Just thought I'd share a few pictures of our nursery school trip to Owlcatraz last week. We (Christopher and I) went together for moral support and were given two children to look after when one would have been plenty. We saw the usual petting zoo animals, including Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons, whose first words to us were "I'm feeding the chickens over here because if they go near the pig she'll eat them. You think I'm joking? Well let me tell you it's happened more than once. Did you know a pig can strip a human carcass in a few hours, leaving nothing behind but the top of your skull and your boots?"
We then turned around to see all the children lined up along the side of the pig's enclosure, hands underneath the post and rail fencing, tickling the pig under the chin. Two heart attacks later, it appeared that the pig was more interested in eating frozen hot cross buns than chipolata fingers. Thankfully (or sadly, depending on your take on badly behaved toddlers) no children were harmed in the making of this blog.
Jocelyn touches a big animal for the first time ever. I was so proud!
The child with her finger up her nose is called Zara. I like to think she is channelling the Royal family in this shot.
Best friends Jocelyn and Iliana
Jocelyn and Iliana talking to 'Storm'.
The child with her finger up her nose is called Jocelyn. She is channelling her father in this shot.
And finally Jocelyn stroked the pony and even fed him some grass.
Hickstead, Blenheim, Badminton, Burghley....Joss Scott is on the way.
