Snake and skunk

I will start with photos that Mike and Ann, the couple on the landscape workshop, sent to Caroline. They were delighted and their photos are better than the ones I posted yesterday.

Tina had an appointment early and then sorted some paperwork. Then we went and had lunch at a pub in Bridlington where Tina can claim a discount courtesy of Octopus energy. I had the vegan option, very tasty too.

It rained while we were in there but Tina had worked out that it should pass and we set off for Filey Bird park again. They hadn’t got out passes ready but recognised us. A lot of the animals seemed to be resting, but took some pics at the start.

More success when we got to the reptile house, a cute chameleon put on a show.

Great pics of the snake, especially the one where it opened its mouth wide.

We wandered on and took more photos.

We went to the cafe and had a drink, thought this was a great idea for an old shoe tack and some shoes.

Then we went for another wander. This lovely flower by the pond.

The staff were going to feed a couple of animals, the one I forget the name of that we watched last time, and then it was going to be the skunk. We just stayed by the skunk enclosure and got to see him with no one else around.

Forgot to say they had left the shed snake skin in the enclosure, which was interesting, and we passed the beautiful cat on the way ou.

I hosed the garden this evening and took a photo of this lovely double hollyhock.

The very large sunflower plant had blown over and snapped. The open head broke off but there are six more. It was quite wilted as you can see, but now, an hour or so later it is picking up, so fingers crossed.

Enough waffle for one day.
