day 251 to 254 nans birthday

day 251

back from my trip abroad, i return home to my family visiting me in londontown, for my nan's birthday. i give her a pressie i got from disney (an xmas tree decoration) and then we head to buckingham palace for its open day to tour the state rooms and see the wedding dress kate middleton aka prince william's new wifey wore for her wedding. it was really good and bit surreal walking round the palace.we then went to the new westfield stratford which was mega busy but nice. it had a forever 21, which made me very happy. so not much time for doodles, shall make up tomorrow when i have more time!

day 247-250 our trip to disneyland paris

disneyland wooo!
day 247
the day before was packing and then a trip on the eurostar to paris!i'm gonna write a bit then put all four days drawings up one after the other!
a long journey and lots of tv shows later we arrive at the hotel where we can see the earful tower in disney from our hotel window :D then we head straight off on the train into central paris for dinner and drinks which is lovely but the usual 'no veggie food' in paris prevails and i end up with a very plain risotto. the next dya we are up and out early as we have a free shuttle to disneyland and an early entry pass woo!did i mention this week is like the hottest of the year so it is boiling hot for a late september holiday!after getting and going straight on space mountain 2, which is insane we head round the park acting the tourists!loved the runaway train the best, think its the best one at any of the disneyland parks. we manage to get round a lot of the park and then head in the sister park walt disney studios and go on the tower of terror which is awesome as always!after heading out into downtown disney for a well deserved beer at the end of the day.
the next day we head into paris and go up the eiffel tower.i say go up, we actually walked up!at least til the 2nd floor then got the lift to the very top.its strange to think the last time i came here was 10 years ago on our last school trip before we left school. time does fly! we then went to the catacoombes which was amazing, loads and loads of dead bodies all under the paris streets in creepy dim tunnells!horror movie stuff indeed! we then wandered round the city til late.the next day was another day in disneyland and we got on everthing we missed on the other day. i managed to buy myself a lovely new yoda stitch teddy and some pins for the collection :) then we sadly had to make our way back to the eurostar.all in all a great break!

tired bjarni!a very stereotypical french guy!a yappy french doggie and dale from the rescue rangers!



well well well if it isn't simon pig!a more realistic version of him. he came with us on our trip and enjoyed disneyland immensly. he oinked in my ear he wants to go to the florida or LA version next!

day 243
discussing kittens with bjarni as the internet is so full of cute kitties and he said his old cat was called 'mausley' which i thought was how it was said and spelt but in fact its more like meowsay!so here is a quickie of the diddums!
