So, two weeks ago we went to Devon for a short weekend break. It wasn't planned that way but it turned into 'Animal Magic'. All that was missing was Johnny Morris and Terry Nutkins. For those of you of a much younger vintage, click on their names to find out more about these fine gentlemen greatly missed.
The monkeys were great although my expectations were perhaps a tad high as I was wanting all sorts from them (at least one pirouetting!?!) but I think the weather was perhaps a little warm for them to be giving us all a 'performance'.
The hawks and their handlers were fantastic if a little scary (the hawks not the handlers) and the strange face I have below is because the American Eagle weighed half a stone...
Finally, you can't really get any cuter than a red squirrel. I was delighted to have finally seen one at last and this one was the supermodel of red squirrels by being on performance. So much prettier than its cousin grey.
The photos speak for themselves but just in case you were interested, links to the places we visited are here:
Monkey World (Dorset)
Hawkridge Birds of Prey Centre
Red Squirrel encounter at Escot Park
Apologies for the short blog post but I'm not 100% - new chemo cycle has wiped me out a little and emotionally I'm still drained. I'm holding on to the belief that by being strong now, things will get better.
