Warwick Castle

Today we went to Warwick Castle with our friend Katie. It was a very long journey, about an hour and fifteen minutes, but when we got there, we were okay, only my feet hurt a bit from sitting in the car for so long. When we got there, Katie had been in the Gift Shop and her mum was in the toilets, and we didn’t know, so we were wondering around looking for them when Katie came hurrying out of the Gift Shop with a squidgy dragon-toy and her mum bumped into us by the door of the so-called ‘Queens’ and Princess’ Toilets. Then we spent twenty minutes waiting for Mummy and Chris (Katie’s mum) to sign us in with our Blue Peter cards and everything else like that, until finally, we walked through the gates of Warwick Castle…

Which was huge. There were beautiful grassy hills with white and yellow daffodils planted into them, where the castle would then be perched on top, Guy’s Tower making it look as if the castle was an ant, and all the blackbirds and sparrows and blue-tits would perch on top of say a turret, or one of those stone sticky-uppy things that go around the towers of the castle. It was absolutely amazing.

We went into a mini tower called ‘Time Tower’. You sat on some mini green benches and would watch a film about all the different warrior princesses (like Ethelfleda) and how they tried their best to protect Warwick. And guess what? They won! You’d be able to see the Civil Wars that happened on that very screen! And everything would be so cool! Then you go up a narrow corridor of a winding staircase, where you see no benches but pictures. Of princesses, like Ethelfleda that I just mentioned, and then the pictures would start moving, and they’d tell you all about themselves…

We also watched a man and some eagles and vultures. We saw a Bald Eagle, who was medimum in size, one that the man had named Marvin, who was the greatest, most huge one in size, and a little boy one, who was small in size, and whose name I can’t remember.  We probably saw many, many others, but those of which I cannot remember. Apparently, one of them was said to have picked up two ducks, a grass snake, and many other animals. The crowd was cheering, “Do it again! Make him do it again! What about the duckies? Never mind about the duckies!” But unfortunately, that eagle/vulture was fired and so was thrown off into the wild. Anyway, it was unbelievable to me, as the man didn’t say ‘ducks’ very clearly, and I thought he said ‘dogs’, and I pictured one brown puppy and one dalmation puppy being clung onto an eagle’s legs by its ears. It was creepy until I found out that it was actually ducks, and when I pictured woofing dogs it didn’t really fit in with an eagle holding some dogs instead of some quacking ducks.

We also went in a playground. It was really, really fun! Katie has Disfractia, though, but because we kind of helped her out with the zipwire and Wrest Park, she was galloping towards it when we found out that there was one in the back of the playground. We went really fast, until some little annoying and mean people came along. The youngest one, who was six, always got bullied by the older ones. In fact, she got kicked, punched and spat on. MOTTO SO FAR: What is wrong with their parents? I mean – SERIOUSLY??? BACK TO STORY – And then one of them decided to get three blackcurrent and apple Fruit-Shoots and poured the contents down the best slide there. Then they used it as a ‘water-slide’ and slid down it until their school uniforms were absoloutely covered in the stuff. Then the oldest girl said to the youngest girl, “Well, you’re six and I’m seven so shut up,” and I felt as if to say, “Well, as she’s six, as you’re seven and as I’m eight, which I am, are you wishing for me to tell you to shut up?” But I decided not to…just in case.

Then a man came along with a speaker who had seen the sticky slide and the juice bottles at the bottom, and we had to tell him who it was, where he then thanked us, and solved the case of the Blackcurrent and Apple Juice…
