What a brilliant afternoon Nem and I had at Chester Zoo. We were members of the Zoo for about 12 consecutive years when the children were younger- people joked that the Hollindales LIVED at Chester Zoo... well I have now rejoined so I can go and see the baby elephants whenever I want.... this world famous Zoo is right on our doorstep so nipping in for half an hour will be no problem whatsoever.

After we had measured ourselves we were ready to visit little Hari and Bala Hi Way, male and female elephant calves born a couple of months apart. Hari's mum is Sithami. I remember Sithami being born on my 40th birthday.... now she is a mum too, AMAZING!
It was hard to tear ourselves away, they were so entertaining to watch, just learning how to use their little trunks and widdling all over the place.... so, so, so, SOOOOOOOO CUTE.
But there was a whole zoo to see and only a few hours.
We were intrigued by this sign so carried on walking...
A PAINTED DOG!
Spectacled Bear
A very young comparethemarketdotcom.
Baby giraffe was born in October.
We watched Tortie climb the log... he was QUICK!
What a pity this glass was so dirty. Mummy Orang-utan was showing off her baby to us all
...but even they were not as cute as Hari and Bala Hi Way
Lovely, gentle, wonderful, adorable animals.
Thank you for a lovely Mothering Sunday, Drakey :)
It was a good weekend all round because NixenPixen was winning a cross country medal in Thirsk, Cub was having a second article published (see it HERE) and Drakey was living it up with Danny's The Script at the Echo Arena, Liverpool.
COVENTRY CITY got their ELEVENTH away win, beating their record of ten in 1970 and Bunbury's BETH TWEDDLE who attended Queen's School in Chester WON DANCING ON ICE
...oh....and we have booked our summer holiday. Still got to sort a car out though, grrrrr.
BUT WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND WHOOPIWOOOOOOOOO!
