and it was very nice except for one thing - the puppy wasn't locked in a cage any more and he kept looking at me with an evil eye.
After all those hours in the car we went for a little walk before coming back for supper and then falling into bed after a 40 hour day.
