More Dragonfest

We're still doing Dragonfest over here in North Wales. We've got this lovely cottage where we're staying with our friend Idris Bach and we had to bring Mummy and Unclclecle Kevin so they can pay for everything.

The view from the window is awesome and it hasn't been raining all the time, but even when it does there's stuff to do. This was all of s trying to see out of the window at the same time. I don't know where Dexter was. I expect he was off doing something good with the others.

We're not all dragons here at Dragonfest. These are the Moos. Well that's just a silly name for them really. Moo is my cousin and the others are Morris and Bill and Rolly. Rolly's the one in the front of the picture. He's from Cardiff so he understands the language round here. You can see Morris's nose and a bit of Bill's eye if you look carefully. The big bald guy is Mitch. He's an orang utan from Michigan who we adopted a couple of years ago. They were all watching TV when this photo was taken. I think they feel a bit left out of Dragonfest but they don't have to. We're friendly.


We even have our own Pink Bunny. The real Pink Bunny is a friend but she couldn't make it to Dragonfest so we got a stand-in for her. It's Rolly's teddy really.





Whenever we travel anywhere we always bring our teddies with us. Winnie the Pooh in the middle used to be mine but when I got my little brother I gave him my teddy and so mummy got me a new one. Mine's the one second from the right. The green one is Mitch's and the tiny one next to it is Bill's. The cow one is Moo's although he's sort of outgrown it now because he's nearly 13 and he says he's too old so he gave it to Morris. Pink Bunny is Rolly's. I'm not sure who owns scarf bear but he always comes with us and we sort of share him around.

The one on the back of the sofa isn't a teddy bear, he's Brian. He's a real bear. But he pretends that he's Dexter's teddy because they both think it's funny. And the other one is Jeffrey Mouse. He's from Merica and used to live in our favourite diner but he came to stay with us a few years back now.

The boiler

More about our Welsh holiday.

We met Idris and saw his boiler.
They have dragons on everything here. Even the cheese!

DRAGONFEST!

We have come to Welsh Wales to visit our friend Idris Bach at his cottage in Snowdonia and we are having a dragonfest! We've brought everyone with us because Welsh Wales is the land of the red dragon and we always feel at home here.


On the way we stopped off at somewhere called Rug Chapel only the Welsh Wales people pronounce it 'Rig' because they talk a different language from us. (Although all dragons can understand each other even the Chinese ones)

Rug chapel is very pretty.

There are lots of lovely carvings.

And there was a special plush-sized seat near one of the posh windows.


That's me and Dexter and Mitch (he's not a dragon, he's an orang utan) and my brother Bamburgh.

Round the corner from the chapel was a farm shop like Denstone only Welsh and they had a big cow sculpture so Unclclclecle Kevin took Moo's and Morris's and Bill's and Rolly's picture sitting near it.

Well anyway. We got to the cottage eventually and here we all are with Idris's greeter dragon. (Idris lives in the boiler downstairs)

This is Welton (the big green one) and Nessie (the pink one) and Ginger (the pale blue one) and Marfleet (another green one with yellow bits) and Rhys Ruthin (the big red one) and Dexter (the green one in the blue jumper) and Draby (the purple one) and Ddraig Denbigh (the red one) and Bamburgh in his new black jacket and Me in my new brown pants and Sandy the little guy.

Baa made friends straight away because there are friendly sheep here too.

We are going to have a good holiday.

Sent to Coventry

Mummy took us to Coventry yesterday and Unclclcelcle Kevin treated us to a Chinese buffet. The best bit was the puddings. They had special plush-sized dishes.

Bamburgh went mad for the green wobbly jelly and strawberry ice cream.

Treats!

We had a lovely treat because Mummy made yummy fruit with chocolate. There was a hot pot for melting with. We all had to stay away from that though because it was dangerous for plush people.


Rolly really liked the look of the raspberries.

Moo couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the chocolate dipped strawberry, He said it was bigger than Bill!

I tried to dip one myself on a long fork but Mummy had to help me because I got too warm.

Bamburgh ate the cherries on their own. It was all very very nice.

Holiday time at the seaside

Mummy and Unclcleclecleclelclcle Kevin have brought us to the seaside for a little holiday. It's been raining all the time but we don't mind cos we've had fish and chips and ice cream and pizza and stuff. And chocolate and all sorts of nice things.

We had a ride on a Batman car and mummy had a go on a machine that let her win a plush dolphin. It's not a real dolphin or it would need to have water to live in. It's a fluffy blue one.

New t-shirt and a new friend

Mummy went shopping to buy me a new t-shirt yesterday and she bought more than she thought. She went to the build a bear shop and she found me a wonderful new shirt, but it was being modeled by a dragon!

His name was Dexter and he was really cute and good looking. I spose you have to be cute and good looking to be a model. Anyway she said did he want to come and live with other dragons because he was in among lots of bears and stuff and didn't have other dragons to talk to. And he said yes!





So this is Dexter. He's only a distant relative of ours because he's green and we come from a long line of red dragons (which means we have Welsh ancestry) but we were still really pleased to have him come and live with us. You have to admit he's very good looking.



But so am I. This is me in my new t-shirt. Mummy said we could do a proper fashion shoot with me wearing my new stuff. I got the sleeveless hoodie while we were on holiday in the museum place and this t-shirt goes really well with it. Dexter says it's called Urban and so mummy did a city sort of background to go with it. Apparently, if I wore trousers I would need to have them half way down my tail to complete the look. I think I'm glad I don't wear trousers.

He showed me some model-type poses to make the clothes look really good.
