Ciao!



I know! 2 entries in a week! I am getting better at typing now so its good to practise.
This weekend I went to visit Auntie Susie and her restaurant in Italy (4th country in as many months!)


It was great! I got hugged and played with and gooooed at all the time! Mami and Papi were there also. It was nice to see them again.
Auntie Susie bought me a lovely new coat for the winter as well as some socks. I also have discovered something called Shampain .... looks yummy!


I also met a mad Italian Chef called "Benny" ... kept kissing me all the time .... but his food is delicious! Looking forward to going there at Christmas so I can throw it all over the restaurant.


We also went to see Auntie Susies new house. I think it is a bit drafty and needs some decorating myself.


Daddy played his guitar in a place called Forli (pronounced Four Lee) ... he's been invited back so he must have played better than the last time I heard him.
Well, enjoy the pictures and will blog soon.


Love
Benjmain


PS No PS today ... I am content with life

Hello everybody!!!

Phew! Its been a long time but I think I would crash blogspot if I mentioned everything I have been up to.


Mummy and Daddy have been working hard to get the appartment nice and tidy for me so that in a couple of months time I can destroy it once I start crawling. Have discovered how to twist and turn my neck and roll over on my play mat ... Daddys CDs are closer now! He spent about a week getting them all into alphabetical/cronicialogical ...logically cronic ... order of release. It'll take me about 5 minutes to revert them to the original state .... Whoo ha ha ha!!!


We visted Papi and Mami last month at their very nice house in Sauliac. They had a big blue wobbley thing that confused me somewhat, however it wasnt as big as the big blue wobbley thing I dipped my toes in the other week .... that one was warmer. There was also a party in my honour which was very very nice, however I was sent to bed when the food arrived!! That was a bit of a buggar! I also spent the day with PApi and Mami. This was really nice. Daddy and Mummy had a lovely day out on their own. They went to a place called "Conk" but spelt "Conques"


On the way back from theirs we went over a bridge called "Meo" spelt "Millau" Bridge ... It looked amazing. Very Big! Daddy got scared going over it ... silly man.



We headed over to somewhere called the "UK" last month. This is somewhere else I hadn't been. It rains there .... a lot. I thought it would warm up at some point. I only wear shorts and singlets here. I wished I had packed my woolly jumper and raincoat. We visited my Granddad for the first time, It was great fun to see him. I also got to meet granny2 as well. Photos are below. We visited a place called "Nu Casle" but spelt "Newcastle", "Hexam" but spelt "Hexham", "Manchester" but spelt "DarkRainyPlace" and "Chef Field" but Spelt "EvenDarkerRainyPlace".


Tke care eveyone, hope you've enjoyed the photos ...
