Thanks to my friends

Well, I never expected this! I've managed to gain a lot of friends on Facebook, and my good friend Sue even gave me some seeds to keep warm.

There have been an awful lot of people finding me, but some also getting confused. If you get here and don't know where to look, just keep reading down this blog, because I have listed all the places I've been to. Then you just need to work out where I am now!

More pressing matters - snow.

I'm tucked up nice and warm, but I think everyone at the House has been getting quite cold. I feel sorry for them. All the squirrels have taken to their special hiding place, and I hope they'll be against the cold.

How very exciting for me

It seems that I chose the right place to hide!

Already a good number of people have found me, and I hope that they are on the way to finding my friends as well. It just shows that people have clever brains, and can work out a few clues.

So for anyone reading this blog looking for help in their quest ahead, I would say that you should feel free to ask for help, as sometimes the thinking power of a few people can be more than just one. And stay focused on what you need to achieve. Sometimes the answer is staring you in the face.

Good luck everyone!

A trip to the east

I am quite settled in to my new house now. I had a brief journey, only about a mile to the east, to a place called Whiteadder Water. I found this great picture from Your Local Web, taken by Lisa Jarvis.

It wasn't like this today. Cold, biting wind whipping against my feathers made me only stay for a short while before the quick journey back west to my little home.

It did make me wonder how people are going to find me here. Hopefully they will read through my blog and realise where I have been, and where I am now. The problem I have is that if I simply say where I am, then who know who will find me?

What I need to make sure of is that anyone who does find is a friend. And hopefully friends can work out the clues.

Something amazing

I discovered something amazing today.

It turns out that no more than 200 metres from where I am staying is the border with England! I could cross over there and back every single day if I wanted to. Okay, so it might be pretty boring, but I found it fascinating.

Spent some time today with a squirrel called Brent.

There he is in a photo I found on a site called Photobucket, taken by someone called RadioGirl_Montana.

Anyway, he told me about this new thing that people are using called Twitter. Sounded pretty old to me, but it turns out that it's a new way for people to talk to eachother on the internet, rather than using emails.

Sounds fascinating. I'm pretty sure that the other members of my team will be using it, as they are all great fans of this new technology stuff. Hopefully this will make it easier to find where Santa is.

Flights to the coast

Getting used to my new home now. Had a relaxing morning, then a quick fly out to the coast. Turned out to be a mistake thanks to the weather, but I got home quickly!

Home is now nesting in some old brickwork, and I've managed to find some pieces of sheep wool to big out the hole and make it warm and cosy. Visitors to this place die down over the winter, although I did hear people saying that there is going to be a Christmas fair on the 4th.

Who knows, maybe Santa himself will turn up then!

For now, I keep myself warm, talk to the squirrels, and see if I can pick up any clues from them. Anything I find out I'll post on here in case anyone is helping to find Santa.

I really hope we can find him soon.

Home at last!

After several weeks of travelling, I have decided on my home until we head back to Lapland.

It was something of journey to get here, flying North East from my last stop. I noticed on my way over a couple of Asda stores, and it was good to see my sponsors as I flew across the open spaces of Scotland.

It was a long journey, and once again my wings are aching, but it was definitely worth coming here. I think there is more chance that I will pick up clues and be able to help people from here, rather than waiting in the West of Scotland.

I stopped briefly at a town called Selkirk:

And then flew on again to my final destination. More to follow, and hopefully I will find some more information!

A momentous occassion

Something special happened today. A fly to the West, and I ended up at my final destination. A haven off the motorway, this was the silent and calming Riverside Mill in Lockerbie.

After the previous few days, this was a happy place to travel to. Gliding on the wind, viewing the traffic down below me, then landing in a beautful forest away from the noise.

I flew around the forest, buffeted by the winds, but feeling free. It felt like this was the end of my journey, and that now I had a decision to make. Where to stay?

I needed to be easy to find, in a place that people go to, but also somewhere where information could be passed over to me.

This wasn't the place, although a squirrely I met called Martha was very friendly and helped me spend a pleasant day in the forest. We nibbled on berries and nuts, and chased eachother through the trees. But this is the kind of place I could live, not stay for a couple of weeks.

I will decide over the next couple of days where I should go, but the important factor is I need to be somewhere that gets a lot of visitors. Then I know that I shall pick up any information that gets passed around.
