Wilbert goes to the City

I apologize for the delay in conveying Wilbert's email! Wilbert spend a wonderful day with Nathalee and Deanell touring the city! He saw some incredible places and sent us some lovely pics and messages.

Woot! Check that out!! That is The Shard hotel! Did you know that it's the tallest building in Europe?? Wow!! I can't believe I got to see it! 

Isn't that the prettiest building you've ever laid eyes on? Ironically it's the exact design I had in mind for the house I intend to build for myself some day! I'll have to find the architect and have a talk with him!

Oh look how tall and proud I stand!! I can't believe little old me is about to see the London bridge!!! Oh what fun!!

Oh there it is!!!! Do you see the awe in my eyes!! I even teared up a little!! Isn't it beautiful?!!  I have a good mind to climb it and sit right at the top!! I'm not sure if that might be frowned upon though... 

One picture is just not enough!! I had to take another selfie!!  This moment deserves a moment of silence.....trust me, I'm silent even though my mouth's wide open! I'm just dumbfounded!

Look at the London Bridge Hospital right behind me!! It's structure is incredible. Oh what a wonderful view one would have from inside!! I do pity the poor people laying inside, but at least they have a beautiful and hopefully calming view... I'm sending healing vibes to them. I suggest you do too!!

Speechless!!

Aaah! With a name like that you'd think the queen takes her walk here every day right? Wrong! It's just a pedestrian walkway that goes a few miles! I did look around hopefully though you never know if the queen would saunter over in my general direction. Although Deanell told me that Nathalee and her friend Nikki have a restraining order and can not be within 100ft of her vicinity! Twas something about them almost knocking down her perambulator with George in it!! teeheehee! That drastically reduces my chances of seeing and chatting with said Queen! I will have to ask Nathalee for details later! As for her friend Nikki, I hope to meet her someday after all the wild stories I've heard about her!

Nathalee is so random! She just suddenly grabbed me by the hip and started dancing!! I love dancing!! Oh how I love her! See the joy and love on my face?

......And we're still dancing, but observe the beautiful view behind me!! Don't concentrate on the pained look I have on my face from that firm grip...good grief! I might need a hip replacement after this dance! She's not shy I can tell you that! Lots of people were staring at us!! I'm just glad she didn't twerk! ...and now I can't even believe I uttered that word!..in my acquired British accent none the less. That will be my first and last time! Note to self..stay away from the media!!  On the up side..A couple of people asked for my autograph! Am I getting popular then?

We're slowly making our way home but enjoying the view as we go. I can't believe I will be leaving London soon! Oh how I will miss these two!! My hip on the other hand...

One last little rest to enjoy the view! This is one beautiful city! I'm very reluctant to leave although I know my host family in Kenya is eagerly awaiting my arrival. Wow! All the way to Africa!!!

Wilbert is British!

Oh boy! Oh boy! Do I have something to tell you!! Not only have I acquired a British accent but I now have the passport too!! It's a wonderful red one!!! I've also decorated my suitcase with some awesome stickers and I will be carrying my flag around to celebrate!!! Plus I have to go and get me some cool British gear!!

Look at that!! How do I look? Patriotic I suppose! Don't worry, I'm still Canadian at heart and I still have my Canadian passport! I have to say my family back home will be astonished to hear how British I sound. I may settle here some day. Nathalee and Deanell said I can stay with them any day! Infact, they don't want me to leave at all. Nathalee now fondly calls me "Willy British"...and might I mention she's the only one allowed to call me that!!

We are out shopping! The streets of London are always busy! Can you see the excitement on my face?

Woot! Check these out!! How do I look? Wow! Brad Pitt step aside!! I think I look pretty cool. I don't like to toot my own horn but I think I look smashing! Wouldn't you agree? Plus the colours are great! 

Forget the shades! Check out this new shirt! It rocks!! London rocks! Deanell rocks!! I rock and I'm keeping this shirt!! Oh how I love my new gear! Now everywhere I go they can tell I'm British too!!

Ho! Hoo!!! Look at this one!! I love it!! Now no one can doubt I'm British too with a shirt like this!! How can you?! I might give one of the two to Bilbert when I find him! But meanwhile I will wear them and look awesome!

Look at my new friends! Can you tell this has been a very successful day! Getting a passport, cool clothes and making friends all in one day!!! Everyone is so nice and friendly to me...I wonder if they are just a naturally friendly folk?...

Wonder if I should buy one of these to travel with? I could drive myself instead of flying everywhere!! Naa.. Flying is still way more fun...and you get to meet way more people!

Oh time to go home! We have to relax as tomorrow we have another touring day!! Nathalee said she will take me to see the London bridge! Imagine that!!!

