BACK FROM SOMERSET

Well my friends, I'm back (boo, hoo!)

What a fabulous time me and Little'Un had!!!!

At this point I would like to send BIG HUGS AND KISSES to Big Bruv and Sis'-in-Law for giving us this wonderful holiday and taking us to all the places we went to. WE LOVE YOU BOTH LOADS. THANKYOU SO MUCH!!!!!

.................................................................................................................................................................................. The Sound of Music was amazing. To tell you the truth, it was so good I shed quite a few tears. Sometimes music affects me that way, I'm just a big softie, I cry watching films too!

Little'Un was singing along to all the songs, she was totally absorbed and oblivious to everything else. (I had to poke her quite a few times before she even noticed I was offering her chockies!)
I was as excited as she was about London, it was my first time on the Underground too. I had been to London before but that was when I was about fourteen on a trip from school (many, many years ago). We finished the evening by having a meal at a restaurant just across from the London Palladium. Little'Un had scampi and I of course, had a BLUE steak which was done to perfection. YUM!

Seems Max WAS taken to work and was tied to Hubs chair leg in the office.
Max leapt all over us when we came back, he is curled up by my feet now as I am typing this post.

Must admit, Hubs did well, the cockatiel and the fish are actually still alive!

Here are a few of the many, many pics I took at Longleat Safari Park in Wiltshire/Wessex UK, (which is owned by Alexander Thynn the 7th Marquess of Bath) actually, I'm quite proud of how they turned out, click on them if you want to see them better.

There is a programme all about Longleat on our UK TV, it shows how they look after the animals and are helping sustain the populations.

By the way, the Ostrich is called Trevor!

The Gorilla (I can't remember his name at the moment) has his own little house on Gorilla Island in the middle of the lake and believe it or not, his own colour TV! We were told he likes watching cartoons best.

They used to have a white tiger but unfortunately it has passed away since the last time I visited, as has the female Gorilla, so the male spends most of his time watching TV (sound familiar?). The photo was brilliant, it's the first time I had seen him up so close and he actually ran at us all slapping his chest! Fantastic!

Visitors are able to feed the deer in the park by hand and some cheeky ones stick their heads right in through the car window!

If you have never visited Longleat, I suggest you do, it's a wonderful experience no matter what your age. There isn't just the grand house and safari park, there are all kinds of play areas and attractions, cafes and shows, which is why we went on the Monday and again on the Friday, so we got to see almost everything.

Love Azzy
