Travelog for: Chan

Hello! My name is Chan and this is my very first update.

Here I am keeping on eye on things:



My owner, Louise, took some photos of me in the garden this afternoon, playing in some plants:





Here I am with my firend, Yuki. She's a bit grumpy as she doesn't really like the hot weather we've had here lately:



I'm looking forward to being sent to my first host!

This morning was very exciting because it brought the arrival of Tobbi, our very first Voyager.

He is originally from Germany and I can't wait to start our adventures together!

Here we are with a lollipop that Tobbi's previous host, Snamoen put inside my envolope with me. efilbean enjoyed it very much

On the first Monday of every month, efilbean and her friends host and participate in a quiz held at a coffee shop in town.

Here I am, with Tobbi checking over some of the questions that efilbean and her husband had written.



We're going on a train tomorrow and a friend's birthday barbecue on Saturday. Our fingers are crossed for some sunny weather. All we've had is rain here for the last few days.

We went on a train today!
It wasn't a very long journey, perhaps 30 minutes, but we had lots of fun.

Here, Tobbi and I are looking out of the train window. The blue and silver domes you can see in the distance are part of the Galpharm Stadium. Huddersfield has two sports teams. The football team are called Huddersfield Town FC and the rugby team are called Huddersfield Giants. Both teams play their home games at Galpharm Stadium. It's also very close to where efilbean works


We spent a lot of time looking out of the window at the pretty scenery and enjoyed looking at all the different towns we stopped at on the journey.

As we got closer to our destination, the city of Leeds, we took a break and had a little snack:

Hello!

Today Tobbi and I visited the cenotaph in Pudsey. It commemorates the men and women of Pudsey who lost their lives in WW1 and WW2.
It was built on the site of an old church; the All Saints Chapel of Ease, which was taken down in 1879. The steps on the south side reach out to where the cemetary once stood. Bones recovered in the excavations were collected and placed in a sealed vault beneath the memorial.



This is only a short update but efilbean says that we're going to be making something special tomorrow. I wonder what it will be!

Today, Tobbi and I helped efilbean make some fairy cakes.

We had lots of fun!

I have exciting news! Efilbean has found someone to host me!
Tomorrow, I will be making my very first trip and it's a long one - 7505 miles (12,078 km) to be precise. My new host, Dee, lives in Indonesia.

As a surprise, efilbean baked some cakes and Tobbi and I had a little 'bon voyage' party.



Here we are sharing one of the cakes. I had mine with a cup of tea and Tobbi had some lime cordial.


Because both Dee and efilbean like postcards, I thought I'd write one to take with me. It's one of the ones that efilbean bought on our recent trip to Leeds.




I'm going to miss Tobbi very much and am a little sad that we have to cut short our time together but we are both excited about my trip and I know he'll be happy with efilbean until his stay here comes to an end.

We shared a big hug and he helped me on with my ID tag before tucking me into my envelope.






The next time you'll hear from me I'll have arrived in my foster home!
Wish me luck!
