It
seems as though Thulani has fallen in love with Ireland and is refusing to come home
:( Initially we got hold of his host family in Ireland and heard that there was
illness in the family which prolonged his stay. However, over the past months we
have tried to get hold of them with no response. </div>

I'm
truly sorry that Thulani never got to finish his journey! But thank you all for
the effort that you put into this little project! It is much appreciated!</div>

<span lang="EN-ZA" style="color: #2a2a2a;">Today Thulani went to
the Kipper factory in Peel. This is where all the Kippers on the island are processed.
Kippers are a natural source of our diet. Thulani sat on the window to view the
boats in the bay. Thulani also went into kipper the shop and met Jules at the
counter, she thought he was cute.</span></div>

English bull dog, then spent the morning at Fennella Beach, Thulani declined to
go swimming with lolla and thought sitting on the sea weed rocks was so much
nicer, he also took photos of the Castle and lolla swimming, off tomorrow to see

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today I took Thulani and Mlle Lapin to Sherborne as they were keen to see where the Queen had been to visit only a few weeks earlier. I think he was quite sad to have missed out on meeting the Queen of England as she took her special jubilee tour. And just after that the Olympic torch passed through Sherborne as well! Thulani and Mlle Lapin enjoyed looking at the exquisite architecture and were especially impressed by the fan vaulted ceilings.</span></span><br />

<span class="ecxApple-style-span" style="font-family: Tahoma;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today we purchased three new Siamese fighting fish. They are all male and have to be kept separately or they will kill each other. They are very pretty little fish that can breath air as well as having gills. This is as they sometimes have to survive in extreme conditions when water is in short supply and may end up living in a small puddle until heavy rains come. They live a short life and breed prolifically in the wild and are quite hardy as fish go. they come in various colours, ours are red blue and a sort of silvery/purple.</span></span></div>Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14910101541494674555noreply@blogger.com1Dorset, UK50.7390661 -2.338234650.4175191 -2.9699486 51.060613100000005 -1.7065205999999997tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138904818465777242.post-775390639329858162012-08-12T20:06:00.001+02:002012-08-12T20:18:28.674+02:00Thulani holidays in Crete<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">CRETE:</span></span> <br />

<br />Then late afternoon we all go karting where Thulani, Mlle Lapin and Sophie meet a few locals! Then everyone gets ready to race putting on not so glamorous hairnets before donning crash helmets! Joe and Thulani in the lead followed by dad and Rufus. Thulani and Joe win the race and Mile Lapin is very impressed.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "ArialMT";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Located in western Crete, Lake Kournas is the only lake the island has to offer and is well worth a visit. It is easy to get to by car located between the towns of Chania and Rethymnon.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "ArialMT";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The lake is stunning; a sapphire blue teardrop with edges of turquoise, surrounded by vegetation. It's a hub for wildlife, especially turtles and it's not uncommon to see eagles circling high above.</span></span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "ArialMT";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lake itself has a shallow area closer to the shore, while the more adventurous can hire a pedalo and paddle to the center of the crater.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "ArialMT";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We had a great afternoon at the lake, there are a number of lovely tavernas overlooking the lake where you can have a lazy lunch or an ice cream and some freshly squeezed juice. I (Karen) took Thulani and Mlle Lapin to my favorite taverna overlooking the lake and read a book stopping occasionally to look at the scenery whilst sipping a refreshing drink. Thulani and Mlle Lapin cuddled and admired the view.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "ArialMT";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alastair meanwhile took the children on a pedalo with slide and they had a fabulous time until they were all worn out. He then peddled them round the edge of the lake spotting the local wildlife. The lake is amazingly clear, they saw fish, eels and birds. In previous years we have seen terrapins too! The water level was the highest we have ever seen it due to heavy winter rains, maybe this was the reason for the lack of terrapins as there was hardly any beach.</span></span><br />

The local market is fascinating with lots to see. I love to smell the fresh herb stalls and look at all the locally grown vegetables and the children loved looking at the chickens and baby rabbits, that was, until I explained they were not pets but for cooking! There were lots of bags of snails too but I just couldn’t persuade the children that they might make a tasty supper.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The heart of Chania is still the old town, with its narrow, labyrinthine alleyways and listed buildings dating from different periods.

