Yodi's Adventure Discussion Thread - YorkieTalk's Traveling Yorkie 4 Attachment(s) Yodi is going on a trip to meet as many YTers as possible. So far there are 30+ members who Yodi will be visiting, which will be about 8 months of traveling across the USA, Canada and the UK!! I know Yodi is going to have a lot of fun on her adventure and so are the YTers she visits. :D You can follow Yodi on her Twitter and on her live Google Map! Members are free to post and comment on either Yodi's Twitter or on her Google Map. In fact, she likes comments! Hehehe. :D You can also follow Yodi right here on YorkieTalk of course. This thread is for anything Yodi, (Yodi chat, Yodi visits, Yodi photos, Yodi questions and maybe the odd hint of her next destination). Yodi also has another thread where the posts and photos from her visits will be put together collectively to tell her story. This is so that members can find the photos easily and to prevent this thread getting confusing and members missing out on seeing photos. The photo thread can be found here. Yodi will be traveling hopefully for a long time. Members can invite Yodi into their homes by PMing me. A new place for Yodi to visit will be chosen at random after each member Yodi visits. Even when Yodi is traveling, feel free to PM me and I can add you to the list of places for Yodi to visit. Please note, this is only open to full YorkieTalk Donating Members, (a member who has donated a minimum of $25). I have run this through Admin to make sure it's okay for us to do this and they said that it was fine, so thank you to Admin, and also thank you for being more than helpful with this. ~~~ Yodi's adventure starts right here in Nottinghamshire, England. We took a trip at the weekend to visit the castle, walk round the museum and the Robin Hood statue. Attachment 275693 Nottingham Castle - taken from the castle grounds, Amelia had Yodi at this point and when I tried to take her she cried... so to save embrassment of a screaming child I let her keep hold of her. :rolleyes: Attachment 275694 Attachment 275695 Attachment 275696 Views from the Castle - in the first photo you can see the first industrial part of Nottingham including the British Waterworks building which was built in 1696! Some of the surrounding buildings aren't as old as you can see from the picure. The second photo shows the windmill in the distance, (sort of central in the photo) and also part of one of the many churches. The area in the forground is the main ring road around the city centre and the building nearest is a carpark. At the foot of this is a canal which would of been the original moat for the castle. I would of leaned over and taken a photo of the canal and the grounds below... but I'm scared of heights and that was just about as much as I could handle! The third photo is a more modern development. The white tent like building is the Inland Revenue building. The buildings around it are offices. The funny round white things actually rise at a certain temperature to allow air into the buildings when they get hot. In the far distance you can see Beacon Hill which is the square looking area of trees and the hill next to that is a nature reserve. Both of those areas are part of what would of been Sherwood Forest before developement took over. There is very little of Sherwood Forest left near the city now but thankfully lots around the area I live. :) |
3 Attachment(s) The next two photos are of Yodi on the Castle wall, (yes Amelia let me have her back for a while), in the distance of one you can see the modern look of Nottingham which would of been farm land and at one point Nottingham village. The other photo shows the grounds. In both photos you can see the wall which would of held the drawbridge over the moat. Attachment 275697 Attachment 275698 Then we went to see the Robin Hood statue and Yodi sat and had her photo taken... much to the bemusement of an American couple who had just been taking each others photos infront of it with their baby. Attachment 275699 |
2 Attachment(s) Finally the photos of Yodi ready to go on her adventure. She's packed a few things as a gift to her next host and also a notebook which she will be taking with her to all the members she vists so they can write in it. Attachment 275701 In the notebook I've included a couple of postcards from Nottingham and Sherwood Forest and wrote a little message... I would take photos, but the notebook is just for the members she visits. :p Attachment 275702 Now she's ready to go meet some more YTers.... but where will she go!!!! :p She will be leaving tomorrow morning! :cheer: |
Wow, this is going to be so much fun....not only having Yodi come visit me and see the sights where I live, but to be able to come on here (and/or Twitter & live google map) and see :teethysmi where she has been. Kind of like a mini travel around the world right here in the comforts of home. Loved the pictures and information of Yodi's adventure in Nottinghamshire, England.......where or where is she on her way to now? Can't wait to find out!:D |
