What’s Georgie doing?
She is updating her Travel Journal !
Georgie likes to keep a journal of the places she has visited. Its fun to do and great to share with friends.
Every time Georgie goes away on holiday she starts a new journal. Her journal is like a diary. It is a record of where she has been, what she has seen, meals, weather, friends ……. just about anything and everything !
Sometimes Georgie writes in the journal but many of the pages are filled with pictures and things stuck in.
During the day Georgie will collect ‘memories’ and then later stick them into her journal. A memory might be an empty sugar packet from a bar they stopped at for a drink. Or a receipt from a train ride or restaurant or entrance to a zoo or pleasure park. Maybe an advertisement from a festival or the business card from a hotel. A sweet wrapper, a postcard, a shell from the beach.
Georgie is never bored! On a journey or sightseeing trip she is always looking for something to write about or a ‘memory’ to stick into in her journal. She takes photographs too so she can add these when she gets back home.
Her journal is very useful if they go to the same place another time because it contains useful information like how long it took to get there and the restaurants they liked or didn’t like and the festivals and weather and the contact details of friends they made.
At the moment Georgie is at home but it’s the summer holidays and so she is keeping a journal of what she has done each day. Yesterday was the last day of her village festa so this morning she is sticking in the little poster to remind her and jotting down what she ate and the people she saw and the funny things that happened.
