Travelog for: Annie

Hello there I'm Annie, I'm a doll from Fife, Scotland.
I'm small and cute. 
Sorry I've not got a picture yet, my Mum is working on that!
Please host me! (:
I'm excited to start my travels!

My Mum is also eager to host your ToyVoyagers!

Annie, xxx

Yay, I have a photo now!  (: I have my ID number and I am ready to start on my voyage!  All I need now is a nice person willing to host me & I'm sorted.
Today was a good day, I spent most of the day at my Mum's friend, Iona's house.  It was raining outside so we didn't really venture out! 
I also met another ToyVoyager, which was very exciting!  I met Cutie, who is staying with My Mum's best friend, Eilidh.  My Mum says that I will maybe see Cutie again sometime when her and Eilidh next meet up.  Here is a photo of My Mum, Cutie and I in Iona's bedroom.

Iona's house overlooks Lundin Links Golf Course which is quite well known and many competitions take place there, I prefered to watch from the window rather than go out and play golf...

Hopefully I will be going abroad very soon, as the weather here in Scotland is horrid!

I have had a very exciting day today!  I visited Deep Sea World with My Mummy, her Sisters and some friends.  We saw lots of fish and even some sharks!  Ahh, they were scary!

I made friends with a six year old girl, called Jessie today.  She was very nice indeed and carried me around for a lot of the day.  Jessie is Nicola's Uncle David's daughter.  I grew quite attached to her.  (:
After visiting Deep Sea World, all nine of us went for a walk on The Forth Road Bridge, whick is very long and connects Fife with Edinburgh.  The bridge was very busy with cars but had amazing views.  Here is a photo of My Mum, Me and My new found friend, Jessie...

Jessie is moving to France soon and wants me to go and stay with her for a while but, My Mum says that we will wait until Jessie is a bit older.
We didn't stay on the bridge for long as it was quite windy and the bridge was shaking, we all got a little scared!

The above photo shows; Les, Rachel, Me, Jennifer, Jessie, Ailsa, Nicola and Fiona. 
At Night I went to my first big Race with my Mum, it was very exciting!  My Mum tells me that this week is 'The Tour of Fife,' where each runner competes in five races over 5 nights.  Here is my Mum looking a bit worse-for-wear after the Race.


We then went to a BBQ/drinks in the garden thing with Bob, Shona, Nicola, Rachel, Gail, Pamela, Neil, My Mum, Fiona, Ailsa, David, Les& Jessie, we had a good time! (:

Today was a very exciting day for me!  My Mum's friend, Ellen bought a present for My Mum & guess what it was?!

, that's right a massive version of me!  Haha!  My Mum, Ellen & I were very excited!  Ellen also got a big version for herself of my twin; Hallie, who lives with Ellen.  I was very excited to meet my new big friend.  (:
Love,

Today I met Emil, a ToyVoyager my Mum will be hoasting for the next month or so, it was an exciting day for me, I've never met another TV!  Here's Emil & I together at the beach in Lundin Links, near my home.

And her I am playing in the sand!

We had a lovely time at the beach but, as usual the Scottish weather put a premature end to our trip to the beach as it started to POUR with rain.

This evening My Mum took Emil & I to her friend, Eilidh's house for a sleepover to celebrate the Girl's Exam Results. 
Eilidh also hosts ToyVoyagers and I was able to meet two of them, Chance and Rocky.  It was a bit of a ToyVoyagers Party!

We had a nice night at Eilidh's, I hope to meet up with Chance and Rocky again soon.

This evening I went out for Dinner in the famous town of St Andrews with My Mum, her family and Emil ofcourse!  Here's me checking out the menu,

St Andrews is very famous in the world of Golf.  It boasts on of the best courses in the world, The Old Course.  Where the Open has been played in the past.  Many tourists come to St Andrews to play golf.  Here's Emil and I on the grass by the 18th hole on 'The Old Course'.

Mum also showed me 'West Sands Beach' which is where the opening scene for the film 'Charriots of Fire' was filmed, how exiting!

The Sunset was very pretty so, My Mum took a photo of Emil and I infront of a picturesque sunset.

We also had a walk past some of the St Andrews University buildings, here I am outside on of the Music Departments.

St Andrews was a lovely place, maybe I'll go back oneday!

Today was very exciting!  Actually, today was VERY exciting, I had so much fun!
Mum told me she was taking me out for lunch today to the Hotel where she works with some of her colleagues/friends.  Little did I know that I was about to be reunited with my long lost twin, Hallie!  (:
Ellen; My Mum's friend, has always looked after Hallie and we haven't been together for yeeeeeears.  But today that was about to change.  My Mum wanted Hallie and I to meet up before I began my voyage.  The 'Big' Annie & Hallie came along too!  So her it is, all four of us together,

Hallie and I had a lot of catchiing up to do, we were both very excited to be meeting up.  Hopefully Hallie will get her ToyVoyagers ID soon, so that she can travel too.  We'll maybe even go somewhere together, how exciting would that be?!
We didn't forget about Emil though, he was there too and I introduced him to Hallie.
Here's Emil and I together in the Resturant.

Whooow, what an exciting day!
That's all for now,
Annie xxx

This afternoon, along with Mum's friends & colleagues, Anna and Ellen.  I baked a cake!  (:
We were baking for a lady at My Mum's work as it was her birthday.  The cake's message was a joke between the staff at the hotel but I didn't really understand how it was funny! 
Nevertheless, here I am with the finished product!...

I was quite proud of it & so were the girls!
Love, Annie xxx

Hurrah,

I've arrived safely with Steve & Helly. As the weather's nice I've had lots of photos taken already and I only arrived an hour ago!!

Helly will update later, but it's just to let me Mum know I'm safe.

Here I am, just climbing out of my envelope.

Oh look, teddy bear passports . . . are any for me?

Nope, they are for Pierre, Elephonse and Boris (who's waiting for his Toy Voyager ID)

Hi again,

This is Murph. He's fifteen and very gentle. I did try to introduce myself to George, Steve & Helly's other cat, but he tried to play with me so Helly decided I'd better sneak up on him when he's asleep.

I thought I'd better say 'Hello' to some of Helly's home made Honeysuckle Bears. She makes them all herself. These ones take about sixteen hours to make, from the first cut to the final hug - a very important part of making a bear. Helly says it's the final hug that gives bears their soul and life.

This is Boris. He's going to be a Toy Voyager and live in Helly's new car, her Morris Traveller.

Boris who lives in the Morris!

Boris was found on ebay in a very sorry state. He only cost £1.70. Helly did some repairs and gave him new life. While she was doing this she found out he was probably born in 1930 or 1940.

You'll be able to read all about him once his Toy Voyager ID arrives.

Here I am in Helly's office. I came with Helly to her work in Wroughton. Helly works for a charity, the White Horse Care Trust - www.whct.co.uk - which has residential homes for people who have learning difficulties. Helly is the training manager for the trust and organises all the staff training - all 250 people!

I decided to help her with answering the phone - she gets lots of sales people ringing up trying to sell training! So I put them off.

I also met Knit Wit, the pink pig, who lives in Helly's office and a bunny who's actually supposed to be a dog but Helly bought him thinking he was a rabbit.
