More adventures another time!

Jippie! Today I will go to the airport and fly out to Liverpool airport in England!!!!!!!!!

dandilion will taking us to Blackpool pleasure beach if the weather treats us good to go on trill rides!

The bunch of us travelled with Leonie (dandilion) to England. We went on this airplane:

The flight went smoothly and fast! It was very excting to be in the sky!

We landed at Liverpool, at the John Lennon Airport,
Here you can see the yellow Submarine from the famous Beatles song.


We took the train to Blackpool, I was told I was going on some roller coaster rides! WOW!
We arrived in Blackpool, this is the famous Blackpool tower. They have many shows there, like stand up comedy, musical, and dance performances. We saw adds all over the sea side town promoting shows which are currently held there.


This is the view of one of the beach piers. There is much amusement here in the seaside town. Alot of people come here for a day trip (like us) or they stay for the weekend or holidays.



It was so much fun to walk around the amusement park, we saw all kinds of rides, one even bigger and faster then the other!

Too bad the weather didnt treat us well, it was raining and a bit sunny when the sun popped up behind the clouds.


The other toy voyagers and I we were taking a rest after we went on a fast an very wet ride called the Valhalla.
We queded up and when we were at the front, it didnt work! So we waited for such along time! A few hours later we qued up again with succes! It was very fun ride, on water and in the dark, very scary!

For a small sheep like me, I was very tired after a long day like this. I had much fun! I slept like a rose that night!

farwell Holland.. here I am in the train to the airport, dandilion(leonie) will take me and the other toys on a short adventure!


we are enjoying a chat whilst we are on the train, we are talking about where she will take us to!

very exciting!

here you can see me pose for the map of the world, we are staying in Bolton, England. it rains here alot so we stayed indoors quite a while.

And again we are on the train, we are heading towards the coast, Blackpool!



I am counting how many raindrops there are on the window.. after 18764 I lost track of counting hahahahaha

More photos and stories later :-)

whats cooking?



I cooked dinner with Veggies & Squiggles. Leonie helped us a little bit, she told us what to do and what we was making. I never tried this before. We had chicken breast with spiral pasta with Boursin (garlic spread) and mushroom sauce.
I really enjoyed the different flavours and smells!


I did a good job on cutting the onions, it made me cry! But not off sadness but of the smell of the onions. I was actually very happy and pleased I did it!

Squiggles, the small TV kept an eye on the frying pan, he helped Leonie with supervising us cooking.



mmm!!! that smells great!

We all helped set the table... but nothings on our plate YET!



Veggies had the first bite,

Then it was Squiggles turn to taste.

And last but not least I had a bite a very big bite


I really enjoyed this food!!! Very rich flavour and I was so full after this meal!

After we had dinner we went to the livingroom for a little rest, Leonie asked us to help out but the 3 of us were so exhausted of cooking and eating we didnt help her.

I enjoyed cooking and would like to help Leonie with cooking again... She whispered in my ear that next time I can help her prepare a dinner for my TV friends 
Hmm what shall we make.. well I have a night to sleep and thing about a new menu for the next time

Today dandilion and goofychicken went out on a day trip! So i be meeting my real mommy again!!!


I am ready to go! The bag is packed with all sorts of goodies we toy voyagers need to get through the day!

Hmm where will we go???
Hopped on the train,

Maybe I recognise a landmark and then I can figure out where we will be going!



No one is in the corridor of the train to ask where we are going to, and Leonie and goofychicken wont tell me!!!!
:-(

Finally after a train journey and a busride we arrived at:


Theme park the Efteling!!! Yeah Yeah!!!

Wow We went on a ride called Droomvlucht "dreamflight"
fairies everywhere and trolls!









We walked around FairyTale Forrest

The tale of SleepingBeauty, we passed a sleeping knight.


She is soo pretty!! A real princess!






Ezeltje strekje  (the donkey who gives gold coins )
Its Leonie in the pink shirt.. she just got a coin but its on the ground somewhere!!! lets help her finding it!

More pictures and adventures some other time!

Today a new toy arrived to stick around with us



We sat down and chatted like us girls can do best!
Dottie was very curious, she asked me many questions
We had fun just the two of us. A real girlie chit chat :-P


Before we knew it it was time to set off to Leonie her parents, we stayed there for the evening and dinner.

I loved the meatball, potatoes and green beans a real nice 'prakkie'

Skip the dog, invited the bunch of us to let our food settle. I fall asleep next to her, she is such a good dog!


Lets see what the weekend will bring us!
Byebye!

Today was the day Leonie cleaned up the rabbits cages, she asked all the toys to help her.

Yalara and Pebbles were very excited about us little ones helping out.



The bunch of us were chatting about playing a game whilst Pebbles was running around the livingroom.
We had the cage all to ourselves. The idea came up to play hide and seek in the straw

Veggies the bunny was the one to count till 100 so the other toys could find a spot to hide.

Veggies discussed with Frizzle (the stay at home toy bunny of leonie) what a good place to look for us

Dottie, Squiggles all gathered around me to hide!


Veggies looked left and right,, but still didnt find us ;-)

Pebbles also tried helping out with finding us, but all she did was running around the house!

hahaha funny Veggies she looked even on the outside of the cage


OH No so close!!


Gotcha!!!!  We were found!!!


This was a very nice game we played and we all fell over of laughing!


