The day starts with a tea-break

A siege engine! What are they teaching you at this school?

• Saturday 24th November 2007 • A Grand Day Out in Birmingham •
I've got my ticket and I'm travelling 'First Class'
A lady with a trolley gave me some chocolate and orange biscuits
I looked out the window most of the way and waved, but nobody waved back
We're going quite fast!
I found a huge turkey in a shop window. It was pretending to be a lamp but I spotted it!
We were on the lookout for this stall - and we found it!
We walked all round the stalls and bought lots of goodies
This is me and Abiée trying to decide where to go for lunch. I want to go to Pizza Hut!
We had some mulled wine at the Frankfurt Market and it was served in a boot. I think that is funny!
These guys recognised me from another city they had visited, but they couldn't remember where!
Abiée wouldn't share her pizza when I'd eaten all of mine
I like the toy trains!
We went into Hamley's! You'll never get me out of here!
The big wheel stopped going round when I sat in it. Abiée said it was because my bottom is too big!
Please, please, please! Can I have a castle?
