The Pride Of Our Lion…

July 31, 2013June 17, 2021

Our unexpectedly hot Sunday was spent soothing our cabin fever at the zoo.

Delicious Little Adventurers tempted toothy predators, whilst others swam for the rocks…

Hot, grumpy Dragons asked for Dadda cuddles in the breezy shade of the trees…

Slushy, icy, sherbet treats were smooshed against thirsty little lips and dripped down white shirts…

…And when naptime loomed for the smallest of our tribe, we adopted a fierce little lion cub to take home…

…one that reminds me of his Dadda…

…one that’s learning, proudly, to find his own roar.

Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts.

HOTEL COLLOSEO, EUROPA-PARK, GERMANY

I’ve stayed in some very impressive hotels in my life so far – and some that have disappointed me very much. I never get my hopes up before I’ve opened the door to my room and stepped inside because appearances are so often deceiving. The most expensive hotels aren’t necessarily the most luxurious or the…

Birdworld Nostalgia: Part I

This Summer Jensen Indiana spent his first “big boy adventure away from home” with Granny and Grandad in the Midlands. I was equally delighted and heartbroken over this ~ firstly I was proud of him that he didn’t feel the need to call me at all, he was clearly having too much fun, but secondly…

I SAW HIS FACE, NOW I’M A BELIEVER [THE NATURAL HISTORY MUSEUM]

Call me Thomas, but despite my 37 years on this planet, for some reason I’ve never really actually believed that there were indeed dinosaurs on this planet. I’ve seen them in Ice Age, I’ve watched (and adored) Jurassic Park, Night at the Museum, even the Dinotopia TV series, but something about the whole T-Rex thing…

Hallowe’en Roundup: Tulley’s Farm Festival

Still catching up whilst simultaneously furiously hatching plans for Christmas, here’s more of our Hallowe’en fun this year at Tulley’s Farm. I could come up with a whole list of boring excuses including a little bit of blog burnout, a lot of germs and so on, but let’s not go there. Let’s just say that…

Tornado Springs at Paultons Park

Hey Friends! We *finally* made it to Paultons Park to see the all new Tornado Springs area of the park after the cancelled Press Launch last year – and it did not disappoint. Paultons Park as a whole looked beautifully maintained and updated, and with the sun shining, we met my brother and sister in…

PRESS DAY AT PEPPA PIG WORLD!

We live in a very sleepy, old-fashioned, market town called Romsey. When I meet new people at conferences and networking events, and we make small talk, inevitably they’ll ask where I’ve traveled from. Romsey draws a blank look, but say, “I live ten minutes from Peppa Pig World”, there are nods all around. And that’s because…
