We took the dogs out and then had arranged to go to the zoo.  My sister and my niece and family were on their way to Belgium for a holiday but were stopping off for the day before continuing their journey tomorrow. The kids like the zoo, well, we do too. Mal and I renewed our annual tickets. It is well worth it for us.

The very beautiful Arina(my favourite) was outside.


A lot of the animals were inside when it started to rain. We had taken a picnic and had to take shelter when it did start raining.

Further round we saw the new tiger which has arrived from London Zoo, for their breeding programme. This one was much more aggressive than Arina, even though it was being hand fed lumps of meat.

After the zoo, back to ours and they all wanted to see Mal’s allotment.

We rounded off the evening eating fish and chips on the quay. They do the BEST fish and chips! Marion and co then headed off to Folkestone.
