Here comes the bride!

Charlie here :o)

Tiddy and I interrupted our trip to go to a wedding. I thought you'd like to see photos of the day. Here we are with the bride and bridesmaid. Aren't they beautiful?

They travelled to the wedding in a huge stretch limo. Tiddy and I travelled in the back. Can you see us through the window? Tiddy dressed up especially. Can you see his dicky bow? He looked like James Bond!

After the wedding, the photographer took lots of photos of the bride and groom (that's the name they give to the new husband).They wanted a photo of us with the two of them, as we are quite famous now. Can you  see the groom's kilt? It's like a skirt, but especially for men. They wear kilts a lot in Scotland, just like Tiddy did. Remember his trip to Edingburgh?

After the wedding, there was a special meal. We had to travel for a few miles, so the bride and groom travelled in a fire engine! Tiddy thought it was really exciting, and climbed all over it! Can you see the pretty ribbon on the front?

Tiddy tried to drive the fire engine, but his legs were too short, so he couldn't reach the pedals. There was a blue light on top of the fire engine. It was just like he was a real fire man. I'm glad he didn't have to put any fires out though, as he would have been late for the meal!

Here's a photo of us travelling in the fire engine to the meal. There was plenty of room for us, the bride and groom, and some others, as it had room for 18 full sized people. Tiddy and I are only little, so we didn't take up too much room.


It was a very exciting day! Tiddy will be back soon, to tell you more of our trip to France.

Our first trip abroad!

Charlie here!

We've been on a ferry to France! It was so exciting as Mrs C drove the car onto the ferry. Then we had to climb lots of steep stairs to get to the nice part of the ship. Tiddy found a door to the outside and had his photo taken with the white cliffs of Dover behind him. Can you see them? They are white because they are made of chalk. 

We found a lovely seat in the restaurant. There was a great view out of the window. Another ferry was turning around near us. It was massive! The captain welcomed us on board with a message on the speaker system. Then we had to listen to very important safety information.

We got pasties from the restaurant, which were very nice. Tiddy decided that he would need extra food incase the captain asked him to help steer the ship, so he ordered chips too. I had a nice big drink of Pepsi.

After lunch, we went exploring. Can you see all the machinery on the deck below us? It looked very impressive. Tiddy said he wasn't sure how it worked, so I said he should stay away from it incase he had an accident.

There were lots of cars on the ferry, but also, lots of huge lorries. Tiddy liked this yellow one best. Tiddy found out that, last year, over 2 million lorries crossed the channel, either going to or from Dover. That's a lot!

On the ship, there were advertisements for Disneyland Paris. We weren't going to Disneyland, but I found this very clever poster with Mickey Mouse on.  Can you see the beautiful princess in the pink dress and the handsome pirate? If you look closely, you will see something to make you giggle. There were holes for us to put our heads through. It's me and Tiddy!!!Doesn't Tiddy look brave?

Our holiday had started and we were very excited! We'll tell you what happened next very soon.

Day trip to Blackpool.

Hi Everyone,

it's me again, and I'm back to tell you where Charlie and me went to spend all the money I made in Scotland. My idea for making money wasn't as clever as the banks up there who print it, but I did have a few pounds and we knew just the place to spend it.

Blackpool! The sea side capital of the north. We were so excited at the stories of the fantasticle things like, trams, arcades, shows, piers and a tower. We was

nearly busting with excitment as we got nearer and nearer. Then Mr.P said that they'd shut Blackpool!



We parked the car and went to investigate and it didn't look good. There were cranes, bollards, fencing, big holes and builders everywhere. I tried to make the most of it and see if I could have a go on a crane cos the trams were gone, but I got a bit stuck!

Mrs C came to the rescue and told me not to worry cos we could still go to the Arcade. It was loads more brillianter than a tram ride, and we spent stacks of my Scottish money.


After the arcade we went to find out if anything else in Blackpool was still working, and we found the most famous thing that Blackpool's got, The Tower!

