Tenjin Matsuri festival and the annoying deers






On the 25th we went to Tenjin festival.The first float was a bit scary because they were carrying it and there were people on it.There were horses and cows.We had to stand behind the white line in case the bull carged or the horses reared,bucked or it went out of control. Charlie Woodward








At the festival there was this stand which had a trough full of goldfish and you had to catch them on a paper net and put it in a bowl. If you caught more than 5 fish you win 2 goldfish.Louis Woodward








This was very similar to the gold fish catching but with baby turtles.It was really hard .You had to catch 5 turtles to win 1.It was so hard because you were only allowed to use a paper net.I got 1. On Louis` 1st try his net broke right through. So he got 0.Charlie Woodward

  1. hello! Ollie and his mum and dad here - you are having such a good time and doing such interesting things - even the annoying deer look good fun & I would love a pet bug. We have just come back from camping in Cornwall. we went to Lands End, the Minack theatre to watch a show and boogie boarding. Then it rained and we came home! Love the blog .

  2. Hello! My bugs died the other day......:(
    Your camping sounds fun but bad luck about the rain. Our new hobby is cicada catching- it is very populer in Japan! Charlie is too scared to touch them so I have to put them in the box for her!
