Moo's Birthday

Today was Moo's birthday. To make life easy all the Moos have the same birthday so we don't have to remember and we have a HUGE party to celebrate together. From the left that's Rolly, Moo, Bill and Morris. If you look carefully you can see Squeak in Bill's hood. Squeak's a rat. Bill loves him a lot and carries him round all the time.

When they'd opened all their presents they had a huge pile of swag. We bought them the Merican sweeties (candies). We're having hot dogs and trifle for tea.

Victorian fish and chips

There is a big Mooseum in a place called after a big bridge near another place called after the engineering man and we go there sometimes for fish and chips because mummy and Unclclecle Kevin say that the fish and chips where we live are a naughty word. It's an hour drive from home but we don't mind because we get good fish and chips when we are there.

We have been to the Mooseum before and put pictures on here about it.

Further round in the Victorian village there is a bank like the one where our friend Llechi dragon (@LlechweddDragon) works at his Mooseum except it isn't the same it's taller and doesn't have nice windows.


After we went to the village bit of the Mooseum we went to another bit all about making clay pipes. Silly people used to use them to smoke filthy stuff and make themselves smell but the pipes were good and we saw a nice man called Rex making them.

Some of them had dragon claws on them!

PS. I should have said and Hammie reminded me.... Nice Mr Rex said that you don't have to smoke his pipes. You can blow bubbles with them if you like.

The end of dragonfest

We've had a great time in Wales. We've been staying with our friend Idris at his cottage in Snowdonia and we got to meet our friend Llechi (that's Welsh for slate and he works in a mine. It was really interesting)

To mark our last night we had a party in the shed and we had the sparkly lights on. Everyone was there. You can watch the slideshow at the top of the page.

Dragonfest on the road

We went for a day out today and decided to take Idris's greeter dragon with us as a treat for being so welcoming and kind. We let him ride up front in the special dragon seat.


We went to a pretty village that had lovely shops in it and we found this rather proud looking dragon defending one where they sold wooden things.

Then we went for a walk and heard about a very brave dog who saved his boss's baby from a wolf but his boss got it all wrong and stabbed him with a sword before he realised. The dog was called Gelert and he was so famous that they called the village after him.

On the way to see the brave dog Baa saw lots of sheep in a field and he tried to talk Welsh to them but they ignored him.

"Bore daaaaaaaaaa!"

Then we went for a drive through the mountains and we saw lots of big pointy hills and it was a long way up and all the way down again.

The biggest mountain was called Snowed On and it was so high that the top was in the clouds!

Then we went to a place called Car and Van or something and there was a big castle. Baa thought he would like to live near it because it had a lush grass lawn.

Dragonfest at the seaside

Today we went to the seaside and had Dragonfest there. There was a big castle at the top of a hill in a place called Cricked Neck or something like that. It was very windy and cold and it rained a bit but not as much as it did yesterday.
We went to see RNLI while we were there. We always look after the RNLI people and make donations because they rescue people at sea and that is very important.
Afterwards we went to the nice Cadwalader place for a cup of tea and an ice cream. They have their own biscuits to put in the ice cream and they have a picture on like this.

Dragonfest moves to Llechwedd

We have a Twitter friend called Llechi and he works at Llechwedd Slate Caverns in north Wales so we took Dragonfest to visit him. It's a really exciting place to go and it starts with a ride on a tram to go deep underground and see where the miners used to dig out slate for roofs and stuff.
It was very dark underground.


There were interesting photos of how it used to be for the people making slates.
That's the entrance to the mine where the tram goes.
Llechi and his human were working in the bank and so we went to see them there. His human is very nice and kind and obviously loves dragons.
Llechi took us to meet the bank manager and showed us around the bank office.
And he explained all about the Victorian village where the bank is.
And as a souvenir Llechi gave us all lovely shiny pennies to remember our visit by. There were enough for everyone. Llechi and his human are very generous!
It was good to meet you Llechi!

Port Merry One

Yesterday we went to somewhere called Port Merry One or something like that and it was very posh. It was by the seaside but it didn't have amusements or fish and chips or anything but there was ice cream and pizza.

It was dragon friendly because we found one that had his own shop. He was a golden dragon and he was a bit snobby but his shop was good and Dexter bought a badge with a mermaid on it. I think he just liked it because it has uncovered boobies.


It rained a bit while we were there but there are lots of shelter places and the views are good even when they are wet.
