A Long Lost Cousin, a Squirrel and a Curry...YUM!

Hello Fans! Today is my last day in the lovely green surrounds of Lincoln. Yesterday I met my (other) cousin, Mickey for the first time! We went for a drive and I met his dog Toby (which is HUGE!) Although I'm not generally a dog person, Toby was very playful and we were playing tug of war with a plastic toy! When I got home, Paul and Joan proceeded to inform me that Toby was at times particularly vicious with people he doesn't know! Apparently, I was lucky to get away clean! Of course, you can imagine the expression on my face at this point...

Joan and Paul then took me to a place called Hartsholme Park. It's a rich, lush public park area that's home to a lot of fauna. In fact, the squirrels are almost tame enough to take a nut from your hand! We were hoping to get a picture of me feeding a squirrel, however, they weren't as abundant as we'd hoped, but still it was amazing to see them running around! Here's a few pictures of me enjoying the sunny weather..

After this, Joan and I popped down to ASDA (super-market). I quickly found the laundry items aisle and the stores massive supply of 'Ariel Washing Powder'. Michelle McD would've loved it I'm sure!

The Best Washing Powder in THE WORLD! (Apparently!)

After this we'd bought a few things, and we proceeded to the 'self-service' checkout. Such a novelty, I decided to take a picture. I promised to caption this picture as 'Aunty Joan expertly working the self-serve checkout'... so please consider this to be an accurate depiction of such!

Later on, Joan, Paul, Kathryn, Mickey and I went out to an 'all you can eat' Indian buffet! I looked at the sign which was reasonably priced at £6.95 each! The food was delicious.. the best restaurant Indian I've had! Here's a family photo...

Family Dinner - back to our roots, kind of!

Not sure when my next post will be.. I'm catching a train back to London tonight, after which, I'm flying to Venice to meet Emma tomorrow morning - then, the real Italian Odyssey begins!

Ciao for now!
