Macao somewhere??  I can't quite remember but I think it's in the Portuguese area north of Macao.

 Rehearsing... Keep calm and point your toes!
 Meeting Maria.

Maria teaching the children about singing... Brigitta (Tilly) taking notes.

The Storm...
Raindrops on roses
And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Dancing and singing at Captain Von Trapp's 'Ball'

The Wedding.

We enjoyed the Business Class lounge at Mascot, very peaceful and enjoyable.

We had a couple of hours wait in Hong Kong for the Jet Ferry to Taipa where Tomo would pick us up.

Christmas Day.... Yay!!!

After the presents had been opened and breakfast was eaten it was into the Venetian to Tom's Office to help prepare Christmas Goody bags for the children in the Sound of Music...
Abigail very carefully printed the name of each cast member on these golden bells which were full of sweeties.
The name of the child and the name of who they were playing.

Programme's and Golden bells packed in with more goodies for the cast.

Had to take a photo of this sign which was near the Staff Entrance to the Venetian.

Brigitta... Matilda Griffiths.

The Captain, Maria with Von Trapp children...  What a wonderful Christmas Day...


Christmas Lunch on the other hand was celebrated on Boxing day!  Emma did a brilliant job shopping at Marks and Sparks for the perfect English Christmas meal!
They even sold Pigs in Blankets!
Wonderful Christmas Meal Emma, thank you so much.


Then there's Betsy! 
Betsy is a beautifully behaved dog who loves nothing more than sitting on one of the children's laps or being taken for a walk... David took Betsy for a couple of walks with a plastic bag to pick up her droppings  :-)

Stacking the dish washer!

Playing with Play Doh and filming themselves... see the Pizza they made in the bottom left hand corner and the sandwich next to it.

David and Emma!

Dessert Time... another couple of goodies from Marks & Spencer.

Abi, Tilly and I playing with our Electronic Devices :-)

Then it was time for UNO!  Rather a loud game I've discovered, lots of shouting goes on...

Soon the rest of the gang joined...  I have to tell you I did giggle when I heard Emma saying when checking the cards she'd been dealt...  'Oh there's not only Blue cards...'
It was the first time she's played UNO.
