Aha, it is now summer time! The clocks changed yesterday, but that's what mummy says, they look just the same to me. Mummy says that the winter has now officially ended, but no one has told the snow that it should not be here - it is cold. I went sledging on Saturday - that was fun and I laughed hahaha! Oh yes, we went on a train too - I still like trains a lot. Yesterday we all went to Avenches: Daddy, Mummy, Alison and me, to see the Fasnacht bands. They were great with so much noise and colourful clothes: one group were dressed as big birds which was funny. I wish that I had had my plastic trumpet and drum with us and we could have had our own band. I have a cough, mummy has a worse one, but won't go to the doctors - which is naughty of her dad says. We want her to be well, poor mummy. I love mummy a lot, and continually tell her 'I like you' and she chuckles and says that I am sweet. Daddy is at home and it is excellent: he has read a lot to me; tickled me; danced and played trains, but best of all he gave me lots of cuddles and yesterday we watched Mary Poppins again together in front of a lovely warm open fire. Alison is going home to her parents and to study after more than four years in Europe. I will miss her. She is funny and makes me laugh and when we play trains she talks in lots of different voices and so do I. Alison likes to watch movies and do sport - a bit, and drink wine and laugh and eat Thai curry - a lot. Must go and do important things now, bye!
