On the 7th of February we were staying in a little village called Bishop Monkton. Located about 30minutes from York, it was such a beautiful little village. It was time for church and after extensive online research (mainly because it was almost impossible to find) we found the details of […]
Do You Wanna Build a Snowman? Snow in Scotland and Yorkshire
Well it has taken a while but we have finally seen some decent snow in a few places. We had our first decent snow in Pocklington (near York). We were staying at this lovely little cottage on a working organic farm called Low Callis Granary. After a day or two […]
My Birthday – Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour
22nd of Feb 2016 – Harry Potter London Tour: On my birthday Mum and Dad made me get in the car blind-folded. I had no idea where we were going. When they took the blindfold off I was so surprised. They took me to the Warner Brothers Harry Potter Studio […]
My Favourite TV Show – You’ve Been Framed
My favourite TV show in England is ‘You’ve Been Framed’. It is a funny show where people get hurt and do funny stuff. It is like ‘Australia’s Funniest Home Videos’. And I like it when people get hit in the willy. The best one I have seen is when a […]
Jorvik Viking Festival
Everything at the Jorvik Viking Festival was good. I did a little digging to find Viking treasures. I watched and played The Viking Game [edit from Mum – The game is called Hnefatafl]. It is a bit like chess, but there are attackers and defenders. But my most favourite thing […]
Doctor, Doctor Who? – The BBC Doctor Who Experience, Cardiff Bay

Tewkesbury Abbey: FrozenBury – Our Coldest Day So Far
Wednesday the 20th of January saw us venturing to see Tewksbury Abbey, and the surrounding area, with our cousins. This day just happened to be the coldest day we had experienced since leaving Australia. The world around us was frozen. It hadn’t snowed but everything was covered in such a thick layer […]
It’s Been a While! – Llandegla Fishery, North Wales
I’m so sorry that none of us has written any blog posts recently. There’s been a few reasons for this: It turns out internet throughout the UK is pretty patchy unless you are in a big city – and sometimes even then. When cottages or hotels/guest-houses advertise that they have […]
Gloucester Cathedral
Yesterday we went to Gloucester Cathedral. Gloucester Cathedral was used for parts of the Harry Potter movies. We found the Gryffindor common room, Professor Flitwick’s classroom and the great hall (we think it was the great hall anyway). We also found the hallway where Harry and Ron stood laughing at the […]
The Hills are Alive with the Sound of Worship: Hillsong London
In our continuing journey of visiting a new church each week and crossing more and more places off the All-Star Churches to Visit Before you Die list, we decided that being in London we had to go to Hillsong. We attended the central Hillsong campus located in the Dominion Theatre […]