The tower was so, so, so tall. I know I'm small, so even some short things look tall to me, but honest it's absolutely, humungusly bigger than big. Really it's so massive, you can see it from 30 miles away. It would take 367 and a half tiddy's stood on top of each other to reach the top, not a lot of people know that.

After The Tower we kept searching for the bits of Blackpool that were still working. We had to go through shops and down lanes to get around all the shut bits, but it was worth it cos we found The Pier!

It was so much fun running along the boards looking down to see the sea. Charlie was feeling tired so we had a sit down, but I wanted to see more of the sea.

There were loads of really great things on the Pier including shows like the big wheel, but my favourite thing was the Helter Skelter.

O' before I go, Mr P told us a really funny poem about Blackpool that he heard when he was a little, like hundreds of years ago. If you want to hear it check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVbHIUA0S0U&feature=related .

Bye for now,

Mr. Hume's Big Toe!

Hi,

I'm back again, trying to catch up after the latest

leg of our attempts at global conquest. Speaking of legs, did you know that one of the most popular things in Edinburgh is a Big Toe! Honest, we went to see the castle, Scot's Monument and tons of stuff, but the biggest crowd was around Mr. Hume, and they all wanted to touch his big toe.

Mr. P told me that Mr. Hume (who's first name was David) was born 300 years ago and he was a Philosifiser or something. Anyway it means he was famous for thinking stuff. One of the things he was famous for thinking is that superstition was silly, which I think is really funny, because all the people touch his toe because they think it's lucky.

Mind you I think toes are funny because I don't have any. I wonder if you can be famous for thinking even if you haven't got toes? I'd like to be famous, maybe I could go the the Edinburgh Fringe as the "Thinking Tiddy with No Toes".

Well for now I'll just keep climbing on things and wait for my big break.

Bye for now,

Tiddy x

Last stop in Scotland.

Hi Everyone,

it seems absolutely ages since my last blog. Charlie and I have been away with Mrs C and Mr P on a cycling trip abroad. We'll tell you where and what we got up to later in the week, but first we've a couple of things to tell you about the last days of our trip up North.

I know you've all been waiting to know what my brilliant plan was to raise some money. Well it was when we visited Edinburgh that I got my fantabulous idea. 


I thought because Edinburgh was the capital city of Scotland that everyone would be wearing a kilt. I was wrong! It seemed that the only other person that we saw in the whole of the city wearing a kilt was playing the bagpipes and people were giving him money! This was too good a chance for a Talented Tiddy to miss, so it was off the the castle to meet my public.

I was having a great time and I think most of the people liked the way I played, or maybe they gave me the money for just being so cute.

The money was starting to pile up when Charlie said that there were some men from the castle coming so we should make a move.

I thought they might want my autograph, but Charlie said she was pretty sure that I was wrong and we should get going.

When we got home from the day in Edinburgh I counted my money. At first I thought it was pretend money, but Mr P told me that some of the banks in Scotland print their own money. I think Scottish money is so cool.




Be back soon to tell you all about Mr Hume's Big Toe!

A Royal connection!

Hello! Charlie here.

One day, we went to visit St. Andrews. It is a city with sea, sand, a golf course, nice shops and a very famous university. Well, you may have heard about a very special wedding between the future King, Prince William and Catherine Middleton. They met while studying at university, here, in St. Andrews. That's sooooooo romantic!

Tiddy and I walked around the golf course. It was a bit cold, but we enjoyed seeing all the golfers. Tiddy was especially excited, as he found a golf ball on the path. Can you see it on the photo?

When we were walking along the beach, Tiddy found some rocks and a cave. He's very brave, and did a lot of climbing and exploring. I stayed on the beach and looked for shells.

Can you see Tiddy on top of the rocks. His flag was blowing in the wind. It's good that he doesn't have hair, or it would have been blowing in his eyes as it was so windy. I think he looks like an explorer.

While I was down on the sand, I decided to take this photo of Mr P taking a photo of Tiddy. It was getting dark then, so we decided to go home for some tea.




Love
Charlie x
