Tom's Harvest

Look at all that yummy food above!!!

It's not all for me unfortunately. It's Harvest Festival at the church where Simon goes, and so I tagged along to see what it was all about. Apparently people donate food to be shared amongst the local community which I find is quite nice.

So I had an explore and see what was in all the boxes before they were taken away to be distributed.



And then afterwards I got introduced to Rev Dave, who is the minister for the church, so I got a hug from him before he introduced me to the baby in the picture who apparently had just survived having meningitis which really really surprised me!!!


Finally, apologies for again there being a long time between posts but Simon's been busy still with college work, or so he says. He told me he was down town last week apparently doing filming for this music video he's making. He said that he had just set up the camera on the tripod and stuff when the heavens opened and he said he and his friend nearly got drowned in all the rain. He did look a mess when he returned so it must have been true. How my little tummy rippled with laughter though. I don't think he was very amused about it though.

Anyway, according to Simon he finishes for half-term tomorrow, lucky thing having 12 days off! But he says he'll spend more time helping me with my blog so expect to see a lot more of my blog next as I continue telling you about my adventures in Torquay, you'll get to see all the photos I took with my digital camera at a sea world place where there's seals and penguins and stuff. So tune in for that!!

Until then, take care!

Reasons To Celebrate - Part Two

Hello once again fellow bloggers!

Tom here once again. I've managed to convince Simon away from his huuuuggggeeee amount of college work which prevented him from helping me with my blog the past week. He's apparently planning to film a music video project with some friends of his. I'm a bit miffed though because he hasn't included me in the video! Grrr.

Anyway, that wasn't the point of this blog. The point is the second reason to celebrate. As you can see in the picture above, there's me, and Simon and the awe and wonderment that is CAKE!

This was because last Wednesday, Simon reached a milestone in his life - he became 18! So he's now a man! I keep teasing him about him being old but I don't think he likes it much! I think he's trying to get back at me though by gloating about all the things he can do now that I can't do. It's not fair, I've got to wait another 8 years until I'm as old as he is!

Anyway, we had fun celebrating his birthday. He told me all the exciting things that happened to him at college, including having his first legal drink. Note to self - never try lager!

In the evening we cut the cake and I had a piece of it but it was very messy and ended up with very sticky paws.

Simon also opened the champagne bottle that we won while in Torquay, and I was allowed to try some. Here's a pic of me with the champagne.

And here's me giving it a sniff before I tasted it. I'm not sure if I liked it.

But I think I had a little bit too much!

Simon wasn't the only one to get presents on his birthday though, because a nice couple that Simon knows had seen my blog and had brought me a lovely rucksack which I can take with me on all my adventures.

Well, that's it for this time, I've got another recent event to post about here soon, and then I shall return to telling you about my Torquay adventure!

Tom.
