Hi Galiya Apa!
It was nice and sunny today, even if it was a little cold, so we decided to go out today. We walked into the town centre to meet Niki apa's mum who unfortunately had to work on this lovely day. We went through the peaceful cemetery, which was supposed to be out of bounds because some of the trees had fallen down in the storms, but Niki apa deemed it safe enough to walk through. While we walked through we saw a man taking pictures of a fallen tree, then cutting off a branch to keep as a souvenir! Niki apa said i couldn't do the same, as i wouldn't be able to carry it with me on my travels.
Niki apa's mum was surprised to see us when we got there. She works in a bank so it was quite busy and we had to wait to be able to see her.
Next, we went to look in the charity shops where we found a cute toy in need of a good home. We bought him and Niki apa intends on helping him become a TV very soon. He's hoping to be able to call himself "Eliot".
We then got in the car to go to Portland, which is an island connected to Niki apa's home town by a bridge. It has been closed off for the past couple of days as the road connecting Weymouth and Portland had been badly flooded.
Portland was the host of the 2012 Olympic sailing events, so there are lots of olympic statues around. Sadly, we didn't get to see them but Niki apa promises that we will do soon, when its less windy. However, all over England there are gold, silver and bronze coloured post boxes in the home towns of Olympic medallists so we managed to visit the one that was on Portland
There was a plaque on the side of the box explaining why it was coloured.
We had a lovely day out, i can't wait to go out more now the weather is clearing up!
Lots of love,
Batyr
