| York Trip - October 2008 |
Thursday 30th October - Arrival time from 11:30am to give
people time to get there from all over. Once we had all arrived we
made our way to
a quaint little coffee shop where we all sat chatting. From here we went
to queue up outside the Dungeon at which point Lofty and jankers got
talking to a women whom had been dead for 500 years (can't take them
anywhere!), once inside it was very, very dark but not so dark that
I couldn't see all
the
pupils
looking
in
doors
that they
shouldn't be! We all wandered around in and out of the different rooms
where they had people playing the roles of their given person from the
past, all in all we had a great time in there but maybe not a place for
scene players to visit as it does give you allsorts of ideas....ok, it
gave me alot of ideas <ewg> |
| From here we went into the street exhibit with it's shops from alchemy to tea shop, pawn brokers, hat shop, carriages, posting house and coach office complete with it's carriage (titch was just coming out to go and see the fire engine!), we had a look in the toy shop marvelling at how the toys used to look and last alot longer than they do nowadays, across the way was the fire establishment again with it's fire engine stood inside. We then moved down to the next door way this was down a small corridor into a school room, at that point there were other visitors viewing but they soon departed (for some strange reason) when we started to look at the desks, chairs and abacus so we were alone in there for a short while <grins> | ![]() |

Justin, Titch and Lofty make themselves
comfy behind the desks. Don't they look at home! The teachers chair was
lovely to sit in at the front of the class next to the blackboard and
abacus. Not sure where Paul and Roddy had disappeared to at this point! |
During this time jankers had wandered off but came rushing in to tell
me to go into the Police Cell exhibit and look in the second drawer down,
I thought he may be playing a practical joke and had put something in there
that would jump out at me but no, it was something even better......a birch
and two pairs of handcuffs ROFL After a discussion we moved into the next
shop, the sweet shop where I bought sugar mice for some of them! We then
walked down into the gift shop and had a little look around before we continued
into the next stage of the museum, this covered toys from the past, war
era, the 60's and the cells all very interesting to view and get some wicked
ideas from too! |
| Zoo trip - July 2008 |
| Wednesday 30th July - Arrive 11pm, met up with Sweet 'P' & Eddie Grimshaw at the entrance, Paul & Ben were late nothing unusual for Paul on that one, still at least he is consistant but not sure how he managed to rope Ben into being with him! Anyway, we went into the nearest cafe for a cup of coffee and pop. Paul & Ben arrived so we had another drink n a chat whilst we waited for Roddy who wasn't far behind. Then we set off in a clockwise circuit of the zoo, first port of call was the elephant house. |

There were quite a few asian elephants wandering about outside, one young elephant thought it good fun to chase two magpies out of its' territory or it may have just wanted to play. Another elephant a little bit older stood close to us chomping on a twig before it meanered upto the smaller one. We then moved on noticing all the bamboo that surround this area, no panda's in the middle of them though <grins> |
As we walked
over a bridge, Titch exclaimed that there was a train, in actuality
it was a monorail taking visitors
around the zoo.
We stopped on the bridge to view some Burmese brow-Antlered deer and
a couple on a footpath beneath us walking their dogs. We then stopped
to look at the Onagers and Camels which had two humps, of course sweet
'p' made a comment at this point something about one of the camels
being old (I won't go into detail!) From here we went to look at the
Condor
he looked rather sad and I felt his abode wasn't large enough for him
to fly about. There were lots of ducks puddling about round people
too. Too which Titch said "Miss, the security here isn't very good some
of the animals have escaped" Silly Boy! We carried on to see the
Coatis who made a little high pitched squeaking noise in the bushes
but were very shy. Walking around the pathways we next came to the
Babirusa,
along to the |
| Okapi's, at which point sweet 'p' said "Have you been here already Miss, that's got stripes!" Of course all of them said the same and I have to say they were rather nice stripes <smiles> Moving on we had discussion about the buffalo which were allegedly dwarf forest buffalo though they looked rather large to me to be dwarf one's, then we moved across the path to look at the giraffe's, the baby one was really cute but had to look up a long way to it's mother lol |

| Along the other side we saw Red River Hogs who apparently use their tails like whips when fighting with the other hogs mmmmm! Then we entered the Tropical realm which was a great building very warm climate with plants and trees, tanks with reptiles in, crocodiles and lots of lovely coloured birds flying around all over. Plus my favourites................... |

Once we had meandered around the tropical realm and at this stage we had lost Titch, Peter and Eddie so Paul had to use his phone to text them such naughty boys wandering off! We ventured round to see the Capuchins, whom had just been fed and we stood watching this one eat his banana when he finished he turned and looked at Ben as if to say, you aren't having any mate ....................> | ![]() |

Once we had re-grouped we made our way to "the spirit of the Jaguar" a lovely building where the jaguars are housed. In the first enclosure we saw the spotted jaguar, a very stunning animal as he walked around ensuring everyone got a view of him. In the next room we were met with a fabulous Black Jaguar sometimes referred to as a Black Panther, Ok yes I was straight there looking for him, he lived in a lot more camouflaged enclosure plenty of greenery and a waterfall, I tried to get a couple of photos as one point he walked right across the front of us but the glass reflected it :( |

