Monkey World

Thank you to Granny and Granddad for a great Christmas present which we decided to use today, tickets to Monkey World! Monkeys galore, including chimpanzees, orangutans, lemurs, capucins, woolley gibbons to name a few. All of them have been rescued from the international pet trade, medical research facilities or have been rescued from ill treatment. They are now fantastically cared for at Monkey World and we all had a wonderful day watching them all feeding, playing and even saw a chimpanzee pick his nose. Much to the children's disgust (thankfully) he ate it!!

Highly recommended for everyone. Helps if you like monkeys though!

Bethany baboon

This grumpy little fella was rescued from a science lab in Chile where he and 87 others were kept for years in single cages and had never seen daylight. Now he spends all day playing with his friends, inside or out as he wishes. He was busy eating couscous and monkey nuts! What's there to be grumpy about?

From one set of monkeys to another!

Recent Adventures

Owlcome Home

After a hard day's work I came home to Oliver desperately eager for a cycle ride to burn off some steam, so after dinner we took our two wheeled mobiles and travelled on the new relief road cycle path. The best part of the journey was not being almost toppled off my bike by my son, but when we came home we were greeted by a baby owl on our doorstep, it almost seemed like he wanted to come in doors because our house is so eventful. But he soon decided to take the hiding option.

In his hiding place

"Look in to my eyes"

Cold Water

A trip to the Sea Life Centre with Uncle John & Auntie Laura was a great way to begin the day. After seeing the Sea Horses, Penguins and Turtles we took a side step to the amusement rides.

Mummy back seat driving again!

Is the water COLD?

What do you think Jacob?

Lets ask Oliver & Bethany

I guess someone is finding it funny !
