We both had the day off today, so we ventured back over the border into Norfolk and visited a very nice ‘Wildlife Garden’ that we’ve fancied for a while. It was very nice. The entry fee suggested a big zoo but the reality was more like a small private collection. Still a very enjoyable day though.
There were some macaques with a six-week old baby, that made Philippa go all goo-goo. Then there were some exotic sparrows that had a collection of little chicks that made Philippa go all ga-ga. Then finally we saw a family of otters that had her going completely coo-coo.
By now she was leaning with her head on my shoulder and her arm interlocked in mine, and was almost purring like a cat that knew pregnancy would make its life complete.
We’d been in the house about five minutes before she said “Shall we go to bed early?”
I thought “No chance, love, I’m not falling into that trap” and I took myself off for a bike ride.
Momma didn’t raise no fool….
