Travelog for: Krümelknirps

This is me. I am at home with some of my friends watching TV. My friends are: Mr. Popples (the big pink one), Junior (the little purple one, son of Mr. Popples), Lady Bird (the bird XD), Starchild (the little blue one) and Brownie (the Dog). Brownie always look a little bit sad because his owner died a long time ago. It was the grandmother from my mom. He is one of the things her grandmother left her. Today my mom and her human children go to the cinema and she would take me with her to show me my hometown and the castle of Nuremberg. I bring some photos to show it to you.

Thats me, helping my mom with her homework. She will become a confectioner. These ornaments are drawings for petit fours. Petit Fours are some very small cakes with chocolat or marzipan. Very delicious.

Driving with my family to the city. We want to go to the cinema, watching Merida 3D.

Photo # 1 : Here i wait with my family in the foyer of the cinema. Drinking some Coke and eating some popcorn. Yummy. We'll watchin Merida 3D. I'm so excited. Thats my first visit at the cinema.

Photo # 2 : Thats great. Its a little bit dark but i am dont afraid. Sitting here in my popcorn bath  and waiting till the film starts (btw...the film was great. Sometimes we're laughing  and at the end my mom was crying a little ) 

We went from the cinema across the marketplace to the castle of Nuremberg. At the marketplace you'll find the"schönen Brunnen" (it means beautyful fountain). A legend says that the smith who made the fence around the fountain had a beautyful daughter. The boy who learned the job by the smith, loved the girl. The boy asked the smith if he could marry her, but the smith sayd no. In this night the boy made a golden ring an put it into the fence, after that he went away and noone have seen him again. At the next morning the smith saw the ring and he sayd that is a wonder because you dont saw where the boy puts the ends together. Now the smith was very sad. Today, the legend says, when you circle the ring three times, a wish comes true.

Now we are at the castle. On one of the pictures you see the nice view over Nuremberg. Another one is in front of the castle, it shows the "Sinwell Turm". The next picture Shows another Legend. A bad guy in medievil times, called Eppelein, was catched. They want to kill him. His last wish was a ride on his beloved horse. The people sayd that will be ok cause he couldnt flee. Eppelein rides a few rounds and the he gave his horse the spores and sprung over the wall. They felt into mud and run away. They dont saw Eppelein for a long time. Only the prints of the horseshoes was left, till today.

The last photo is called "Chilling in Nuremberg"

Splish Splash I was taking a bath. Oh dear...what a day. I was walking around in my home and found a nice place for chilling. My mom have on her windowsill a pot with a mint-plant in it. its smelling sooo good. I tried to climb in the pot and suddenly i felt in some mud. My mom was watering the plant a few minutes before and now i was very dirty. My mom found me and rescued me. She said that I have to take a bath. It was very nice. I played with the foam and was chilling a little bit. After this, my mom was drying me carefully with a big towel.

Yesterday Jasper from Switzerland is arriving at my home. He is a very nice moose. But i don't have so much time to spend with him because my journey starts at this morning. I am leaving Germany and in the next days i will be in UK with my guestmom. I am a little bit sad but i think its will be an exciting adventure. I promised my mommy to send lots of postcards hom to show her where i am. On Yesterday evening i sayd jasper good bye.

Oh mom. Thats not nice. I thought you want to play with me. You know how much i like cookies. Hmpf.

Hi Mom!

I'm so happy to be out of the envelope  Thank you for putting the puzzle in as it kept me occupied and the postcards were lovely to look at and stop me getting homesick.



I'm very excited to be here in the UK. My host family are very kind. And I've even met another ToyVoyager called Marshmallow. Here we are relaxing together:



Marshmallow hasn't left his family yet, but he's just got back from his first family trip to Cornwall.

There are two other future ToyVoyagers as well - Noodle the Dog and Wilfred the Owl. They hope to travel one day. This is us on the toy bench where we sleep.



Well, I'd better go. We have a busy day tomorrow going to my host mom's dad's birthday!

I'll write again soon. Miss you but I'm having lots of fun

Hey Mom!

Well, today we went to Enfield in north London, which is where my hostmom's parents live. It was her dad's birthday today so we went to help them celebrate.

This is the yummy food we had:



And this is me with the pavlova, which was delicious!



It was such a hot day.  Here's me sunbathing with the gnomes:



And smelling the flowers...



Can you see me?!

We saw something else exciting too. I'll have to tell you next time as I'm going to play in the garden now with my host brother and sister.

Will write soon.
Lots of love,

Hi Mom!

Just a quick update to show you a picture of me and Marshmallow at a postbox.

It's not any ordinary postbox, it's a gold one! Every time a British person won a gold medal at the Olympics, they painted the postboxes gold in the town where they're from.



What do you think? I really love the postboxes this colour!

Hi Mom!

I had great fun playing in the garden with my host brother and sister!

Here I am on the slide:



Aren't I brave?? I got even braver after that and went down head first!



I was really proud of myself. There's a climbing frame too. They also had a big pool, but took it down when they went on holiday. Hostmom said they'll get it out again if the weather turns really hot.

Hope you're all OK and not missing me too much!

Hi Mom!

We had such a sunny day here that host mum decided to have a BBQ! It was really nice. Look, I helped cook the chicken!



And here I am with the tomato sauce:



We had sausages and burgers too.

Host mum said it's really lovely to be outside as it's rained so much this year. She said I'm lucky to visit the UK and see some sunshine 

Will write again soon.
Lots of love

Hello Mom!

Today I helped cook dinner! We had traditional English roast beef. First of all I had to pick some runner beans...



Then I helped to peel the potatoes:



And here is our dinner:



It was delicious! We had roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, carrots, parsnips, runner beans, broccoli, beef and gravy. 

Oh and while we were in the garden earlier, I had a peep in the ladybird house:



I couldn't see any ladybirds today though. Maybe next time.

Bye for now.
Love,
