Visiting Family & Friends (Feb 08)

Hi Fans,
It didn't take Mummy & I long to get over jet lag so we were soon out & about visiting family and friends, first stop was to see my Great Grandparents in Flamborough (not pictured)and we went to lunch at the Ship Inn, then Grannie & Grandad Chaplin came to pick Mummy & I up and we went to see my Great Grannie in Bishopthorpe before heading onto Leeds to spend 6 days with them, it was great, Grannie read to me lots and Mummy even got a flat white coffee - courtesy of Grandad finding a cafe in Leeds owned by an Aussie yiphee for flat whites. Whilst at Grannie & Grandads we went across to Manchester and popped in to see Briony before going round to see my Uncle Gary and soon to be officially my Aunty Lisa - I got to show off my new tricks to a new audience, but I was a touch poorly so wasn't in the best of moods to be my usual bright chirpy self.

Then after staying at Grannie and Grandads we had a couple of days back at Nanna's before heading off to Hull to stay with Grandad Johnson. This time I can safely say we weren't flooded in and no natural disasters happened well whilst in Hull anyway. At Grandad Johnson's we went to The Deep which is an aquarium and this time I had lots more fun as Mummy let me run around, we hit the shops and Grandad bought me an outfit and I got to have Sunday lunch with my Aunty Gemma too, Grandad also took us over to see my Great Grandparents again and on the way we stopped in to say hello to Grandads friend Di.

After visiting Hull and on our first night back at Nanna's we were (well I wasn't I slept through it) woken up at 1am by an earthquake, yes an earthquake hit England 5.4 on the Richter scale, with the epi-centre being in Lincoln not really that far from York, luckily no damage was done at our home, although a photo frame did fall off a shelf and into my cot yikes.........

So then it was onto Manchester to stay with Briony, Briony picked us up on the Friday and we stayed overnight, Mummy & Briony hit the shops in Manchester for a spot of retail therapy as they call it!!!!!!! then once I was in bed, tucked up & fast asleep, Mummy & Briony watched Dawson's Creek, a firm favourite of the two so I am told and Mummy cried her eyes out at the ending as she hadn't seen this before - it was very sad honestly.

So once again we've been busy little bees jetsetting around the country, enjoying company, having fun and eating everyone out of house and home.

And as usual there is lots more to come from our trip so stay tuned, as I will eventually tell all.

Have fun out there

All my Love Ruby x
