Today is Tariq’s 18th birthday. I have no idea what he will be doing as he is in the Marines, in their sick bay as he is still waiting to return to full fitness following his leg injury. Happy Birthday Tariq!
Mal and I went to Quex Park. We had tickets to go into the museum, the gardens and also the house. We hadn’t been in the house before as it isn’t open all that often. I can’t say I am too impressed with all the stuffed animals in the museum that Percy Powell Cotton brought back to the UK. However scientists are now getting a lot of information from their skins and as one of the guides told me he exchanged their meat to the locals for artefacts which he also collected. However I do find his anthropology very interesting. Percy was a hunter and explorer and embarked on over 28 expeditions throughout Africa and Asia between 1887 and 1939.
We also visited the 6 rooms in the house which are open to the public.
I did enjoy ‘Wild Alaska Live’ in the evening. We followed this with World War One remembered with readings from Ypres, where my grandfather lost his life. Michael Morpurgo read War Horse, quite a coincidence as I have just read three of his books and now given them to Ollie.
Thought for the Day – “Spread kindness to one person a day. Imagine the amount of happiness you would dispense in a lifetime.”
