Farm Experience & Zoo with Adrian, Pat & Mags

 
What a wonderful time we had on our holiday!  We had first hand experience on the farm, feeding the animals and milking the cows.  Our souls were warmed as our fluffy friends came to say hello!
 
 
We had a fabulous day at Colchester Zoo.  We waved at the huge lions and watched them stride proudly around their enclosure.  We went to the African Plains and greeted the elephants, giraffes, zebras and ostriches.  We saw lemurs, wallabies, monkeys, snakes, insects, hippos and many more amazing animals.  We even got to hold the giant stick insects and see the cockroaches up close!
 
 
 
Our days at the farm were brilliant.  The man showing us around was very friendly and told us lots about the animals.  We fed the cows, sheep & donkeys. There were llamas, Shetland ponies and a lovely pond with ducks and geese.  We laughed at the chickens who ran around enthusiastically! 
 
 
 
 
We had a brilliant morning at Barleylands where we were entertained by Ray at the Leather Centre!  He kindly gave us feathers to keep.  We saw rabbits of all shaped and sizes and more goats, sheep and cows!  The museum was very interesting and we spent lots of time looking round.
 
 
 
We visited the Promenade Park at Maldon which was lovely as the sun was shining brightly.  On our way home we went to Tropical Wings Zoo where we got to know some more fascinating animals!
 
 
What a fabulous and interesting holiday!
