Book update

After a few days of reading "Northern Lights", again, as I do, I got bored of it and now I haven't been reading for days. Also a few weeks ago, my sister, Charlotte, turned up with a signed book called "The Hippochronus", a book about a time machine. She met the author and got a signed copy for me... she also met the dog in the book! Also, amazingly, it's set in my home region of Tyne and Wear in the North East of England! But again, I got bored quickly, not that I'm trying to be rude or ungrateful, I just, well, get bored! I'll keep you posted!

Books!

Last year, I was in Scotland, looking in a Waterstone's (book shop) at the teen fiction section and I came across 'The Hunger Games'. I had heard of this, but never really took an interest. Anyway, I decided to buy it, thinking I would enjoy it. From the first page onward, I was gripped by the fast-paced, exciting story, I couldn't put the book down!
A little while later, I was out with my sister, and we were in Waterstone's, this time in England. I asked if I could get the next two Hunger Games books, so she bought them. I eventually finished the second one just after Christmas. But then, I couldn't really get into the 3rd, and I had another book to read, the first of three, that my brother Robin had got me for Christmas. This book is the first book in the series 'His Dark Materials' by Phillip Pullman, 'Northern Lights'. About a week ago, I decided to stick to this, instead of 'Mockingjay', the 3rd Hunger Games book. I found that I had made a good choice, as this book is amazing! I thoroughly recommend both series' of books, I'm sure any avid readers would enjoy them! I really hope you do read them, comment if you have already read them or are going to buy them!
I'll keep you posted!

Merry Christmas!

With Christmas fast approaching, I thought that I would post about it.
Hopefully this yuletide will be happy for all of us, especially because people strongly believe that the world will end in the next few days.
As a sane, normal person I do not believe this, but some people do! I mean, it can't end this year, because in my fridge, I have a yoghurt that doesn't expire til next year!
Anyway, what do you like about Christmas? I like the atmosphere, the feeling when you're surrounded by family, talking and laughing. Eating loads of food, listening to music, sending carol singers away from your door before you hit them, what a wonderful time!
Please leave comments, tell me what you want for Christmas, what you like about Christmas, and have a very Merry Christmas! Ebenezer, get lost, you don't have to read this.
One more thing... I'm sure you can guess, Bye!
 

Summer in Scotland

In my last blog post I mentioned about starting the book in Scotland. I then said that that was another story.
Well, now I will tell that other story.
My mum and my brother, Daniel, love to climb mountains, my brother, particularly in Scotland.
The majority of the Scottish highlands are called the "Munros". If you read my brother's blog then you will learn all about these mountains. I sometimes go with them both and we will take the day in our stride, quite literally.
Our days out venture from Snowdonia in Wales to the Lake district in northwest England to the Scottish highlands, undoubtedly in Scotland.
Anyway, back to the holiday trip in Scotland. We started at a campsite quite high up in Scotland. It was quite small complete with wide open grassy areas and a beautiful river through a small woodland. We made a few friends here while we were there, including a family, of which one member looked like Boris Johnson (mayor of London). They also had two dogs- a huge, fluffy German shepherd of which I forget the name, and a sheepdog called Abby.
We walked up a few mountains and visited a few small towns. On the third day (i think) there, we said goodbye to my brother as he went home on the train. We also said goodbye to the lovely little campsite, goodbye to Roy (Boris Johnson lookalike) and Abby the dog.
After we left, we set off for the caravan site( mentioned in my last post). At this caravan site, we stayed two days and it was quite small. At one point I ran into a tree and a branch went straight into my eye.
This was quite painful and there was blood everywhere. I won't go into too much detail for all the squeamish. A kind, elderly lady took me into her cabin and fixed me up with some cotton wool and water.
She walked me back to my caravan, with a patch over my eye.
Afterwards I was fine, and to this day, there remains a scar across my left eyelid.
So that's pretty much it, my Highland holiday, summed up in one block of text, I hope you enjoyed this slightly longer post. Now, there is only one more thing for me to say...
I'll keep you posted!

My latest book

I'm sure that you already know I do have aspirations to follow in the footsteps of some of the greats, J.K. Rowling, Anthony Horowitz, Roald Dahl, and my next work in progress is called "Footsteps in the snow", but enough about feet.
A short while ago, in August, I visited Scotland with my mum, sister and Brother, Daniel. We visit Scotland quite a lot, but that is not what this post is about. Near the end of our holiday there, we went to a caravan site. We got there, and the place was lovely, complete with a tiny river running along one side of it. I set to work on writing a new book.
This book was about a man called Michael, who leaves for a work conference in Cornwall (England).
It's the middle of a very harsh winter and the train tracks are icy, and very dangerous, the train crashes.
The whole book is about an amazing journey of an ordinary man, who's life is changed forever...

Hopefully one day my book will be published and will be a great success, until then, I'll keep you posted...

Long time no posts

Hello readers, I know, I haven't written any posts in quite a while and you're probably getting bored of reading the same posts all the time, so I thought I would write something. I do have an idea of what I will next post about, but obviously I'm not going to tell you what that certain thing is because that would ruin my next post. Also, if you have anything you would like me to post about, you can always leave a comment... and as always... I'll keep you posted!

Frankie the robin chick...

Today, my cat was playing with something on the grass, so I went outside to investigate and I realized it was a tiny baby bird that had fallen out of it's nest in a large tree in the garden. I scooped him up in my hand and took him inside where I placed him in a box with kitchen roll and leaves where he could feel at home. Me and my sister agreed upon the name 'Frankie' for this little bird. my brother, robin said it was either a robin, funnily enough, or some kind of thrush. I thought it was a blackbird, so I was pretty close. I went to Whitley Bay town centre and when I came back he had flown away! I'll keep you posted!
