Buxton 2011: Days 1 and 2.

Here we are again back in Buxton! :)

I have been looking forward to this holiday for ages and kept asking Mummy and Daddy when we would be going, so I was so excited yesterday when they said that it was time to travel here.
After packing the last of our stuff including my toys (which took AGES as Mummy and Daddy were both very tired. Mummy had no excuse really though as she spent most of yesterday being a zombie!) we got in the car and set off!
The journey was pretty good thanks to Daddy's satnav (voiced by Brian Blessed) directing us around all the traffic jams and we got here in less than 3 1/2 hours! The flat we are staying in is HUGE - it has four bedrooms three of which are bigger than our living room at home!

I spent most of yesterday afternoon running around and exploring the flat with Mummy and Daddy and Grandma and Grandad who are staying with us. Mummy, Daddy and I also had a walk to the Pavillion gardens and I had a play in the play areas!
In the evening Grandma and Grandad looked after me while Mummy and Daddy went to see the G&S Opera Compamy perform Pirates, which was directed by their friend Gary. They thought the show was a very good mix of the traditional with nice new and funny touches - certainly a lot of 'inner bugs bunny' going on! The whole cast did very well, especially Mabel, who had taken on the part at the last minute, though Mummy did notice one unfortunate late entrance by Fredrick! After the show Mummy and Daddy went to the festival club to sing the pot luck Iolanthe and meet u with some of their friends.

Today I woke up really early so went out with Grandma and Grandad for a while in the morning while Mummy and Daddy went back to sleep! When they finally woke up we watched some CBeebies at the flat for a while untill Nanna, Grumps and Great-Nanna Harrowven came to see us. We all went to the pavillion gardens and I had another long play on the play areas, fed the ducks, went on the train, went on a trampoline, went on a ride and made a new friend when we shared a few rides in a 'jeep' while everyone finished off their icecreams! :) When we went back to the cottage we had a lay for a bit before Mummy, Daddy, Grandma and Grandad went to see Charles Court Opera's Cox and Box, Zoo and Trial.
Mummy and Daddy had seen their Cox and Box and Zoo before and thought they were just as good and funny as last time but the trial..............well the trial..........Mummy thought it was one of the weirdest and yet best trials she had ever seen and reckons that if she could persuade some of the kids at school to watch it then they would probably enjoy it a lot. I don't really want to give away too much here as it would spoil it for people who have not seen it, but Mummy says I can give hints, so I will just say Jerry Springerish, zany and Chav Angelina and leave it at that!

Can't wait to see what we do tomorrow! :)
