England springs forward 2012.



Tonight in England the clocks spring forward. I will have to say I love spring in England. There is nothing like the wonderful colours of spring and hearing the lambs and chicks. It is a sign that the long winter days are perhaps out of sight for a few months. I saw this article on BBC and I thought I would share it.
I lived near Cromer as a child and the old deck chair, just brings backs happy memories of seeing grand dad's with the old handkerchief tied at each corner placed on their heads, to keep the sun away from them.
Be adventurous if you are in England drive and see those amazing spring colours because I have not seen anything like it.

Prime minister plays angry birds and much more from England.




This week what has got my attention well America is now on Spring time. Most Americans do not know what Mothering Sunday and is nor want to know. I saw that England is hosting the first International Bagpipes day. Can you believe it that there are one hundred and thirty bagpipes.

I will have to say I like the bagpipes.
I found this report by Kate Holmes very interesting. How cool for her to have been that close to the sun.

On a more funny note. Many children love angry bird and the games. Well they are not alone, as we found out that our Prime Minister often plays angry Bird.

Also we have our first teen Poet Laureate

Congrats to Will Portsmouth may he inspire other young people to write.
So to conclude this week in England parents it is ok for your kids to be playing angry bird, look where it might get them perhaps to 10 Downing street like our own Prime Minister. Keep playing those blades of grass in your garden perhaps there will be a blade of grass blowing day just like the bagpipes day and lastly parents let your kids write on the corner of papers poems you never know your toddler may be the next poet Laureate.

London's Olympics






Recently, London, England, is getting prepared for Olympics 2012.
While London is getting into the spirit of fun, some of the people are reuniting with their old Olympic chums. Though some have decided to retire, I am sure this Olympics is going to be a good one. It is in London, that has to count for something.
Here are some pictures of the up-and-coming event of Olympics 2012.
Please Enjoy.
