“Aye e’s a bonny lad.” That’s what they kept saying to me when we were up in Yorkshire. This was my first holiday and I loved it. We stayed in a forest just outside York. There were lots of new places to visit. I went to the Castle Museum in York and went on a steam train at Goathland which is where they filmed Heartbeat and Harry Potter. We went shopping and I saw what I want for Christmas.

I have also been to Windsor and visited the Castle. I had picture taken with a very important looking man, but no sign of the Queen. (She can't have known I was coming.)

I am really getting the hang of mud now… when SHE is not looking I jump in and roll about in it, then come out and shake all over her. You should hear the screams, great fun.

I am getting bigger and stronger all the time. I am so big now that they had to buy a bigger car to fit me in!

They keep talking in hushed voices about it being time for me to “have the snip”. I don’t understand. What is so secret about me needing my haircut?
