Awaiting the Faery~ ~~

Marion sprinted across the fresh, green meadows, panting frantically & tripping across twigs & smooth coal-like pebbles on her way ."Must run... ..."she muttered under her breath. She stopped suddenly & collapsed onto the soft,cotton grass since she could no longer bear it. At least she made it to the faery mound. The breeze brushed gently against her skin & brunnette hair. She grasped her hands tightly around the nearest bed of daisies & felt for the tiny petals. The scent ofthese minature plants made her calm down like the soothing water from the icy streams that trickles down the hillside. The gigantic sun rose above her head, sending sweat rolling down Marion's back. Marion just lay there, still like a rock by the water's edge. She now awaits the illuminous faery's message.

Happiness & Sadness-all in one day

We all woke up very excited because today was a birthday-day for 3 members of the family, Ben, Uncle Simon & Millie( Amelia )!!! At first, we all had some delicious cake, completely covered with icing on top ( as some people might say, but I think it is a bit to sweet so for recomendation I would give it to sweet lovers). Then after lunch is the tragic time where we all had to say goodbye to the people that are leaving ( not me because of visa) & I nearly burst into tears when I saw mum leave ( I praticly already had started though). So here I am, waiting for a phone call.

A Foolish Delay

Today mum made an awful mistake. She left my China-entering passport in Taiwan!!! That meant that it had to be sent to England by tommorow morning. It won't ever arrive in time unless I wait till Monday/Tuesday.Plus, that also means that I am going to miss out the first week of school!!!

A Trip to the Coolest Natural History Museum in the World!

This very morning, we rushed to the oppositeof our hotel at 10:00 am straight into the crowded front doors of the Natural History mueseum of London. Inside the great hall, there was the most well known sauropod, the Diplodicus. Everyone that had made there way in through the crowds were all heading for the Dinosaurs exhibition. There was electronic diosaurs, fossils & even a realistic,moving T-rex that made me shiver!

Ilam Park hiking in Peak District

Today we went to Ilam Park in Peak District. It was a fantastic walk with perfect weather to match!!!



Then we strolled long to an icy cold stream & we had a terrific time splashing about even though our feet were nearly frozen!

Then after we climbed up a hill to see a natural spring running out of a cave, we stomped back down to the stream & there was Ben & Uncle Leo catching mudskippers. I helped them make a den to put the fishes they caught in.
