Floating around Canary Wharf on a GoBoat

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I have driven some boats before, primarily during our yearly holiday, however we have not tried out GoBoat before right on Canary Wharf! When they reached out, they explained we could have up to eight people in the boat. As someone who has not fully seen these types of boats in real life, I invited six of my friends into London to try out the boat, assuming we’d be cozy at eight people.

Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas at the Garrick Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] We do get along to a lot of pantomimes during the holiday season, but Maddie Moate’s Very Curious Christmas at the Garrick Theatre is a Christmas-themed play that doesn’t have any aspect of panto in it – an entertaining break from the traditional! This play is for a younger audience, primarily engaging people Robin’s page and younger. With that said, myself, Amelia and even Kai were interested in a few of the tricks and experiments that were on display.

Jack and the Beanstalk at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch

[Ad- gifted experience] It’s Christmas time, and one of the very traditional things to do in England is go to a Panto. They are such a magical experience, so I was very excited to be invited back to the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, where I saw my first Panto, this time for Jack and the Beanstalk. Obviously, Jack and the Beanstalk is a classic fairy tale, with a story everyone knows and loves. At the Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, before the play, we actually checked out their exhibition of drawings for the Dame’s dress, which included an entry from Amelia! She had entered and it was good enough to be presented on the showcase, which is always such a honor.
