Cute Little Animals

Carl is giving me some 'private' while I write this.. aww he's cute when he forgets his English :)

Laziest Lion ever...

Today we went to Blair Drummond Safari Park because we've been meaning to go for a little day out there for ages and there was no excuse today really as the sun was out and shining again. So after a waiting in a bit of a queue of traffic for a few miles (everyone seemed to have the same idea as us) we finally got there. I had a wee bit of a panic attack when entering the drive-through reserve, paranoid that a bunch of monkeys would jump the car and attack us and this wasn't helped when I read the sign saying "If the rhinos approach your car, drive away slowly..." But the drive through ended up to be rather uneventful.

Simplessss ;)

We had a wander through the rest of the park for a couple of hours and had an ice-cream or two. Think the little meerkats have to be my favourite, so adorable. I want one.

Oh there were Elephants too

Ermm what else? Apart from seeing chimps and elephants and zebras and giraffes, we just had a nice little walk around and got some sun, which I think I needed. I am proud to say I am now a shade of 'off pasty-white' and maybe a wee bit burnt on the top of my chest but just a little bit.

Doune Castle

We then went up to Doune to see the castle, mainly because Carl wanted to say he'd been to Doune and because we were going to watch Monty Python Holy Grail and found out the castle had been in it. Sort of a bit movie geekish a little, but nevermind, its a nice castle.

And a nice picture from the top of it :) We went for a bit of food after that and now back up at the cottage. Just watched 'Life in a Day', coincidentally exactly one year on from when it was all filmed. Quite a good film, bit emotional in some parts, but amazing if you think about it. Off to bed soon for us I think, we're absolutely knackered, been a long day in the sun, but worth every minute. Another really good day and I'm still feeling very happy. Work tomorrow though, it will all change... x
