The Visit of Po the Panda

This post is very very overdue...Po actually visited us at the end of September 2011, so the write up will be a bit sketchy! I have some nice pics though which should give a flavour of his trip to London.

Po arrived just in time for my birthday and came out with us to celebrate. Here he is with Hannah at the restaurant!

He was also able to come with me for my birthday present trip to see two plays at the Globe Theatre. 

The stage, which was recreated to look as it would have done in Shakespeare's time

With the groundlings (poorer people who pay the cheap rate to stand and watch the plays)

Waiting for the evening performance

During his time here we went on quite a few educational visits and workshops

At Hatfield House for an audience with Queen Victoria

Looking at the Henry Moore sculptures in the grounds of Hatfield House

At the Royal Institution for a lecture about the universe

             And of course, Po joined in all Hannah's every day work and activities.
