Penhaven at play!

 22 December 2022 -2 January 2023 Our last house sit for this adventure was from 22 to 30 December in Twickenham. A small apartment in a secure block looking after Ollie, a 13 year old cat for a young couple in their 30s. They are an American and a Danish couple going back to his family in Denmark for Xmas. We were kindly left a bottle of bubbles and some English treats from chocs, Pringles and Xmas mince tarts!  We enjoyed being only a 25 minute walk from Jade's partner Sam's parents home to enjoy fun family times. We had great meals, plenty of games and laughter! Plus enjoyed having a night or 2 of Jade staying with us including Xmas Eve. Had a great Palmer family zoom covering Brisbane, London, Wellington and Thames on Christmas morning - Sam walked over to our House-sit to be part of that. Christmas brunch with Jade. Christmas dinner with the Harrison family (Sam's family). Enjoyed looking around Twickenham and Teddington. Great marble sculpture in Yorke House Gardens i

 13 December 2022- 22 December 2022 Paul and I went to the musical-Newsies. It was great! Set in New York in 1860 based on a true story of teenage newspaper sellers fight for justice. The dancing was aerobic, energetic and amazing, the choreography fantastic as was the stage setting. You walked through a scene to get to your seats, it was held at Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre. Very cool stage set up! I went along with Becs to Matilda's end of term Carol Concert. Enjoyed the enthusiasm of the 5-8 year Olds - so cute! Paul enjoyed a day at the RAF Museum. Paul found it interesting to see how far flight has developed since the first flight in 1903 by the Wright brothers. With Sam and Jade we went to the longest running show "The Mousetrap". It is a murder mystery play by Agatha Christie. The Mousetrap opened in London's West End in 1952. Was a great show and Sam was the best detective- but we can't tell you who dunnit!! Waiting for Mousetrap to start at St Martin&#
