Hello My name is Mini Marshmallow. This is me:
And this is me with two future ToyVoyagers - Noodle the Dog and Wilfred the Owl.
I live in Hertfordshire with my mum, dad, brother and sister. We live just north of London, where my mum grew up. We have lots of fun together but I'm very excited to be off travelling soon. My mum has always loved travelling and she wants me to experience lots of things in the world too.
I told Mum that the thing I want to do most is eat lots of marshmallows. She wasn't too impressed... So she's helped me come up with 4 other life missions as well, which she thinks will help me grow as a person/marshmallow.
PS I need to figure out how to put photos in the right places in my travelog

When we got back from holiday, we found that Krümelknirps from Germany had arrived! I was so excited to meet him. He's from Nuremberg, which is a place my mum has visited. I'm looking forward to Krümelknirps telling me all about it.
Here we are watching TV together:
I'm sure we'll have lots of fun.

Today we went to my grandad's birthday party. Lots of family were there. It was nice to see them as it's been a while.
It was such a hot day, we just ate cold meats and salad:
Very delicious!
No marshmallows though...

When we went to my grandad's birthday party today, we stopped off at the postbox.
This has been painted gold because a local person won a gold medal at the Olympics. There's another one in Enfield somewhere too.
This is me with my new friend Krümelknirps.
I'm very excited as Mum told me I'm allowed to start my world travels very soon. I have a host mum in Germany waiting for me, so I'm going to be off at the weekend. I can't wait!!

Oops, Mum wasn't very happy with me today. I was just walking up the wall and got stuck...
I had marshmallow on my feet! I should've eaten them more carefully and Mum would never have known I'd found them in the cupboard.
Anyway, Mum says I'm off to Germany on Saturday. I need to start packing...

Hi Mummy,
I arrived at host's home today. Three ToyVoyagers, HolgiHH, MuhKuh, Emma Squirrel and my host Katja gave me a warm welcome.
I took a look out of the kitchen window - there is a small park just opposite of the house!
Now I'm going to explore the apartment.
Bye

Wuppertal, Germany - 10th September 2012

Hi Mummy,
today we visited an arboretum in Wuppertal, the "Staatsforst Burgholz". An arboretum is a collection of trees, sort of a botanical garden containing living collections of woody plants intended at least partly for scientific study. We went to "Staatsforst Burgholz", a woodland area which is situated in both urban area of Wuppertal and also the urban area of Solingen, but only a small part of it.
When World War II was over, there were nearly all trees felled for rebuilding of destroyed city areas and also as firewood.
Searching for fast-growing forest species trees from foreign counties were planted than in this area to study their growth in local weather conditions. Plants from North America, South America, Asia and Europe were planted.
There are several walking paths through the arboretum, of course we chose the longest of them, about 6 km long, displaying a variety of trees from Europe, America and Asia. At the parking lot we found a map of the arboretum area.
We decided to walk along a path showing trees of Northern America.
In the background, along the slope different kinds of conifers were planted.
This is the sign we had to follow.
You can find informations about the foreign trees.
The path was covered with clover.
Yellow flowers ...
Our path is meandering through the forest. Look how good "Chief" Emma Squirrel was looking!
Finally we saw sequoia trees.
This was a very interesting trip.
Bye