Later gators...

It's England! It's England!

I'm finally here!!! It's London!! I love it!!! Nathalee picked me up and I was just delighted to meet her. She was sweet, funny and she talks almost as fast as I do!! Her son Deanell is the superstar! He is cool, witty, and he happens to be better looking than I am (very rare!)

Look at them both!! Can you see the delight on my face?? Huh!! Their accents are just music to my ears!! I've acquired a bit of an accent too!! Oh you should just hear me, I sound brilliant!!

Look at that!!! Nathalee hinted she would put me in one of those!! Ugh! Can you imagine how claustrophobic that would be?? Oh the horror!! I'm getting nightmares just thinking about it!! Better yet, can you see the fright on my face and the glee on hers? She's a riot that Nathalee!! Good thing I love her and I'm so forgiving! Flights are way better and roomier! Just saying....

Somehow I feel safer in the hands of Deanell!! Plus we just look cool together!! Look at those shades!!  We are going to a friends birthday party!! You know I love everything about that..kids, food, games, music and cake! What's not to love??!

Oh I'm having such a great time!! The kids think I'm a bit odd maybe because my dancing skills are far more advanced than theirs!.. And maybe because I had too much cake! Does my stomach look a tad protrudy? Bilbert was the party animal, I was glad to come to the party as I was hopeful I would find him here. He could always smell a party a mile away. I shook every gift and looked under all the furniture and on the dance floor, but Bilbert was nowhere! 

Oh! Oh! Time for me to sing..

I played this little organ and sang my heart out! They were all amazed at my voice!! One of the parents, a music producer offered to record one of my songs!! Can you believe that!? Woot!! I would love that, but I'm on a mission to find my brother and honestly travelling around the world is so much fun!!!  I should have done this ages ago!!

Oh I'm glad we're home! Don't you just love their house?? Oh I can tell I will love my stay here!! I just know it!! Nathalee and Deanell are planning an awesome trip to show me around London so stay tuned!! I'm pooped..

Wilbert tours Greece

Wilbert had a few days bonding with the family and spending endless hours playing with Porthos. He had so much fun that for a brief moment he forgot his quest to look for Bilbert. At least he knows he has to have fun as he searches too!!

He looked in this lovely flowery bush but he wasn't in there. The leaves kind of tickled him and he had a good laugh. He couldn't believe how lush and green the bush looked and the flowers were such a lovely pink colour...and the smell was glorious! Oh the little joys of life!!

Oh the ground is so warm!! Where is the snow?? He is certainly not missing it! The sun on his face feels lovely!!!  You can tell with his one attentive ear he is listening out for any sounds of Bilbert! 

"Yoohoo Billy!! Can you hear me?? Woot..notice how the Greek flag in the background brings out the brown in my eyes??!... I love it here!! Hmm Billy's not here!!"  I have to mention that Wilbert is the only one that's allowed to call Bilbert Billy! It's a twin thing. He gets livid when anyone else calls him Billy! By the way...does anyone else notice just how easily Wilbert gets distracted?

"Billy? Billy? I guess he's not on the rooftop! But hey, look at this beautiful view!!!! The air is so fresh, the trees smell great and the sky looks beautiful!...oh what a beautiful mooorning.. oh what a beautiful day....ok enough singing! hey Porthos, wanna play hide and seek?..."

Wilbert is having such a great time in Greece! All the monsters are having a great time living vicariously through him!! We miss him though! But he has a job to do and an adventure to have. 

So long Wilbert! Till next time...

Bilbert's First Adventure in Oxford!

Bilbert has already arrived in Oxford and is having a great time with Naomi and gang!!

"I arrived in Oxfordshire in first class style (thank you Claire and postie) and the first thing to do was meet the rest of the gang. From the left there was Jarath, Jack Sparrow *WOW a real pirate! The Librarian, Ben the biker who I though was scary looking at first but he's a real teddy bear once you get to know him and Lady Loveday, a beautiful steampunk lady who has promised me a ride on her Zepplin tomorrow, I wonder if Naomi will lend me some goggles..

Next person I met was Naomi's latest project....

....A beautiful winged mermaid!!

 I could really go for this wing lark, save a load of postage if I could just fly everywhere!!

Huh? Not too sure about this fella tho, says he's called Fred but apart from that he didn't talk much

I'm having such a great time with every one so far!! I may never leave Oxford!! I will write soon with more adventures"

Bilbert sure got to Oxford fast! Wow he seems to be having so much fun and meeting such interesting characters!! I will post as soon as he writes with more adventure! Have fun Bilbert!!
