A busy week

Hello Everyone,

We have had a very busy week.  We would like to tell you what we did.

Last week when we were at the childrens museum Nana bought us a book called Greyfriar's Bobby.  It's a true story about a famous dog who lived a long time ago.  He was a little police dog who loved his master, Old Jock, very much.  Everyone liked Old Jock (whoes name was really John Gray) and Bobby a lot. One day Old Jock died and Bobby was very sad.  He missed his master so much that he wouldn't leave his grave and stayed there for the rest of his life.  Bobby lived for a long time after his master died and all the people around the church yard used to feed and look after him.  The local government even paid his registration fees.

When Bobby died, everyone was really sad.  They secretly buried Bobby next to his Master in the graveyard and they also made a statue for him out the front.  On Friday afternoon we went to see Bobby's statue and the shops around the graveyard that he used to go to.

 Here are some photos;

In the graveyard there was a creepy little shop.  The sign for the shop looked really scary;

On the way back from Greyfriar's Bobby, we stopped to watch a street performer (magician).  Ollie helped him do some magic tricks.  Ollie cut a piece of rope using his fingers like scissors.  He also said that i was so pretty that Ollie and I should go on a date!  He didn't know were were brother and sister.

On Saturday, we met some more of Nana's cousins, and had a really nice lunch with Patricia and Elizabeth.  Elizabeth lives in England.  Then, on Sunday, we took Nana back to the airport to fly back to Australia.  She is probably arriving in Sydney right about now.  She was really sad to go.

At school I am having an awesome time.  I've been doing cheerleading with my two friends Trisha and Jorja on Friday afternoons.

Bye,
Amelie
