Reasons To Celebrate - Part One

Hello!

Only got time for a small post this time, as I'm busy rushing around as fast as my little legs will carry me, as I'm a very hectic kitten at the moment.

Anyway, as the title says - Reasons to Celebrate.
In the hotel where Simon and I stayed, every day at 3pm they did a General Knowledge quiz with chances to win prizes.
So naturally being the intellectuals we are, we went down to have a try, and believe it or not - we won! Yahooooooo!!! As a Eurovision group would sing - WE ARE THE WINNERS! WE ARE THE WINNERS!!!

And we won a certificate and a bottle of champagne, here's a picture of me with the champagne.

I wanted to have a glass of it, but Simon said no as he reckons I'm too young to drink! But he said he'll save for later and might let me have a taste another time!

The bottle was too heavy for me to lift, and unfortunately it well on top of me, but the way I fell backwards, it looks as if I was drunk anyway, so I'm going to claim from now on that I did drink while on holiday - so there!

Well, that's all I've time to write this time, I need to go and wrap a present, as it's a special occasion here in a couple of days. So come back and log on later in the week and I'll tell you all about it!

Bye!

Tom.

Trip to the beach

Hello again!

It's me again! When I left off my blog last time, I had just arrived in Torquay and had unpacked and explored the hotel.
Well, the following day after a good long catnap I was taken to the beach, and as you can see in the picture above, there I am relaxing on the beach. I had to by some sunglasses because it was such a hot day, but they didn't have my size so I had to buy the best I could. I think they might have been a bit too big!

What was good was, the area of the beach we were in there were no dogs allowed which was good because I wouldn't have wanted a nasty dog chasing after me!

There were quite a few different things to do around the beach like...

Riding in a pedalo!

Then I discovered how much fun you can have hiding in Simon's rucksack! Eeeee!!

Afterwards I went explored the beach and did a bit of climbing over rocks, but didn't go too far as there was some quite big holes and I thought I might fall down one if I wasn't careful!

Whilst exploring the beach, I discovered a seasnail which I felt sorry for, as it was going so slowly down to the sea. I just had to pick it up in my paws and carry it down to the sea, even though it was very slimy and slippery. Needless to say, I trotted down with the seasnail as fast my little legs would carry me.

I let it go and just as it was setting off on it's travels, as huge wave came along (of which I narrowly avoided I must add!) and washed the poor thing back up on the beach. Oh well, I suppose it's life to a seasnail.

Soon, it was time to go back to the hotel for the evening meal, but not before I had one last look at the sea!

That's it for this time! Bye!

My arrival in Torquay!

Hello friends!

Me again! I got Simon to put the photos from our expodition to Torquay this morning so I can start telling you about it on my new blog! The photos are brilliant so I can't wait to show them.

As Julie Andrews once said 'Let's start at the very beginning, because that is a very good place to start!' (See, I'm an intellectual kitten!)

So first of all, we arrived at our hotel at about 2pm in the afternoon, we checked and went to find our room. My goodness, it took us ages! We had to go through corridor after corridor to find it, I thought they were going to kick out the back of the hotel! No wonder my little legs were exhausted when we got to the room.

It was quite big for a small kitten of my size! Naturally, the first task was find the right bed for sleeping in during my stay. So in turn I tried out each of the bedsThe first one was too big!

The second bed was medium sized but still too big for me.

The third bed was a bunk bed, and it was just the right size for me!

After testing out the beds, it was time to unpack my suitcase. I have lots of clothes to wear. They're all in my favourite colour - blue.

Before Simon had finished packing, I had scampered off to explore the hotel, I was dying to use the swimming pool, but I couldn't take any photos there due to some silly cat protection act or something like that.

I will tell you more about my holiday in the next post so check back soon!

Tom.

Introduction

Hello There!

My name is Tom Kitten, although I expect you probably knew that already! Anyway, I've just finished being taught how to use the internet by my friend Simon. I still need to get to grips with the keyboard though as sometimes my paws hit two keys instead of one sometimes.

I thought to myself now that I understand computers and stuff, what shall I do, and I thought this blogging sort of thing seems to be quite popular so I thought to myself that I would try and make a blog, so with help from Simon, here's the result. My very own bit of space on the world wide web. You can't imagine how pleased I am, I feel like jumping up and down in excitement about it all.

The picture you see above is of me when I went to visit Hilltop, in the Lake District. The house used to belong to a very nice lady called Beatrix Potter, who wrote my biography. You may have read it. There's a picture of it on the right. The house is now owned by The National Trust and it was good seeing all the places in the house and nearby from when I visited her before.

My friend Simon takes me to lots of places, I've travelled all around the world, to places including Canada, Austria and France too, but unfortunately I didn't have my camera at the time so couldn't take any photos.

However, I have a brand new digital camera, and with Simon's help I took photos on our recent expodition to Torquay in South Devon, so soon I shall be getting Simon to help me put them on here for you all to see.

I can't think of anything else to write for now, but please come back and visit this page again, as you never know - I might be let loose somewhere near you!

Bye for now,

Tom.
