Pony Trekking Again!!

So I forgot to mention this in my last post about 20 seconds ago but we went Pony Trekking again. Once more it was in the Brecon Beacons but instead of going to Pentre riding stables we went to Travelog Farm which was very close to Pentre. We did 3 days of riding which included a full day ride. This time I rode a Welsh pony called Merlin and Larry rode a horse called King. While we were there we went back into England to go to Hay-on-Wye which has the largest second-hand bookshop in the world. And a gold postbox.

Once more that's all.

Adios,

School?Life?Getting up before 10?+City of Bones review

So in 1 week i'll be going back to school(Nooooooo!!). And because it's Yr 6 I've got my Entrance exams and SATs. But I've also got a week-long trip to Paris and the school musical. and the fact we'll be lording over the rest of the school.YAY!

On a completely separate note on August 21st me and my sister went to see The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones(starring Jamie Campbell Bower and Lily Collins). My sister is in fact seeing it again today with one of her friends. As The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare are some of my favourite books ever, just under The Infernal Devices by the same author,I'm a little biased but I loved City of Bones. While it did have some plot holes and details from the books were taken out,the director had to miss some things out so the movie wouldn't be 4 hours long! So I don't understand what the critics are moaning about. From the reviews on IMDb multiple people enjoyed it. I quote one such reviewer who gave it nine stars "I'm a 39 year old male who has never read the books". The critics are just idiots mainly.

Right,after that rant I think you can tell I'm quite passionate about these books and movie.But the good news even after the poor reception of City of Bones,City of Ashes(2nd book in the series) will definitely be released in 2014.

So to sum up school soon, City of Bones=great movie and I'm gonna go back to re-reading The Mortal Instruments and watching YouTube.

Adios,

Ally ;-P

P.P.S I got moved up to the 3 o'clock riding which is more advanced then my last class,however I now have to go to church. I'm totes spiritual and stuff.

 I'm currently in Toronto after my first and final term at Finton House ended.I'm gonna go to JAPS in the new year!Anyways we have been in Toronto since Friday and we haven't really done much
.  1.We went to see the Hobbit.
 2.Uhhhh 
3.Hmmm 
4.We ate stuff.
5.We did go up the Cn tower
.  Yeah that's about it.We are returning home to Londinium in 1 day (Yes!) and we wil arrive home late on the 23rd.I'm actually looking forward to the plane journey!That shows how much I can't stand Toronto.Looking outside my window I am greeted by the charming view of a construction site here in supposedly Toronto city centre.It's so quiet!All the time!And cold... When we went up the CN tower there is a glass floor and Mo,Larry and Mum made me lie on it so they could take a picture because they were all to scared to do it themselves.Traitors. We have left our darling dog with certain people who shall remain unnamed.Our poor dog.She must be so lonely in Bristol. So yeah!  
I am waiting for Beautiful Creatures(54 days),City Of Bones (8 months 2 days)and  Clockwork Princess (88 days)to come out.  Adios,Amigos!  Ally

Tae kwon do and Malaysia

A few days ago me and Dad went to see the Tae Kwon Do at the ExCel because I do it outside of school.It was in the evening so we only stayed for an hour.It is really quick!There are 3 rounds.Each round is two minutes long.You get points on what you do.For instance if you do a turning head-kick it gives you 4 points.The person at the end who has the most points wins!

This evening at 6:00 we're going to leave for Gatwick to get there in time for check-in at 7:15. At9:15 we're leaving Gatwick for ... Malaysia!I can't wait!It is still 2 hours away at time of writing.

I think that's it.

One more thing

I forgot to mention that me and Larry moved up Riding lessons so we are now in more advanced classes.I have started to canter!

I also went on a pony trekking holiday in the Brecon Beacons.I rode  the same pony Sapphire  the whole time.We were on bridlepaths for two days.On the second day me and Larry had a canter in a big field.On the third day me and Larry went up into the mountains and had a canter on the top.Sapphire was the fastest of all of them.All the horses were very sure footed and fit.We met this nice Swedish girl who owned several horses back in Sweden.And Larry had just got braces in so she can't bite anything.On the way there we stopped to have burgers and she had to tear them apart.LOL.

That really is it.

Last week of school!

This week was the last week of school and it was really fun!
We did about a million play rehearsals for our Tudor play and I found out what my costume is.I've got to wear all my riding gear and have some sort of hacking jacket.Today there was a big Jubilee party at school to celebrate the Queen's diamond Jubilee. Dad said that on Sunday we are going to see the River Pageant along the Thames.

Also in July my choir is doing a production of Guys and Dolls with St. Cecilia's choir.AND I'm going for an overnight trip with my class to visit a replica of Sir Francis Drake's ship, the Golden Hinde.

Catch ya later,
Ali.
