India's Blanket

Mummy has finished India's blanket and it is ready to go in India's new bedroom. Hope you like it India!

Love Mummy xxxxx

Janjan and Lauren Came to Visit!

India was very excited when Janjan and Lauren came to stay. She was not allowed to come to the airport with Mummy to collect them and so had to wait till the Sunday morning to see them but it was worth the wait.

India wanted to show Janjan and Lauren Cararra Markets so we all got into our little car and set off. On the way we all sang along to "Mercy" by Duffy which became our favourite tune for the whole of our stay in Australia and we would all sing along to it.

We also sang lots of Girl Guide songs and I think one of the best ones that we enjoyed was "The Quartermaster's Stores". India knows all the words!

One night we all went to the jacuzzi at Trilogy Apartments were we were staying. It was lovely and warm and we had the whole place to ourselves.

Every morning Mummy and India would have their "morning cuddle", at time which is very special to India and Mummy. I miss our cuddles and can't wait to hold my India again.

India tried to persuade Lauren to do a bunjy jump but she wasn't going to say yes. Here India and I are at the slingshot posing for our photo which is about as close as we have to got to doing a bungy jump.... but maybe one day.

Horse Riding on Mount Tambourine

Mummy and India went horse riding and India's friend Mikaela and her Mummy Chrissie came too. They rode for 1 hour and India and Mikaela did a great job.

India's horse looked very large next to her but she did a fantastic job and the teacher said that India is a born natural!

India wants to go every week. I hope that she can.

Mikey the Bichon Frise

Our Bichon Max died and went to "puppy heaven" earlier this year and we all miss him very much. Imagine our surprise to find that staying next door to us was a Bichon Frise just like Max but called Mikey!




Every day after school India and Mummy would take Mikey for a walk at 4pm to the nearby park. He loved it and so did we.

Mikey met lots of friends in the park and we had a great time. India loved having a little dog to walk again.

We all miss Max every day and we miss India every waking moment that she is not with us. Love Mummy xxx

Sand Shoes on the Beach

India built some lace up shoes for Mummy from sand and then Mummy built some ballet shoes out of sand for India.

Mummy and India then built a huge forest of sand trees. We had a lovely time together.

Under 8's Day at Surfers Paradise Primary School

India was excited this morning to go to school as it was Under 8's day. This mean't that the children did not have to do lessons but could do a number of fun activities.....
The assault course which included a balance beam and a tunnel.


I am not sure how many children were playing with the parachute at one time but they all had fun running underneath it!

India blew some huge bubbles and she had a thoroughly enjoyable day and Mum stayed with her all day and best of all, when the activities were over India got to leave early with her Mummy...me!

Australia June 2008 with India

Doesn't she look beautiful? The face painting lady at Carrara markets does a great job and India and I have been visiting her since India was a little girl.




Also at the market we came across the Python lady who let India and Mikaela touch the Python.
