We have to wake up early as we are catching a train to LONDON!!!!!!!!
We have to catch the 8.21 train. When we get on it's not very busy. We have to get off the train at London Victoria! We then walk past Big Ben and Westminster. We gat to the London eye at about 10 just after it starts moving. We get the tickets and before we get on we watch a 4d movie all about the London Eye. Then we start queing we only have to wait 10mins till we get on. It was amazing you can see all over. After that we went to the Aquarium and we spent at least an hour in there as it was so facsinating! After taking a bus to Trafalgar Square then we walk to St. James' Park, eat lunch and then we go and see Buckingham Palace and Clarence House!! Well I am already so exhausted but we we get a bus to Baker Street to go to Madame Tussauds. We had bought the tickets at the aquarium as a combo ticketn so we didnt have to wait that long!! It was way too crowded but oh well life is full of difficulties. We where so scared when we both went in The Chamber Of Horrors and Scream! End up in Covent Garden and see a street entainer do loads of tricks on a tightrope. At 5 we went to Cafe Rouge to have Mussel for dinner. It was amazing. Then we catch the 7:05 train home.

Today I woke up at 8.15ish. Nanny goes to her hair appointment at 9. Then after an hour me and Granddad go to meet her in town. We walked around the market looking at all the lushious fruit and veg, and all the antiques. Then we went in this sweet shop called SweetScene. It was amazing! Nanny and Granddad both got ginger ice-creams while I bought some sweets for Sunday.After that we went in this shop called Macknades where they do nearly everything. We went in there to get parmesan but came out with much more. well at the end of that outing i came back with sweets and a Mary Poppins dvd. At aboutn 6 me and Nan played 3 games of Rummy Club (I won 2 out of 3 games! Yay!).I then start to help Grandad make Chicken Schnitzel for dinner.

Annual Gloucestershire Cheeserolling at Cooper's Hill!!
Yesterday my family, Tom, Annie, over 10,000 crazy spectators and I all went to just on the border of Gloucester to view the annual spectacle that is Cheese rolling. We left home at 11:00am, popped round to Tom's house to drop off some camera equipment. From Tom's house we headed towards Gloucester for what would have been about an hours trip, but unfortunately there was an unbelievable amount of traffic due to the sudden rush of people heading to this traditional event. We sat in the jam watching some funny people go by, as we sat there in the car eating party rings and chilli heatwave doritos, like a group of four “twenty somethings” in a tiny classic mini cooper with a broken front door that kept swinging open and a guy with dreadlocks so long that they went all the way down under his hoodie to the midle of his upper leg =0.
We eventually managed to ditch the car just off the motorway on the side of the road, which we later found out was just over three miles away from Cooper's Hill!! When we got there we where just in time as a race was just about to start. Which was lucky as a crazed man attempted to run down the hill in a Borat mankini. After this race we tried our hardest to locate Rebecca and Lew who were supposed to meet us there. We found out later that their phones had run out of battery as they were taking too many photos of the cheese rolling, so we couldnt find them in the end!: ] click here to visit the official cheese rolling site click here to see the highlights of the event After the last race we headed towards the cars (another 3 miles, phew!) and we went into Cheltenham to have some food at the Rising Sun Pub. It had fantastic views over Gloucestershire. We could see all the way to Wales! Then we headed towards the Spotted Dog in Digbeth (Birmingham) for the Rhubarb Radio meeting. Whilst the grownups had their meeting James and I played blackjack and rummy and the nice lady behind the bar kept topping up our drinks and even gave us some chocolates. = ]! = 0! Towards the middle of the meeting a variety of aged people turned up for their weekly rehearsal of Irish folk music, this provided a different musical atmosphere to the meeting (but it was hard to talk over)! Mum did an audioboo for you to listen to.
When the meeting was over and nearly everyone had left we went outside into the beer garden. Danny (@probablydrunk) and me where pretending to have a fight but he was telling me what to do with my fists to protect myself! While he was helping me protect my face he should have been protecting his belly, because I sucker punched him!!! Then my family (@dahiggs), Michael (@citizensheep) and Shona (@graphiquillan) all went back inside to chat about WxWM and Moseley Barcamp. While Mum (@gabysslave) was talking politics with Michael I was talking to Shona about my ideas for the kids activities at Moseley Barcamp. “The children's committee” will be meeting some time this week to share and produce the ideas.
4am Project 4th April 2009
Today my mum , dad , brother and I went to The Bullring in Brum (Birmingham). We had to get up at 3 am to get ready because we live so far away , in Bromsgrove! Brrr! It was so cold and because I am too short, I have to use a booster seat and it's plastic so imagine how cold it got. When we got there we were met by about 30 or so people. We met at the Bull! It was interesting to see the variation of ages , there were even some other children there. Then we walked down to Birmingham New Street, where we met Karen Strunks who organised the 4am Project. We had terrific access to the station so we took a variety of photos in and around it. Then we headed to wholesale market were they sell the Fruit and Veg to supermarkets and restaurants. We smelt some different smells today the veg smelt pungent and strong but the fruit smelt fragrant like the flowers. After that we went to the cafe where the market workers have their meals. I had a Hot Chocolate and helped my dad finish his brekkie. I had a fab time and found out what 4am is like . I hope you like the pics. They are in my mums Flickr: http://twurl.nl/8isqok Signing off for the day. Gaby x
