Hello everybody!!
I can't believe it, my first travelog update. I'm sooo happy that I am a toyvoyager now :D
I already know my first host. It's freestyle from the USA. My Mum Marie told me that I can be sure to experience great things there. I wonder what she means...
Anyway, here is a photo of me. Mummy always tells me that she found me so sweet, she had to buy me :cyclops:

There was a judo performance

lots of different types of food, such as Takoyaki, it's like a grilled octopus with round shape dumpling.

we saw koi fish, they were huge!

After doing a lot of gardening last weekend; I decided that I would help Jemma sort out some clothes she had been given.

Sadly; none of the clothes fitted me, nor Jemma! She is going to sell them next weekend...She also told me today that we will be getting some new TVs soon!

All excited now!
JemmaJ

Jemma has a laptop; she is always on it...today we saw this appear. MimiHopps and I are a little confused about it; but it is very pretty!
JemmaJ


Posted Jun 20, 2013, 12:39 pm
Today has been rather exciting; a new TV arrived here at Jemma's house...it is Lillepuss from Germany. Myself and MimiHopps greeted Lillepuss with huge smiles. I don't think that they liked being in the envelope.
JemmaJ


Posted Jun 20, 2013, 12:58 pm
Today Jemma asked if we would all help her with some posting. It was okay; pieces of card with faces on them, she was posting them to Australia.

Also it was MimiHopps's last day; so Lillepuss and I helped her get it into her envelope. I think she will be okay.
JemmaJ


Posted Jun 20, 2013, 1:00 pm
Today has already been really busy!

Another TV arrived in the post - Stripes from Jasper

It was all exciting! Then we all helped Jemma bag her BookCrossing books ready for our trip out tonight.

We are going to the Forest with her Guides (hopefully she will explain what they are later...)
JemmaJ


Posted Jun 28, 2013, 9:32 am
Well; we are all going on an adverture tomorrow. We all asked if we could help book everything - you have to love doing every day things!

Here we are looking at the website of where we are visiting.

Google maps is showing us where we are going.

We are going to "BSL Pride Day - Party in the Park"; it is in London. There are going to be a lot of Deaf people there.

This is the map of where the Party in the Park will happen. We will need to get a train there.

We helped Jemma book our train tickets; we will need to use a device called the Tube. So we will need to see what she is talking about.

This is a map of the Tube; it is a train that goes underground. Hopefully it will not be to dark!

If we have time; Jemma will take us to another place which is near to the Party.

Hey mum; look where we've all been at....
London!

It was very sunny so Jemma tried to put us all in the shade. Look out her bananas changed in the weather! Jemma moved the bananas before I could eat them!

The second place we went to was...Buckingham Palace! People did look at Jemma strangely! There were many people taking photos of the Queen's house.

To make up for us all missing the Forest Trip the other week, Jemma took us to the national headquarters of Girlguiding UK. Jemma had to put us all on her bag to be seen in the pictures...

What do you think?

Posted Aug 4, 2013, 4:14 pm
Today all of us went to a car boot sale; Jemma tries to go every week. We stayed in the car as people wanted to buy us!

We tried to confuse Jemma by moving around the car while we were waiting to park the car. Hopefully the weather will stay fine; as none of us want to get wet!
