As nominees I like everyone who likes it and reads my blog to be able to take it from me! All my lovely friends deserve it !
At the airport in Stansted waiting for our plane… and here it comes already!
We went to see my mum’s mum in Germany and I could see my friends!
This is in the front garden, I loved this long grass!
I met ‘Brauni’, he is my gran’s teddy and we enjoyed some wonderful cuddle time together!
This is “Petzi” my sister’s very old Steiff Teddybear… he must be about 53 years old…. oh yes I can see some grey hair…. hehe. He is lovely and still dressed in my mum’s old baby clothes. He has got plasters on his paws as the straw was falling out, but his heart is a pure loving teddy heart. We did have a great chat and a lovely time together…..and when mum wasn’t watching……. we got up to bit of mischief.
I climbed all the bushes in the back garden…. lucky I had fur it was quite cold for August.
This is the town and every time my mum visits they have changed the roads or put up new buildings. This tower is one of the old towers and part of the town wall which went all round the town. Opposite is the brand new Town festival hall. A very big building I thought.
At the end I found a picture of my mum being about 21 then… I couldn’t help myself and sneaked it in the post… hope she doesn’t notice!
This is me on our way home again…. quite exhausted….
Another day we went sailing….. to China… to get some tea.
…..not really….
… we visited an English tea clipper the Cutty Sark from 1869.
I think my mum did already mention it in a blog post before but now we went inside this big Sailing ship.
It was amazing!
There were Tea chests, many ropes, and I had so much fun exploring the ship!
We could also walk underneath the ship, as it is all newly restored….. that was a view!
Definitely worth a visit!
When you come to London, I can take you there!
While we are talking ships….. my mum wanted to put more pictures from the second day of the festival on…. she did have more fun and more fireworks. She enjoyed it so much !
Enjoy!
Pictures are from facebook sources.
As you may have seen on “my beautiful things” blog the tall ships regatta started in Falmouth and sailed to Greenwich.
The Royal Borough of Greenwich is celebrating the largest fleet of Tall Ships to visit London in 25 years.
The start of the Festival was yesterday evening with music and fireworks.
The grounds of the historic old Royal Naval College was transformed into a huge aquarium filled with giant illuminated fish in a stunning underwater spectacle performed by a street theatre company.
As it was night, the pictures didn’t come out so well, but the atmosphere and ships I saw were amazing.
After the fireworks many ships passed us, including the Mercedes!
Here are the pictures….. (I might go tonight again for more fireworks…. and tall ships…. and pirates!)
Click on the pictures to see it better.
… and I met Jack Sparrow….
The fireworks were even better with my favourite music of Two Steps from Hell! I was in heaven!
A super evening out!
