Alison's Blog

I'm Alison and I'm myself, obviously. My sister is Rebecca, and she is annoying and cute. (Mostly annoying.) Rebecca is a year 4 at Frankley School,and she is in Tuhono. My dad is Robert and he is a music teacher for lots of schools. Dad plays lots of bass and double bass, he can play ukelele and guitar to! He can read music and is really talented. My mum is Sheryl and lives in Dunedin. Mum is and English teacher at Taieri Collage in Mosgiel. She is really annoying when she corrects me in my bad grammar. (I don't mind much!) Mum is getting married in the holidays, and me and Rebecca get to go down to see! (YAY!) I have a half-brother named Shay from Mum's side of the family. He's turning TWENTY this year! (I really can't believe it!) Shay works at McDonald's in New Plymouth.I also have a half-sister named Abigail from Dad's side of the family. Abby lives in Rangiora and is fifteen this year. Abby is really athletic and does a lot of soccer and running.