Some work needed to be done on Yalara her cage.
Squiggles and me helped with putting fresh straw in her cage



I am ready to catch it! Trow it down to me!




Curious Yalara came check me out, if I was doing a good job preparing her bed for her lol
She agreed the work in progress was doing very well!

MMM yum yum what a nice place to stay!


Yummy straw to chew on and hay to knibble on. Enjoy your new fresh bed Yalara sweetie

The bags were packed and we were ready to set off for a weekend break. The destination was the province Friesland. And we went to the place called Workum:



Workum (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Country  Netherlands
Province  Friesland
Population
- Total c. 4,000

Workum (West Frisian: Warkum) is the largest town of Nijefurd in Friesland. It received city rights in 1374. It lies within the municipality of Nijefurd. Currently has around 4000 inhabitants.

Today, Workum is probably best known for having a museum dedicated to the very popular artist Jopie Huisman. Furthermore it is one of the eleven cities of the Elfstedentocht.

Here we are enjoying the Dutch scenery view from out the train.


We set off early friday morning and arrived about 2 o clock in the afternoon. The flag was hanging outside of the room we stayed at




Friesland  (taken from wikipedia)
(West Frisian: Fryslân, Dutch: Friesland) is a province in the north of the Netherlands and part of the bigger region known as Frisia. In order to distinguish it from the other Frisian regions, it is commonly specified as Westerlauwer Frisia, Westerlauwer Friesland, West Frisia or West Friesland. The latter two names may lead people to confuse the region with the neighbouring landscape called 'West-Friesland', in the North Holland province.

Up until the end of 1996, the province bore Friesland as its official name. In 1997 this Dutch name lost its official status to the Frisian endonym Fryslân.

Friesland has 643,000 inhabitants (2005) and its capital is Leeuwarden (Ljouwert), with 91,817 inhabitants, in the center of the province.
Friesland distinguishes itself from the other eleven provinces through having its own language, West Frisian, which is also spoken in a minor part of the province of Groningen, to the east. Closely related languages, East Frisian ("Seeltersk", which is different from "East Frisian (Ostfriesisch)", a collection of Low German dialects of East Frisia) and North Frisian, are spoken in the Saterland and in North Friesland areas in Germany, respectively. Friesland was a part of the German empire until 1680 when it separated and joined the Netherlands. Part of Friesland is still considered part of Germany (Ostfriesland)



The English language is also closely related to West Frisian. There is a saying about it: "As milk is to cheese, are English and Fries." Another version of this saying reads (in West Frisian): "Bûter, brea, en griene tsiis; wa't dat net sizze kin, is gjin oprjochte Fries", which in English reads: "Butter, bread, and green cheese, whoever can't say that is no upright Fries" (According to legend, the 16th century Frisian freedom fighter Pier Gerlofs Donia forced his captives to repeat this shibboleth to distinguish Frisians from Dutch and Low Germans). The saying plays on the sound differences between the Dutch and Frisian words for "butter, bread, and green cheese", which in Frisian are pronounced almost identically to their English counterparts (showing the original closeness between the two languages), while in Dutch ("Boter, brood, en groene kaas"), these words sound quite different.



Friesland is mainly an agricultural province. The famous black and white Friesian cattle and the well known black Friesian horse originated here. Tourism, mainly on the lakes in the south west of the province, and on the islands in the Wadden Sea in the north, is an important source of income, too. Technology companies such as Asset Control have also set up base in Friesland.

The province is famous for its speed skaters, with mass participation in cross-country skating when weather conditions permit. In winters that are cold enough to allow the freshwater canals to freeze hard, the province is the focus of the Elfstedentocht (Eleven cities tour), a 200 kilometers ice skating tour. In the warmer months, many Frisians practice wadlopen, the traditional art of wading across designated sections of the Wadden Sea at low tide. Another Frisian practice is fierljeppen, a sport with some similarities to pole vaulting. A jump consists of an intense sprint to the pole (polsstok), jumping and grabbing it, then climbing to the top while trying to control the pole's forward and lateral movements over a body of water and finishing with a graceful landing on a sand bed opposite to the starting point. Because of all the diverse skills required in fierljeppen, fierljeppers are considered to be very complete athletes with superbly developed strength and coordination.



Another interesting feature are the many windmills. There are 195 windmills in the province of Friesland, from a total of about 1200 in the entire country.





We rented bicycles to explore the area of Workum and the nearby places of interest. Such as Hindeloopen.










In Hindeloopen there was a sailing contest, but due to the lack of wind they just sailed around.
There was a small market with some stands, look at the delicious Friese kaas  Frysian cheese



After we walked around we sat down for a short break, in the back you can see the masts of the boats in the harbour of Hindeloopen.
 

We cycled back and this is the map we used for the routes:



On our way back we came across only farm land, either with cattles (cows) or sheep. Also we saw horses, and only one special Frysian big horse, too bad it was too far for a picture and we were not allowed on the farms premisise.







We came back very tired so we went straight to bed:


The next day a new adventure.....

MMM we are in the kitchen...whats on the menu:
Muffins!
 

Mixing the ingredients, its looks smooth enough.

 
I decorated mine with coloured bits

So they are ready for the oven, lets see: 
They look delicious, lets have a bite!

It is snowing!!! The toys and I looked out the window and we saw white cars!


Brr! It looks cold outside, I stay inside where its warm and cosy
