Florentina has got a big Secret


Little Florentina has got a very big secret. Harold, her uncle from London, lives on the moon. He was sent there a long time ago!
And, why was Harold sent to the moon?

He was sent there to get some nice creamy cheese!

But, sadly, Uncle Harold never came back. He stayed on the moon to eat all the cheese.

And, Harold's poor mother and father?

They have to make-do with cheese bought from Hoffer.

And, the moon? It's getting smaller and smaller. Uncle Harold is eating it up!!

And, Florentina?  She loves creamy cheese, too!

Our Summer in Hungary

Summer is over. It is autumn. We came back from our holiday last week. We went to Hungary. We stayed in a little village near Lake Balaton. We were there for 6 weeks. The weather was hot, and the water temperature of the lake was perfect for swimming. Hungary is a very nice country. The people are friendly, Hungarian food is great and the countryside is beautiful. There is much to do there. There is cycling, there is horse riding, there is swimming, and there is very much culture. We went to many concerts and exhibitions. We had a wonderful summer!
