Skateboarding n' Surf

On Saturday we went out for a walk .. and bumped into Roderick on the Paseo... So we hung out for the day first off we went for a skateboarded ...

                                                                I'm getting better :)

Then, in the afternoon we went with Roderick's dad, Barry for a surf. I've only been on the boogie board before .. so it was a whole new thing being with a board. It was fun, but a bit scary. Do you know though, the water was really quite warm and it's January!!!

Starting out .. see Roderick in the distance	.. getting ready ..
OK .. I know it's only a small wave .. but it was all about technique!!!	Whew!  Landed safely!

While I was surfing (I actually got up on my knees in the end ..) We saw a dog surfing!! It was so funny.    We had such a good day.  

Roderick wating for a wave .. passed by a dog!

And off they went into the sunset

Homework

After riding me and Roderick would have to do our homework.  But Troy was at Art classes in La Peña .. so instead of going all the way home.  We did our work by the beach until the sun went down!  Tough eh?

hmmm Roderick working and me...?	This is actually the moon rising!

Birthday

I've never really had a party. Because my birthday is in September, we were always either just leaving Spain, just arriving in England or just starting school....but really I was too shy ;) ..   

But this year was special.. no longer really really shy (but still a bit) .. We decided to have a party to make up for all the ones I missed.    It was very hard as I could only have seven friends.  ( there were a special few I wished I could have had....  Millie and Tom Tom especially .. xxx ) 

OH MY DAYZ!  

Then the surprise arrived!  We spied it from the Balcony!	Grannie Mo' and mummy gave us the best ever surprise!   A pink Limo ... to a Posh Girls Tea party
Troy SO did NOT want to come. All those girls!  So he decided to go with Zena for guy time with Jacques!	.. but Jac had other ideas.  He 'crashed' the party to be with 'his girl' Hayley.  The only boy!  Que hombre!

Inside the Limo.  Cheers Hayley	Mum came too
Then we started to get crazy!	.... and climb everywhere!
Sophia was busy being a 'top fashion girl' .. so she told us!	We were busy just being girls ..

The limo brought us passed Buckingham Place, Trafalgar Square and then just close to BigBen, where all the government sits.   We then parked at the Royal Horseguards Hotel for afternoon tea! 

The chicas and Jacques go forth!	We had a very pretty table
Emma and Amy	Liliah and Sophia
Happy Birthday to me .. can you see the plates of cakes! mmm	We were very very full after all that!

Thank you my lovely lovely friends for being with me on such a special day.  I'll miss you when we are in Spain.  But you're in my heart and I hope you'll come play in the sunshine with me one day. 

Lucia's Birthday in the Pinos

We had just got off the plane, just arrived .. opened the shutters in the apartment and saw our friend Maria outside the window with her mum.  She told us there was a party for Lucia's birthday .. so we found our swimsuits and set right out for the beach to see them all.  What a way to start our holiday.  Yeayyy.   Happy Birthday Lucia

Cumpliaños Feliz Lucia	Don't try to look like you're not eating all the Cheezy's!
Lucia, Hayley, Melitsa, Maria	Maria and Hayley

Skateboarding ..

We have a huge skateboarding park under the Westway just near us.  The westway is a massive motorway.   My teacher is Gary, who's really cool.  Today the sun was shining so I just played outside our house.
