There is only one more week to Easter. I have already started my holiday. The idea of visiting my uncle during this Easter is wonderful. His farm is in this village down in Cornwall. This village is very peaceful and beautiful. I have asked my aunt if I can bring Sam, my dog, with me. I promise her I will keep him under control. He attacked and he ate some animals from her farm in October. But he is part of the family and I cannot leave him behind.
In my uncle's village, there is a shop which sells a lot of things. The owner of the shop has known my uncle since school. They were old friends. This shop sells kites among other things. I had been given one by my Dad. I couldn't believe my eyes when I opened it up. It was just an amazing thing. He had also taught me how to fly it. I enjoy it and it is fun. It brings me out to the open space more often. I am also seeing my Dad more often. He stays away from his office at weekends. That is good. There are all sorts of kites. I am actually getting myself some more during this visit.
During this visit, I'm going to ride a horse. I wasn't allowed to do that because I wasn't old enough. But I am older now. My aunt is very good at riding and she will teach me. I am asking to be allowed to stay with my aunt for the summer. I am excited by the idea. Besides riding, I can make some pocket money by helping out in the farm. They have got some cows and sheep, as well as pigs and some chickens. But I don't want to work with pigs.
They are about eight miles from the sea. My uncle can take me out on his new boat. He has spent his spare time building this boat. I am always being amazed by what he can do. He was an airman and his life is an interesting story on its own and he is full of surprises. In April, he is constructing a tree-house for Amy, my older cousin. Over Easter, it will be her eleventh birthday. If Mum lets me, I will buy her some chocolates. But Amy will be disappointed if I can't get her any. But I think she will understand. She has got no idea that I'm arranging a surprise party for her.
