We have been to Yorkshire

It was Unclcleclecle Kevin's birthday this weekend and Mummy decided to take him to Yorkshire as a treat and of course we all got to go with them. We stayed in a nice pub that had a really good view. There were lots of books to read about places roundabout too. And they had good pictures in them but it was best looking out from the pub and looking at the scenery.

The weather was properly hot and me and Bamburgh had to stay in Mummy's handbag a lot of the time because we are both red and we fade easily but when it was shady we could get out.

We went for a ride on a boat on a canal and it was OK for all of us to get out because there was a shady shelf to sit on. We could look out of the windows a bit too because we went along the canal and back again so the sun was on the other side of the boat sometimes.

It was good fun because we hve never been on a canal boat before. We have been on boats because we took a water bus when we went to Cardiff to see if we could find Dr Who but canal boats are different. They are long and narrow and we were lucky because we got to sit right at the front for this trip.

After we went on the boat we had fish and chips and ice cream and we stayed in the pub and then the next day we went to another town where they make beer and we went to see the brewery. They have a special place where they make barrels to put the beer in and the lady who showed us round said that Master Cooper worked there but it was his day off so we just looked at his workshop.

Then we got the best bit because they give beer away at the brewery and they had special plush-sized glasses for us to drink out of. Mummy said we could have a taste because we are all big plush but the little guys had to do without because they are so small and it wouldn't be good for them.

Easter egg hunt

We have had an easter egg hunt in the garden today. They were special plush sized eggs and Mummy hid them in little bags and we all went out to find them.
My brother Bamburgh found one on the honeysuckle tree.

I had to climb on the washing line to get at one.

Aubrey and Barry found one on the clematis tree.

Mitch climbed up on all sorts of things to get at some.

We found one on the hanging basket. We helped mummy to plant that and it's nearly time to do it again.

Bill found one on the willow tree.

The arrival of Nessie

While we were out Mr Postman called and left a note to say there was a parcel. We had to go out in the rain to fetch it from the post office.

It was a very PINK parcel so we knew from our friend This Bear that it was our new sister Nessie!


In case we didn't realise there was a note introducing her that was written on a nice card with a cat on it.


And suddenly she burst out of her pink parcel. She's very pink too - and she's a bit bigger than me.



We have some big cousins that live with us and I figured that she'd be OK with them. There's Ginger and Welton and Rhys and Draig and Red.



She seems to have settled in OK. Ginger has been talking to her all evening. I have no idea what about but they're getting on really well.

A place called Plush

We went to a village called Plush. I think they named it specially for us. It was near the rude man. Unclcecle Kevin says there are only two places called Plush in the whole wide world and the other one is in Oregon. That's in Merica.
We sat on the sign to have our pictures taken because it is so special to have a Plush village all to ourselves.

Here is the Moos

Hello everyone. I'm not sure whether I have introduced you to the Moos. They are my cousins. That means that Unclcleclecle Kevin is their daddy.


This is MooMoo. He sometimes gets called Mister Moo, or even just Moo. He was already there when Mummy first adopted me and he made me feel really welcome. Of course he came to stay when Unclclecle Kevin did so we all live together now.


Soon after I went to live with Mummy we found my brother Bamburgh and soon after that Morris turned up.

He's MooMoo's little brother. He's a really good kid and he doesn't make a fuss about much. But we think his eyesight might be a bit off because he always sits at the front when we watch the TV.

I only have one brother but MooMoo has to be special and go and have more. So one day when we were out he found another little brother.

That's Bill. He's a real sweetie and it's great fun showing him the world because he thinks everything is wonderful. Just look at that expression when he saw his first ever bee.

So now you know who I mean if I talk about Moo and his brothers.

Baa

I have a pet sheep. He's called Baa. He sort of wandered in one day and sat next to us on the back of the sofa and I asked Mummy if he could stay and she said yes and we've had him ever since. He likes flowers and eats fruit and he comes on holiday with us sometimes.

Hello World!

For those of you who don't know me I'm Eldritch the Dragon. I'm a red plush dragon and I live with my brother Bamburgh, Mummy, Unclcclecle Kevin, Moo, Morris, Bill and loads of other people.


We travel round a bit and see loads of great things and do all sorts of interesting stuff except when Mummy makes us do history and I take photos to put on Flickr and I paint and draw and I've just started writing about it so that's why I have a blog.


I hope that I can meet lots of exciting people online here. I already know some people and I'll probably introduce you to them as I get settled in. But I just thought I'd say Hello for now.


Hello!
