This is The Island peninsula from the sea - on the top is the tiny chapel of st. Nicholas.

And here I am, aboard my trusty vessel!

Yo HO! me hearties!!

Our very last morning, and only time to have a quick look round one more time, before we packed the car and left.

I do hope I will return to St. Ives one day.

Dear Sem,

I'm sorry it's been a while - my Hosts have been ill, slightly better, then ill again.  It's been an odd couple of months.

I have been safe and well though, and managed to avoid the dreaded lurgy which seems to have affected the humans so badly.

I have been to Ryton Organic Gardens which is not too far away from ToyVoyagerCentral.

It's the largest organic garden in the UK, and an excellent flagship for organic gardening - there are no chemical weedkillers or pesticides used, and there are lots of practical and beautiful demonstration gardens which show you how to grow your own fruits and vegetables.

Lots of the gardens are very well established, and create a great environment for lots of running about and playing hide-and-seek.

I think you'd love it here!

Much Love,
Bumba

Hi, I have arrived in NY safely. I will take a few days to recuperate from my journey and will go exploring this big city. Just wanted to check in and say that I'm ok  I'll write soon

Hello!
I had a wonderful time today. I was going to go out last week, but there was a huge snow storm and we got snowed in. The subway train next to my host's house didn't run for four days. The snow is still on the ground, but it's melting and the roads are very icy. We did have a nice time celebrating Christmas and the New Year at home, I'll show you photos of the Christmas tree I helped decorate later. Oh, there are two other TVs staying here, Luke and Paddington Bear, they are really nice.

We went to the Guggenheim museum today. Cameras aren't allowed inside, but my friends and I got see the show with a tour guide. We went for a walk at Central Park after the tour. This is a view of the museum from the park.



We walked over to the Belvedere Castle next to Turtle Pond. It's one of my host's favorite places and I can see why, the view is amazing. The pond usually has very large turtles living in it, but it is completely frozen right now.









The area behind the castle is modeled to look like a forest. There are hills, narrow paths and stones. The paths were really icy and we had to be extra careful when walking around.



This is the Bethesda Fountain (with the Angel of Waters sculpture on top of it) and Terrace. You can go boat-riding on the lake in the background during spring and summer months.



After the park we walked over to Rockefeller Square to see the Christmas tree. It's Huge  I can't believe that it's a real tree. the star on top is Swarovski crystal.



I think that NY is amazing and I can't wait to see more. Write soon, Bumba

Today Luke and I arrived at BlackCats home. I really hope that we will have a nice time here. At least we are not alone!

Hey,

today is BlackCats birthday and as she is getting guests, we had to make some muffins to make the guests happy. And we helped her as much as possible with it.















Later that day we helped her with opening some of her presents. She got a lot…





It was a nice day. I hope we can celebrate more birthdays.

Hey,

today we went shopping with BlackCat. She got a lot money for her birthday, so she went to a shopping centre with her boyfriend and spend some of the money.

The decoration in the shopping centre was really nice, so we made photos of it with us.

Hope you'll like the photos!









It was a lot of fun. Slowly everyone is getting in Christmas mood.

Love,
Bumba

Hey !

Today we went into the city centre of Essen to see the big coca cola truck there. BlackCat was all excited as it was the first time she saw it. Hope you'll like the photos.


Can you see it? I was all excited about it as well.


It looked so big.

It was so crowded, that we left soon after that.

Love,
Bumba