There we met our holiday rep Ray, who we have known for a good few years for a drink and also to try out a nearby taverna he had mentioned to us. We had a delicious fish and chip lunch there overlooking the crystal clear sea while the children paddled in the river of icy cold water that had run down from the white mountains (still snow covered in parts) to the sea which was lovely and warm!.</span></span></div>

We ate satay chicken skewers with peanut sauce, peking duck pancakes, tempura prawns and chilli dip, and spicy prawn thai soup, ribs, noodles, rice and chicken in black bean sauce. After that we did a bit of window shopping as we were all so full after the wonderful feast.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Cerne Giant is nearly 60 meters high and 51 meters wide. It is one of three ancient figures cut into the English chalk downlands, the others being the long man of Wilmington in East Sussex and the Uffington white horse in Berkshire. The giant is protected as a Scheduled Ancient Monument and was given to the National Trust in 1920 to ensure its permanent protection.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T</span></span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">he origin of the Giant is still unknown. Some believe that he represents the Roman god Hercules and is over 1,500 years old. Others suggest that the Giant is a caricature of Oliver Cromwell, and is only about 350 years old. This argument centers on the fact that there is no reference to the Giant in any historic documents until 1694.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div class="ecxcolumn">
<br />Local folklore suggests that if you want to conceive a child you should try it on the Giant as he is purported to be a very strong fertility symbol. I can speak from experience as when I first moved to Dorset we rented a house in Cerne Abbas and within a month I was expecting my first baby! So with that in mind I didn’t take Thulani and Mlle Lapin too close...Mlle Lapin thought it was very romantic being in love near a hillside .....she is a rabbit after all!</div>

<br />This little flint thatched building on the banks of the Cerne is typical of many old buildings throughout the valley. Tradition has it that King Charles II asked for a drink of ale/porter here when it was still a forge. On being told it had no license the King promptly granted it one so that the smith could oblige.<br />
<br />A pub called the Nutshell at Bury St Edmunds claimed also to be the smallest pub too and this led to a bit of rivalry and in 1982 a football match was held to settle the matter, unfortunately The Nutshell won and they also won the re-match.</div>

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thulani has arrived to stay with us, the Danby family. We are Karen (mum) Alastair (dad) Sophie (eldest daughter) Rufus (eldest son) Joe (10yrs) and Mimi (4yrs).</span><br />
<div class="ecxlayoutArea">

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We live in Chetnole a little rural village in the county of Dorset in the south of England. At the heart of the village is our Church, village hall and the Chetnole Inn not forgetting the Playing field.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dad Alastair works in the nearby town of Sherborne (which is about 7 miles away) and the children go to school there too. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eldest daughter Sophie works in the village next to us called Leigh, in a care home for the elderly, although she will be heading off to Leeds university in September to start her medical degree.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The 15th century tower is the location of some interesting gargoyles. One depicts a huge demon with heads where its eyes should be. Another of the gargoyles appears to be straining in a somewhat constipated manor. The nave and the north aisle dates from the 13th century and the chancel from about 1860.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Village Hall is a small hall which is utilized for many meetings, clubs and keep fit activities. Every Wednesday morning a coffee morning is held and some local produce is on sale along with the availability of post office facilities. A traveling Library van visits Chetnole too!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We do not have a train station as most people would imagine but we have what is called a halt, which means that if we want to catch a passing train we have to flag it down like you would a taxi!! The children love this, as in the summer we occasionally take the train to Weymouth beach for the day, returning after a fish and chip supper on the seafront. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma";">We also occasionally take the train to Bath(famous for its Roman Baths) for shopping, rugby watching and visiting our friends. </span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: "Tahoma";"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chetnole_railway_station" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chetnole_railway_station</a></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love to go to the Chetnole Inn for lunch or supper as the food is delicious and Mimi likes to visit the giant rabbit that lives in their garden. </span></span><span style="color: #000099; font-family: "Tahoma";"><a href="http://www.thechetnoleinn.co.uk/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">http://www.thechetnoleinn.co.uk</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Tahoma";"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> She also likes to go to the playing field to have fun on the swings and slide before heading home to Neals Lane in Chetnole.</span></span><br />

Here in the country because people do not live on top of each other (as they do in a town) so they need to travel a bit further to be sociable, and once a year a "Voisinade" is organised where local families, friends and neighbours get together to talk, eat, drink, make music and have a thoroughly good time. This photo shows Hubert & Concha with Thulani. They are our delightful neighbours who hosted Saturday night's Voisinade event. They knew he was heading off to England for the next stage of his world tour, so they organised a Union Jack flag with the French bread ..... He wonders what he is going to do when he gets to England ?!!<br />

Thulani discovered a Folk Instrument tonight called a Veille, but Paula told him that in England it's called a "Hurdy Gurdy" Paula put some Wikipedia information about the history of this instrument into Thulani's log book. It is very strange and you can see Thulani with the instrument, A clarinettist came to the Voisinade too and that is not such an unusual instrument. Sadly he didn't give a rendition of Acker Bilk's "Stranger on the Shore !"</div>

