We all walked the three dogs and then headed for Howletts. We were so lucky because we saw one of the vets and keepers in with Arina.

I have to say Arina is my favourite as we saw her the first day she was in public view as a baby. She has been hand reared and has brittle bone and has already had several operations. Because of her brittle bone she will never be able to go in with any other tigers, so the keepers try and keep her amused.

Then the gorillas were very close as the large Silver back was being given some medicine.

The vet was busy, he was then in with the European wolves. He was giving them their worming tablets. Evidently the zoo staff had previously given the wolves their vaccinations and now they won’t go near them!

We were very lucky seeing so much going on and had hoped to see the new Baby Black Rhino but he was indoors. There were notices up saying that he wouldn’t be outside all the time. But here he is…

We had a really lovely day, Scarlet and Jack love all the animals as much as we do and we all have season tickets!


I was planning on cooking when we got home but we were all weary and the previous night I had fallen over. There is a small step between the hall and the living room and somehow I misjudged it and went flat. So, I really ached all over and my knee was badly bruised. Mal suggested we went into Canterbury to eat and asked the twins where they would like. They seem to love International food, so we went to Super Noodle. Very good food and the waiting staff there are lovely. It was a good thing we went when we did as by the time we had finished our starters, the whole restaurant was full. It’s very popular.

I don’t know how the kids still kept going but they did.

Thought for the Day – “A persons own family is , without doubt, the greatest wealth that we will ever possess. Treasure every moment and take the time to ensure that the story you create is one that you will be proud of and look back on with a huge smile.”
