ENGLAND

We drove to Falkirk, Scotland in our rental car.  We were going to Falkirk to see Mum's friend Violet.  We went on a walk to see the Kelpies, a Kelpie is a mythological water spirit from Scottish story tales.  It is often appears as a horse that lives in the water but it is not a nice spirit, it can make a flood to sweep people away.  But the Kelpies we saw were not real they were collossal metal horse heads made by an artist called Andy Scott from Glasgow. They are 30m high.  I thought they were stupendous!  I peeked through a gap in one of the Kelpies and saw a lift that went up into the Kelpie's head.  It was closed but I wish I could have gone up there.
The next day we drove to another friend's house who had 3 dogs, 4 cats and 3 ponies.  The house was in a beautiful village called Tetney in England.  On the road to her house we saw 5 peacocks coming out of a driveway.  It was really funny because our friend had told us that she had peacocks this morning in her garden. We went for a walk with the 3 dogs, Tattie, Bear and Jasper AND the pony Tinkerbella!  The next day we went to an outside pool and it was at a campsite area.  We stayed in the pool for the whole day. That night for dinner we went out for fish and chips and went to the seaside to eat them.  We played arcade games afterwards which was so much fun!
Our last stop was to go and see Mum's friend Karen whose daughter had a baby who was only 2 weeks old.  Her name was Avelaina.  She just cried and slept.  Karen cooked a really nice scrumptious curry.  The next day we went for a walk at the country park.  There were heaps of ducks and swans that were swimming in the man made lake.  Then we went to play on the playground which had an enormous swing.  After that we went on a huge walk right around the colossal lake.
I thought England was much warmer than Scotland and the people had a different accent.
