Location: Mummy’s House

Mummy’s house is where I’m living  for the first month of my trip. It’s very nice, and I live their with a number of other people (Arthur being one of them). The house has four or five bedrooms, most of which have a few beds in. My room has three beds in, though I’m blessed to have the room to myself. There is a main bathroom which most of the family use, with a shower in it (English toilet). Again I am very privileges to have an en-suite which has a English toilet and a shower, which is connected to a water heater, so I even get a warm shower in the evenings!

When they first build and move into the house, there was grassland (or tea-land, I’m not quite sure) all around the house, but in recent years more people have started to build houses around them. But the view is still really nice, with the hills in the distance, and its peaceful compared being near the road, or the city centre (if you ignore the 30db of notice coming from all the crickets and insects that starts as soon as the sun sets!)

I’m well looked after by mummy and the rest of the girls in the house, I have four meals (if I’m at home) each day, and my washing is done for me (well, it might be, I haven’t had anything come back yet . . .), so it’s better than a hotel from that respect. We have a few of the grandchildren staying with us at the moment so I get to play with a few of them when I have some spare time which is great fun. Veggietales fans will be pleased to know it’s made its way over hear, and Disney’s “A Christmas Carol” is a favourite of the kids, despite the fact it’s August (but who doesn’t like singing Christmas songs all year around!)