Oh, and in case you were wondering if your eyes were playing tricks with you .... if you think you see a rabbit with Thulani in some of these photos, I have to let you know that Thulani and Madamoiselle Lapin seem to have fallen in love ..... He met her at the concert and they have, so far, not been separated ..... It may mean that the Mlle Lapin might have to travel to England with him, because at this stage it seems to be getting serious .... Paula told him not to rush into anything, but I wanted to show them sitting among the pansies .....</div>

Sunday morning 17th June was bright and sunny. Paula took some photos with Thulani and Gabriel & Florian and their father Eric, who came for a nice morning session of music. You must admire the rose bush which grows around a pergolas in our Garden! It is such a big garden, we have to have a sit-on tractor mower !! Thulani was a bit too small to drive it :( </div>

She has to leave in one hour to set up all the instruments, tables & chairs and get organised for the 8pm start tonight. Also we have an orchestral rehearsal at 7pm ...... YIKES !!</span><br />

<br />Yesterday he had a nice afternoon at our lovely Maison de Retrait, which is called Balthazar Benard and Thulani was able to enjoy some more music, played by Louis (in the red tee shirt) and his mother who plays the Saxophone. They will be performing together<br />tonight as well, playing a Gounod's Ave Maria based on the first Prelude by Bach in C major. (do majeur en français. Thulani has been interested to learn solfège while he has been in France). The elderly people get lots of concerts and what they call "animations" from the music school pupils. It is really good to connect the young and the elderly together as often as possible. It benefits both groups at either end of the age spectrum !! What a wonderful initiative! Paula worked for 2 weeks at this retirement home last summer and she loved it but in September she her job as piano teacher in Ligueil.<br /> <br />

<br />The last photos show our good friend Raphael in his stripey sweatshirt. He has the same name as the Pastor of our Church ! Raphael is an active member of the church too and lives in Loches and is married to a pianist and accordeon player. In August he will fit double glazed windows in our house because he is a "Menuisier" a carpenter and he does excellent work ! This will make a big difference to keeping us warm next winter.<br /> <br />

<br />Finally a photo of Thulani on our computer !! We got an e.mail from Karen today, asking when she is likely to expect the little chap. She wants to take him on holiday to Crete with her and Paula is envious !! <br /> <br />Thulani has just one more day with the horses on Monday morning, then he leaves middle of next week. We will miss him.</span>Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14910101541494674555noreply@blogger.com0France46.227638 2.21374940.608644 -7.893673 51.846632 12.321171tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138904818465777242.post-21300948786956408062012-06-11T16:06:00.000+02:002012-06-11T16:11:16.748+02:00Thulani in France - Part 5<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thulani had a wonderful day today. His favourite day so far in France !! As it is Sunday, Paula asked him if he would like to go to church with her, and he wasn't sure because he didn't know what denomination he was, and also worried that it will all be in French and he wouldn't understand it ?! He said that last Christmas he went to a lovely Christmas concert at St. Mary's Parish Chuch Columbus Ohio and he LOVED the music.<br /> <br />Paula put his mind at rest and said that there was always lots of lovely music in their service and that he would be very much welcomed. She showed him their website </span><a href="http://www.evangeliquedeloches/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.evangeliquedeloches</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and he said it did look very friendly, so he agreed to go and what a great time he had there !! The congregation were all so happy and even though he didn't understand everything, he got the idea of true celebration and joy. The first photo shows Thulani with Pastor Raphael Anzenberger outside the church, and the second photo is a lovely little girl Lylia, who was also attending her first church service (because she's only 13 days old !). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Paula told Thulani that there is an English service next Sunday, so if he is still here in France he could attend that too if he wants to.<br /> <br />Now a little bit of information about the Royal & Impregnable Fortress of Loches. The Keep was built in the early 11th century. 36 metres high, it is one of the most imposing buildings of the Roman period and the best preserved Keep in Europe. There are dungeons, tunnels and a medieval garden. The Royal Quarters, jewel of the French Renaissance, was home to the Valois and accommodated famous women such as Joan of Arc, Agnès Sorel and Anne of Brittany. The royal quarters contain fine collections of Flemish tapestries, armours and paintings. </span><br />

<br /><br />A high point for Thulani was also visiting La collégiale Saint-Ours, (ours meaning "bear" of course !) and parts of that ancient church dates back to 1030 and 1135 etc. This year Loches is celebrating the 600th Anniversary of the birth of Joan of Arc (Jeanne d'Arc) in 1412. More about her in the next e.mail (we need to do some research !!) After the sight-seeing in Loches at the church, Paula & Thulani went down to the town and enjoyed a bit of outdoor, typically "tables on the pavement" café life and he enjoyed the atmosphere enormously !! He said " this is the life !! " Luckily it wasn't too hot today as it has been raining quite a bit recently.<br />

