Forgger's Arrival in the UK !!

Well i have finally arrived here in the UK! i must say the parsel my family sent me in was very cosy but i was glad to get out of it and into the fresh air. when i finally escaped there were 4 perculiar looking faces staring at me and looking in my logbook and smiling at my stamp. i then realised that this must be my host family! they introduced them selves (Yorkshire Ladybird, Mum, JorvikLB and LNER Express, younger letterboxers and Dad, a non-letterboxer as he doesn't really see the point. tut tut.)



Soon after arriving, JorvikLB suggested to me that we try and find the letterbox out in the garden if i felt up to it. of course i jumped to the chance of finding my first english letterbox! we followed the first part of the clue and went to visit henry the hedgehog. he was a very happy little chap, and made me promise to come back and visit him soon!



we then made our way to the chimney mentioned in the clue. there was a lovely lavender plant growing out of the top, and
JorvikLB took a lovely picture of me smeilling the lovely sweet scent it gave off!















she gave me a hand to tip it up and i peered inside! it
was a bit dark under there, but the letterbox was stood happily in the middle!


we took the box into the conservatory as there was a good
table in there, and got out all we needed to do the stamping in! looking through the logbook i noticed a stamp that said underneath he was called Wallace and was a boxing buddy. i was a little confused as JorvikLb had told me earlier that i was the first Boxing Buddy they were to host. i then found out it was Wallace, JorvikLb's PERSONAL Boxing Buddy. he stayed and boxed with her and didn't go and explore different areas!



the next day i had the urge to go letterboxing, but JorvikLB was going to escrick park to do some cross country riding. so i stuck with LNER Express and let him show me his trainset.
the day after that it was pourig with rain. i would have loved to go out in it, but JorvikLB and her family were not too keen so to make up for it JorvikLB gave me a hint by showing me a page on Atlas Quest. it was her Personal Traveler, so i asked her if i could see it. here i am stamping into it and writing my little message.

Frogger is home!

I arrived home on July 12th. I brought home Blackberry Patch's Boxing Buddy Flat Buddy with me so that my family can take him on some adventures with them for a few weeks :)

I sure had a lot of fun with Blackberry Patch. I came home with a couple post cards, brochure and a flat penny :) My family all laughed at the brochure because 'dad' always grabs brochures when they travel, so we joked with him that since they couldn't go to Downtown Disney I brought him back a brochure LOL

I'm going to rest for a few more days and then my family tells me that I will be heading to the UK!! WOW, I'm really excited to be traveling to another country!!!

On Our Way to Louisiana


Boy we have been so busy here in Florida and now it is time to say goodbye to the land of Mickey Mouse and head back home.

Here I am taking a nice rest before I hop back to my host's home - Blackberry Patch - she lives in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

We loved these daisies found near the Disney Marketplace.
Here I am on the road again!







































Here we are at the MS welcome center! Almost home!Here I am calling Blackberry's family to let the know I am nearly there!
So that is the end of our journey from Baton Rouge,Louisiana, over and out!

Frogger meets Sits and Knits

Here we are as I promised at Downtown Disney Marketplace with Sits N Knits! We were able to find her WOM box called, "Santa's Helper Hitchhiker Hostel", we also left a HH for the Hostel!
Above you can see I am posing with Sits N Knits!

W walked around the marketplace a bit, and found several interesting items!
First we found a wonderful spot to rest by this Mickey Mouse piece of art. We found it in the Art of Disney store.
Here we met some of the brooms from The Sorcerer's Apprentice with Mickey in the cartoon below!
