Guest blog from Bea and Leo

17th December 2010 by Helena 2 Comments  

Hello this is Bea and Leo,

today on Saturday 18 of December 2010 we are going to tell you what we got mummy for her B-day! Me (Bea) & Leo & Olivia have created a magazine called Powell BTW I came up with the name! and it was lovely well we think it is and mummy likes it too. It is 94 pages long and at the back it says who works for it and who does what. Our friends Polly-Jane & Charlotte Cunningham have helped a little with it. Polly-Jane wrote a few articles and Charlotte chose the clothes for the modeling. They came over on Friday last week and before that, and we did lots of work on it, it was very hard and we like doing it so much that we have decided to continue with it for however long we would like to! The next copy of the magazine has to be printed out and made, so it is ready for X-mas day! That is when we will show mummy and daddy (Rupert Wright) it. It is called the X-mas issue. On the X-mas issue we have got little quotes from our sister Julia who lives in England and unfortunately is not staying with us for X-mas, and neither is our brother Hugo. But they stayed for a few days before it. Julia just left this morning and Hugo is in Australia. So hopefully the X-mas issue will be done before X-mas. Mummy also got a really big I POD speaker which was really good for her party but i don’t know how it was because i wasn’t there. But her party was obviously AMAZING from what i heard. There was mini eggs and chocolates and champagne and lots more. She also got some underwear from H&M but the funny thing was Julia had rapped them up and put every un matching sets together but when she had opened all of them she had found all of the matching ones! But there was 1 unexpected surprise one of the underwear’s was a size 16.
Thank you for reading my Blog Bea and i hope you have enjoyed!
Byee
XOXOXO.
