We've just arrived in Leeds Villiage in Kent where Grandad Rakkar has his house. Grandma had already been here for 5 days after flying in from Australia. She got me some supplies for my stay here. Here's me and Grandad reading a story. I haven't seen Grandad since Christmas.

We're visiting Rochester Cathedral which is about 10 minutes drive from Grandad's house. Here's me and Grandma in the Cathedral's gardens. It was a lovely sunny day.

Me and Karin outside on their terrace. I was quite a sunny day so I'm squinting (where are my sunnies?). I accidentally got a bit of a tan that day!

I like Paul & Karin so much that's we've decided to form a band. Here's us practicing. I'm on drums because the guitar is too big for me! Rock on!

I love cherries! Here's me with Great Uncle Hanspeter and these cherries are from Dagmar & Hanspeter's cherry tree. I spent time in their garden today, picking strawberries and cherries. And Dagmar makes me laugh!

We're at Munsterplatz in the center of Freiburg. We're having lunch with Suzi, Grandma's other sister. Aunty Suzi gave me an icecream while we were there. I've never had an icecream before - it was yummy and I ate it all!

Grandma, Mummy and I went round the corner to feed the chickens. I saw them before through the fence, but they're much more interesting up close. They're very hungry but Mummy won't let me grab their feathers through the fence.

We're just arrived in Munich. It was a long drive but I was a good girl. Grandma was in the back with me, and Omi was in the front with Mummy. Here's me meeting Uncle Winfred. It was good to meet him, but to be honest, I was more interested in his fish tank!

Today we walked around Neufarhn and looked at all the shops. I was totally exhausted afterwards and fell asleep on my tummy (after rolling over). I must have been tired!

After my nap, what better way to celebrate that with some good Bavarian beer and dinner. This is one of Winfred's favourite beers.

I'm asleep on the lounge room floor. Dagmar and Hanspeter have an aquarium and it is quite hard work watching all those fish. I quite enjoy it, but I need to have a nap too.

What's this? Standing? If Dagmar holds me up then I can stand on my own two feet. I'm not quite sure about this standing business yet, though.

Wow! Horses are big -- they don't look this big in the book. I don't think I'll pat him though, in case he bites me like the Lamb did.
