Busy weekend!!

We've been really busy since we got home - first of all with making me a new poncho out of the snazzy yarn we got in Rochester!!  It changes colour!!!

See?!!  It's brill!

Then this morning we got a package delivered!!!

It's a book written by Alexander MacKenzie Bear's Mum!!!
We're SOOO excited!!

Then later on, we got the bus to Brighton Station to meet someone off the train!  It was Arnty Bev!  And Arnty Vicky picked us up and drove us to her house!!  We saw this along the way!

And we saw this one as well!!!

We all sat down for a cuppa tea and a chat before heading into town to do some shopping!

Later on, we all stopped for a Gin and Tonic before dinner.  It was quite a large one and Andrea got a bit squiffy!!!  Not as squiffy as Arnty Bev though..... she was funny!!

Then we all went to Ashoka for a curry!  They do really good curries in there!

We got another drink too!

*Burp*

that wasn't me......!!

After we all stuffed our faces, it was time to go home.... but we're meeting up for breakfast tomorrow morning!!
Arnty Bev gave Andrea a jar of Portland Hunney!!!

Andrea also got a posh book about calligraphy - it'll teach her how to use those posh calligraphy pens that we got in Rochester last week!!!

 We got a big blue tote bag as well!!!

Then we bought some baklava!!!  YUMMMM!!!

And Arnty Bev also gave us loads of crafty stuff to use!!!
It's been brill this weekend!!!!

Beanie and Tango's Big Trip, Day Four

Today's our last day!!!  So we came down for our usual breakfast of weetabix and coffee!

And toast and jam!!!

Then we had to supervise the packing up of everything!!  We made sure nothing was left behind...

And then we dropped off the room key in reception, said goodbye and had a short walk down the road....

....to the train station!  We've had a lovely trip you know!  It was fun!

We had a window seat on the train and saw the cathedral spire!

And a glimpse of the castle too!

And a short while later, we were crossing the Thames again!

We're back in London now!!!

We quickly used the facilities....

And stopped at the cheese shop to get some nibbles!!

And then we got on another train back home!

We gave them a floppy disc!

Oh, there's Battersea Power Station over there!!!

And we're crossing the river again!
When we got to Clapham, some plonker decided to lock himself in a toilet and start smoking cigarettes.  That set off an alarm in the bit where the train driver sits and he wouldn't move the train until the Transport Police had taken away the plonker!!!!!  So we ended up being delayed for a while...... people who needed to get to Gatwick had to change trains!!!

Eventually we got going though.

The train driver told us when we finally got to Gatwick that we were now a fast service to Brighton, missing out about three stops, because we were now running late!!!

THAT SUITS US LOT!!!!!!

And here we are at Brighton!!!

We didn't have to wait long for a bus, either!

They got another floppy disc too!

And then it was just a short walk home.......
and we all fell into bed completely exhaustipated!!!!!!

Beanie and Tango's Big Trip, Day Three

We woke up this morning to glorious weather!!

We like it here!!!

After a cuppa tea, we went down to breakfast.  We had weetabix and a cup of coffee

And then some toast and jam!

Later on, we went outside to Catch Some Rays..... I fell asleep for a bit only to be woken up by a doggie shouting.  Andrea then said hang on, we're meeting a doggie today, I wonder if that's the doggie?  We all got up to have a look and it was!!!  Barley had arrived with her mummy Sally in a black Mini car with the roof down!!!

They drove us to a lovely nature place called Capthorne (I think!) and we were going for a Big Walk!

First Barley had a good ol' drink of water before we set off.

And then me and Barley hitched a ride in the backpack up the hill.  Andrea and Sally had to walk!
Well that's fair - we have shorter legs.

We went past a big lake too!  It's ever so pretty down here!!!

Half way round we stopped for photographs!!!  Barley was ever so nice - all she did was sniff Tango a bit and that was it!!!

We like Barley!!!!  She's lovely!!!

After a really long walk, Sally and Barley drove us back to Rochester and dropped us off here.  That's her black car disappearing at the end of the road!

We're going this way to the High Street!

We decided to go here first because we were starving hungry!

We got a fizzy drink.....

.....and a pizza!!!  YUMMY!

Then we went off to use the facilities before heading off shopping.

They've got a really fun art shop on the High Street that also has some really funky yarns, so we got some!!!  We might be getting new sweaters soon!!

We saw this beamed house again!!

And found some interesting tiles on the outside of a shop!

Then we headed back to the hotel leaving a CD on this railing.....

......and a floppy disc on this railing!!

And we made it back!!!

That's today's shopping!

We stopped for a cuppa tea before dinner....

....down at the bar!  We got another small beer!!!

And we had a chicken-with-bacon-and-cheese-and-BBQ-sauce thing with lattice chips and onion rings.  The chicken thing looks a bit like a dogs dinner but it tasted OK...... not as nice as the curry the night before, but then it only cost a tenner and it was cooked properly and we've had a fab day out so we can't complain!!!

We got some chocolate raisins to take back to our room, and had them for pudding whilst watching telly!!

We're exhausted!!!
