Leeds

In the Easter holidays I went to Leeds for a week, we stayed in a nice house. Then we went to BrewDog for tea and had Red’s barbecued food. I love Red’s.

On the first day we went to Roundhay Park.

There is a Tropical World, where you can see animals from all over the world. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! They also have a fun maze.

Then we went and had tea in an Indian restaurant called Bundobust and I had a nice drink I’d never heard of before called Chai.

My favourite bit of food was the okra fries, they look a bit like green chillies and were really delicious.

Then we went shopping, I got some clothes and Lego.

On the second day I played Monopoly for most of the day then I went to Nando’s with my Grandad, Mummy, Daddy and Georgia. Afterwards, I went to the cinema to watch the hilarious film of Beauty and the Beast.

 

The next day I was super happy because we went bowling and I won with 92 points! (I did have the bumpers up.) 🙂 😉

Then we went to the arcade and I got lots of prizes, played a game of air hockey, played Mario Kart together and spent ages on the two pence machines and me and Daddy won a red shoe.

I really enjoyed my time in Leeds and would love to go again.

My Crackery Christmas Day 2016

When I woke up in the morning I felt a tinge of excitement! It was Christmas Day and I had a stocking full of presents, with an extra one next to it. I opened the big one first and it was a Star Wars bin, my other presents were: a Star Wars light-up light saber, pirate badges, rubbers, a game where you have to put facial hair on a man using a magnetic stylus and loads of other cool stuff.

For breakfast we had a special christmas porridge, it was delicious!

Then, I got my presents off mummy and daddy, my favourite things were: a potato clock, books, a 3 in 1 set of Lego, a card game called Boggle Slam, where you have to change a word one letter at a time until you run out of cards.

After that, we had our traditional Christmas dinner (smoked salmon and watercress salad, which had orange in)

Afterwards, we went to grandma’s house for tea. My Auntie Lisa, Uncle Ryan and cousin Scarlett were already there. I got some more really good stuff like a Star Wars movie projector and star wars battle ships. I’m really bad at it.

Finally, we had Christmas tea, which was roast turkey, pigs in blankets, roast potatoes, carrots, sprouts, parsnips and stuffing. I really liked it!😋

My Weekend!

First of all I went to the beach in  lytham st. Annes near Blackpool.

We went on the beach and played frisbee and I buried the frisbee two times, covered it up in the sand and dug down to find it.

Afterwards we had fish and chips for tea.

Then we went to my Grandma’s house for a sleepover. In the morning we had weetabix (fruit and nut) minis for breakfast and played my new MINION Top Trumps. Then for dinner we had one bacon sandwich and one sausage sandwich, but at 2:50 we had to go to my other Grandad’s house.

My parents were going to be back for half seven, but there had been a aciddent on the train track, so the trains stopped working and then we had to have a sleepover at my Grandad’s house.  The next day me and my sister played mario karts on the wii until we had to go home.

When we got home I had a pressent from Brandon, Uncle Bob and Auntie Laruen. It was a  bright, yellow remote control porsche car.
