I love the Cartagena Bombero’s….

Our favourite baker in Cartagena- Davos

Sorry I haven’t been updating my blog.

January:- is a special month because it’s my birthday.We went bowling. We invited some of our friends, Iain Suella and Steve, caught a bus to the bowling alley which was faraway. I won one of the games as we had 2 rounds.  We had a curry for dinner which is my favourite. I had my haircut at a hairdressers as part of my birthday treats. I had long hair when I went in and came out with really short hair, see the photos.

The wind was very bad in January which made lots of rubbish come in, so we cleaned the water with a marinero(Pedro) because we didn’t want anything wrapped around our propeller. It was fun and he gave us a green ball for helping. Jessie and I pulled a bag out of the water and it had 2 little fish trapped in it.

Daddy and I went for a walk one day to the park near us and we saw some peacocks. I thought they were interesting. We then went into the town where there were bouncy castles. I went on one that was shaped like Mario. I had to climb through his mouth and he ate me as the mouth shut behind my feet. There were lots of other bouncy things which I went and got Jessica for so she could come and have fun too.

One weekend we were lucky enough to be invited on a friends boat, it’s a motor boat which is different to our boat. We went to Mazarron and had a sleepover on it. It was very fast but I still felt sick!.

At school we went to the town square for peace day. I had been practising on Thursdays but didn’t het chosen to be in the final line up as i was forgotten. We had to put on white gloves and sing the peace song. We had to do actions too. Mum and dad came to see us. After we went back to school we blew up the white gloves to make birds and decorated them.

We also were part of the carnival parade again. My class were policia, which is spanish for police. I had a hat, utility belt with; a gun, walkie talkie, handcuffs, notepad and pencil and a badge on my top. I also had policia printed on my back. It was good fun.

February:- it’s carnival time. Geoff came to see us off Magellan and he had dinner with us before coming to see the carnival with us. We made sure we had our coats this time as we got cold last year. We caught lots of sweets and had a nice time. It was nice to see Geoff too.

March:- we went to school camp again. It was on a Friday and Saturday this year. We caught the bus and went to the same place as last year. We slept in a tent with 4 of us and no teacher, it was great fun . We did zip wire, archery, singing and dancing and playing. I didn’t like the food much. We had a great time though.

Grandma and Grandy Noble came to see us for 2 weeks. We had a car and went lots of places with them. Luckily it was Easter holidays so we had no school. We went near to Mazarron and saw the big cannons \ guns. We even sat on them. There were some dark tunnels too which I went in. Jessie and I went up some thin steps and saw everyone from the balcony.  Another day we went into the mountains near Cerveza and saw the fruit trees in blossom, it was pretty. We stopped near the river and daddy, Jessica and I went under a waterfall. It was noisy.  We also went to the cemetery and whilst we were there we saw some painted pigeons. They were very colourful.

As we were getting ready to leave Cartagena at the beginning of April, we left school. It was really sad to say goodbye this time as we won’t be coming back. I made woven hearts and filled them with sweets for all my friends and paper flowers for all the teachers. I also made a boat for professor David. Mummy made chocolate brownies and cheese nibbles for everyone too. I was sad. My class have me a mug with all their names printed on it and a cuddly lion with a badge from the school. The teachers came to the boat to see where we live. It was very nice but senor virginia felt sick with the boat motion so they had to leave.

April

We made some new French friends and their names are Nolyne and Junswan. Jessica and I mostly played with them every day.We play things like dodgeball,volleyball,catch,balltag,tag,ghost tag. One day we saw a huge cuttlefish and a little one too. They also had dinner with us which was spaghetti Bolognese.The next day Jessica and I saw a bouncy castle. We went to it and found out it was babyish but there was music so we danced to it and bumped into the two girls again. It’s mummy’s birthday Jessica and I where at school so mummy did jobs. At about 8:00 Dave took us out to dinner.
