This is our first trip to Chester zoo in ages! (Due to house things (things that wont be mentioned just yet!)) Was very cold, my legs were frozen and my nose could have rivalled Rudolph’s. Still was a nice trip out and managed to observe some interesting Cheetah behaviour… there could be baby Cheetahs on the way… “Rita” just has to choose one of those lovely looking males, someone call Cilla!
Tess Bear in 2011
01.04
A few shots of the lovely Tess bear looking beautiful as always. She was not impressed at having a flash go off in front of her!
Donna Nook
12.30
A revisit had been in our diaries for a full year and we stuck to the date. Thankfully all the snow made the seals look even better! Fab place to go, if a little far… is in our diaries for next year too
Dunham Massey – Trip 2
12.28
A second trip to Dunham Massey was in order and this time Parry came. The deer were very obliging, again!
Tatton Park
12.27
Another first trip, this time to Tatton Park. Again a very nice place, I could have spent a long time there. Itll be really nice in Summer when the gardens are in full bloom… macro anyone?!
Dunham Massey
12.23
This was my first trip to Dunham Massey. Its quite a nice place, the deer are how I imagine the deer at Lyme Park wouldve been not that long ago. Much more docile and much more ready to approach people.
Lyme Park Rut Walk
12.21
“A rut walk?” I hear you say. “With a piccie of a rare breed cow?”. Well there wasnt much rutting and this is sort of, almost, nearly, not quite the same thing!
Fireworks
12.20
We splashed out on some nice fireworks for my sisters 16th b’day. Apparently they could be seen some distance away, unfortunately no car alarms were set off, sigh!
