For the Love of Peppa

In stark contrast with yesterday, today rocked. Maybe the best day of the trip. And where were we? The Holy Land. Peppa World in Southampton.

This is the perfect age for Peppa. Simple, slow stories about a delightful family of talking hogs. In a town where the teacher is a french gazelle, the father is a professional muddle jumper and a lady rabbit does practically every other job. Talk about carrying a society.

Peppa World is a perfect amusement park. It has rides, things to see, themed snacks, and an appropriate amount of things to buy. More importantly, it's commited to the bit. Everything from the ground, to the flowers, to the background music is on theme. It's escapism at its best.

And for our two girls: total immersion. They were lost in the stories and in the characters. While they skipped out on meeting Peppa herself (mascots are unwelcome at the current moment), we were present for an exciting announcement...

The Pigs welcomed a new baby into the world! THE DAY WE VISITED!
