Puppet Barge

Today Milo and I went to see a puppet show, 'Mr Rabbit Meets Brer Santa', on a barge - the Puppet Barge. There's a canal very close to us (in the area known as Little Venice for obvious reasons) and the Puppet Barge is moored here during the winter. Although Milo was a bit nervous about he puppets (he thought they might be scary) he actually loved it and exclaimed 'Mummy! It's a rabbit' when Brer Rabbit entered the stage. He then kept up a constant stream of commentary throughout the whole performance - 'What's going to happen now?', 'Where are they going?', 'Naughty Fox!', 'Ooooh! Stars!' and then after about 40 minutes when he was losing concentration a bit and was trying to walk towards the stage (very loudly), 'Mummy! Don't grab my arm!' He was lots of fun though and really enjoyed the show.
