It has been a while...
So I've neglected my blog for a while but there has so so much going on. There was Christmas, then new year, then we were moving house and Tomorrow we will be heading to London!
Luckily I managed to keep myself out the packing boxes but I can't believe just how much stuff the grown ups had to move! Humans are strange...I mean...I understand the hoarding of food but I'm sure that half the stuff they packed up to move will never see the light of day again!

They had to buy two new book shelves to put all of their books and DVDs on....I'm sure I heard them saying that even with the new bookcases there might not be enough space!
Early this year I also got a new friend; meet Wood the Woodlouse, he will be helping my human and I plant lots of things in our new garden soon.

My human and her friend even let me tag along when they went Tardis hunting, we found it hanging around in Newport station when it was on it's way to Cardiff as part a celebratory tour in the run up to The Day Of The Doctor back in November.
The humans seemed a little preoccupied with wishing that a Time Lord might randomly step out the Big Blue Box and offer to take them around the universe!
In preparation for a very exciting Brownie Guide camping trip in April, my human arranged for me to have my very own Brownie Guide uniform made. I think I look quite smart in it and I can't wait to hopefully start earning some badges as an honorary Brownie Guide! And finally, the bit that I am the most excited about right now... Tomorrow morning, my Human, her sister and myself will be driving to London to Harry Potter World! That will be another off my to do list so please come back soon because there will be so many pictures of tomorrow's Adventure! See you soon! | |
So this entry is a little late in its posting but a few weeks ago I spent the day with my human family at
The Black Country Living Museum in the West Midlands.
It was quite interesting seeing just how different life was in the not so distant past. It's mind boggling (especially for a sheep) to think about how much the humans take for granted in their every day lives!
Washing clothes, keeping warm, mobile phones, flushing a toilet, public transport, going to school, the space you have to live in, working conditions...all things that you human beings barely given a second thought to each day.
It was like stepping back in time at the Black Country Living Museum, the staff there dress is old clothes and do things in their old fashioned ways.
In one house there was a lady who was baking in the kitchen in an old fashioned range and as you stepped into the kitchen it was sooo warm, then she told us that that house only had two rooms!! One up and One down and that there used to be 8 people living there!
We got go down into the coal mine and it was really dark, i'm glad my humans held on to me tightly because if a little black sheep got lost down there i don't think i would ever have been found again! We also got to go to an old cinema and watch a black and white film of Laurel and Hardy that was amusing. There was an old fashioned sweet shop and we bought some fruit pips and delicious fudge to eat as we walked around and caught the tram or the ' trolly bus'. We even got to go to school! The boys and girls and to sit on different sides of the class room while the teacher (who was really strict) made everyone say their times tables, One person even got the cane for being naughty! | |
Though we didn't see any sheep while we were there we did see some pigs and some horses...i even spotted a couple of canaries when were at the coal mine.
Did you know that they used the canaries to help detect gas down in the mines? If the canary stopped singing you knew you had get above ground quickly!
They even used horses down in the mines too to pull the carts. These horses would spend pretty much their whole lives down in the dark mine. I don't think i would like that very much myself!
There was a fair ground too with a Helter Skelter and merry-go-rounds. I went on a really fast one with one of my human Friends...
All in all it was pretty fun day out!
So the website had been up for a few days now and changes and additions are still being made. My favorite addition so far is the bit on my destinations page where my friends and fans can suggest where they would like to see me go.
It would be impossible to find all the hidden treasures and secret adventures without the recommendations and suggestions from people that may have already been to or heard of these places.
So...if you haven't already posted your input then what are you waiting for....
have your say!
I look forward to hearing your suggestions :)