<br /><br />The day was rounded off perfectly by chillin' out in front of the TV to watch an English film called "The Queen" with Helen Mirren playing Her Royal Majesty (of course it had been dubbed into French). There is a British series of programmes and films on the channel "Arte" and to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee, this was a good choice. You can see Thulani sitting on the TV paper giving the film a "pick of the week" spot !! He's really looking forward to going to England now !! ..... <br />

Thulani is actually not in the photograph., because we were afraid he might get dirty if he went into the straw. Also the mother horse was a little bit anxious and we didn't want to disturb her. Next week we plan to make another trip to the Haras de Muschamp stud farm and give you lots more information about breeding horses.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But for now, we just need to send a couple of photos of Caspar our cat, who was fascinated in Thulani's world travels and had never seen anything quite like Thulani before. Caspar arrived in France with us on 14th July 2009 and has enjoyed 3 very happy years here in the countryside. He originally came from Battersea Dogs Home. He was a rescue cat and has been with us for at least 10 years, so he's not that young anymore.<br /> <br />These two photos were taking by Franciso, who is working here in France with the horses at present, but as he's originally from Argentina, he was really interested about when Thulani stayed with Natalia, Ines, Clara, Sofia & Ana in Patagonia. Francisco is leaving France to go to Ireland quite soon and he wondered whether Thulani is planning to visit Ireland ? He says Ireland is very well worth a visit, if possible.<br /> <br />Thulani is very much hoping that Caspar the cat will appear on his travel blog .... Tomorrow we'll be visiting Loches, so hopefully there will be more photos and some information about Joan of Arc.</span>Gillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14910101541494674555noreply@blogger.com0France46.227638 2.21374940.608644 -7.893673 51.846632 12.321171tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1138904818465777242.post-74814167269218395982012-06-08T11:44:00.000+02:002012-06-11T16:09:27.443+02:00Thulani in France - Part 2<div class="ecxMsoNormal">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;">Thulani loves the beautiful local Touraine stone which is called 'tuffeau' but not sure if that's how it is spelled. Our lovely old "longère" is built from this stone and I love it. It is quite a cold house in the snowy, harsh winters that we get here (although not as bad as Norway !), but it is perfect for the very hot summers that we normally have. It is a lovely cool home but at the moment the weather is very unseasonal, with lots of wind, rain and storms. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;">Wednesday is Paula's busiest day of the week, as she starts teaching at 10.30 in the morning. The primary children don't go to school on Wednesday morning and the Collège students (secondary school) come home at lunchtime on Wednesday, so Paula is teaching ALL afternoon non-stop !! Then she plays with a "Funk Groove Band" at 7.30 after her last pupil. I am hoping to upload some of the photos of my pupils, but of course, I first have to ask permission from their parents. We have our End of Year Concert next week on Friday 15th June and I'm hoping Thulani will still be here to enjoy that ? ...... </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Arial;">In the photos that follow you see Thulani on one of her student's piano, as well as making great friends with Daisy the dog of another of her pupils ..... Thulani on the drum kit was a highlight of his evening last night !</span></span></div>

He needs to spend a quiet day before we start to introduce him to all the exciting things he will<br />
be doing here in France. First of all he needs to learn a few words in French. first word is "Bienvenue en France, petit Ours" Welcome to France little Bear ! Can you believe the word Ours means Bear ?

We had a lovely day, Thuliani decided to have some pics taken in the stuff room and he helped me to make some photocopies for my pupils... after the hard work he had a little rest. He went with me to teach children and say about himself. <span style="font-family: Arial;">The day was tiring and when we came home he played a bit with my children and looked in the garden for some nice place to rest. He really liked sitting between the plants. </span>He also liked our Easter basket, which we make every Easter Saturday and go with it to the church. Inside the basket we have a bit of each type of food, a ham, some bread, a cake, something sweet and some eggs of course. A priest is blessing the food we bring so we won't lack it for next year. We bring the basket home and share the food with our love ones.

What has he learned? Well, he learnt that Germans do have a sense of humour, that it‘s a country with a long history, that even a bear can become a star, that in essence people all over the world are the same. He‘s looking forward to his next stop Poland and is excited about all he will learn there. Hamba Kahle Thulani! Go well our funny little bear. You will be missed!</span><br />

Thulani woke up to another grey german day. Jamie decided it would be good to bake some muffins. We hit a snag as we did not have eggs but no real problem we have great neighbours. Thulani had great fun licking the bits from the mixer and I had to wipe chocolate off his face. After lunch we took Jamie, Linus, Marike and Thulani to see the "Stone age house" in Venne, a small village near Bramsche. We did not know that it would be closed today so we could not see inside. But the kids and Thulani had fun anyway. It was really cold so we did not stay long. Tomorrow will be Thulani's last day in Germany. We sure are going to miss the furry fellow.</span><br />