Not too worry as Roddy kindly bought me very
own to bring home <smiles> From here we stopped to admire the lovely
fuschia bushes and
plants, though I do have to say at this stage sweet 'p' though it would
be good to get a cutting, he called it "liberating" the plant, I told
him it was stealing! We continued on our way to the "Realm of the Red
Ape" where we saw lots of Orang-utangs some old but there were also
some baby one's swinging on the ropes and one laid in it's hammock
playing
with it's toes. In here there were also some white monkeys and a really
large tank with a python in it, he was asleep which was good as Titch
got rather close. From here we walked along a way to the sealion beach
where two of them were swimming about from one pool to another quite
happy showing how to swim fast and coming up to breath for the crowd.
A little further on was a childrens play area, at this point sweet 'p'
asked if him and titch could go and play on all the swings and climbing
frames I said yes but then he said "you have to come with us" and I quite
politely told him "You do not need me to hold your hand" <grins> After
this we decided it was time for lunch so visited a restaurant and had
some sandwiches. |
| Once we had all finished we walked around and found the tigers, it took us all some convincing Titch that there was one sat in his high perch behind a bush. We did manage to see one that was closer to the fencing around the other side, she was magnificently coloured though again we had trouble getting pics due to the netting surrounding them. Paul and Eddie were stood looking at the marmots and seemed to be quite fascinated with this little rodents.... | ![]() |

We walked on and into a room with some more
frogs in it more of an educational room, as one of the tanks had photographs
of the frogs
which you had to spot and pick which one it was, they of course all
had names. At this stage we managed to name two and the third proved
to be
a quandry to Titch as sweet 'p' and I knew it was Rex due to the shaping
on it's back but he was adamant it wasn't, then sweet 'p' piped up "look
at us three adults stood arguing over a frog!" at which point
we moved away from this tank LMAO Out of this building we walked round
to
see the Lions, a male and female but both were stretched out asleep
and not really bothered that we had gone to see them! After their enclosure
we crossed the path to look at the Pudu's rather strange deer type
animals
with horns though one had only got one horn and I seem to recall one
of the boys saying it must be a unicorn ...silly boy! From here we
went to the kangaroo enclosure, there were quite a few in here of all
ages
but the best was the mother with her joey in her pouch as she laid
down it's legs and tail came popping out. |

Across from these we watched a Cassowary eating leaves
and then moved on around the corner to see the red panada, fortunately
she
popped out to have a look around such a gorgeous colour and expressive
face, she then disappeared in her hole and came out with a baby in
her mouth, quite
a sight to
see
as
she
carried
it along
the tree trunk.
|
Then onto see the cranes and bongo's
but they weren't home, sweet 'p' said "someone must have pinched them
to use as drums!" (very drowl) From
here we saw the Owls, lots of different species all very majestic looking.
|
| We could hear a lot of commotion and as we rounded some bushes we found the otters' these were the one's making all the fuss. Especially the one sat on top of the log, it seemed as if he was telling the others off....sound familiar?? I must admit I do like otters they always seem to have fun and are comical in the way they act when in packs, they always remind me of meerkats too with the expressions on their little faces. These particualr one's seemed to be enjoying themselves in this enclosure which was great to see. |

| Leaving the otters it was decided we should go towards the entrance in order for us to see the meerkats (eddie likes them) so on we went, turning past the camels and we saw a lovely coloured lemur just hangin' around not interested in anything or anyone lol Too the right of this cage there was a large enclosure which housed the cheetahs, whom seemed to be in a rather playful mood as they ran away and then pounced back in at one another, at one point one came speeding toward the barrier and poor Ben jumped back naturally we found this quite amusing :)) |

At this stage we were walking
on a high wooden walkway so could see a lot of the animals in their
respective enclosures such as the
spotted deer (bambi) and asiatic antelope (lion fodder) at the end of
this walkway we came out at the twilight zone this building hosts the
bats.
An amazing place you walk through plastic stripped doors, prior to going
through I turned to the boys and warned them it would be very pungent
and I was not wrong, once inside you do get used to it. But the place
was amazing
all variety of bats were flying around you and as we were in semi-darkness
you were ducking all the time as they were flying at you, skimming past
and skirting around your face. Of course sweet 'p' mentioned something
about me being at home in there!! Outside once more we wandered to the
Capybara and Tapir compound, on to see the spectacled bears who had obviously
gone to the opticians as they weren't home. So instead we carried on to
see the Zebra, Scimitar-horned Oryx and Gemsbok. |
| We passed some more deer and Przewalski's horses and came from behind some bushes to see the black rhino hut, we went inside and one was just leaving (heard I was visiting!) Mind I am not surprised as Justin mentioned before we went something about Rhinos and sjamboks, so I personally think he was making a quick getaway just incase I had any ideas ROFL from here we walked towards the meerkats but realised we had once again lost, Paul, Titch and sweet 'p' so we stopped to wait and wait, we tried to ring them and eventually got through to sweet 'p' and told them to stay where they were. We however, went to see the meerkats ...... |

| The fours of us continued on to view a large rhino though he didn't look to be that old he was still big. Though a very proud looking animal, he meandered over to a bush and attempted to pull some leaves off it too eat then noticed out of the corner of his eye a bird in his enclosure, so he went to investigate and I think he really went to boot it out of there! |

| From the rhino's we gradually made our way back stopping to view some deer and onto the cafe to meet up with the boys whom had got lost again and told them that we had seen the meerkats and the rhino but they would have to content themselves with seeing the photos! We sat and chatted about the day over a cup of coffee and what a superb time we'd all had before we all went our seperate ways home. | ![]() |

| Saturday 21st June - Arrive 1pm, a chat and a trip to the beach before the evening of fun! Now fun you might ask.....well, let's just say that there was a band playing in the B+B that was rather loud and we all know that type of noise covers a multitude of sins or in our case a spanking good time <ewg> |

Our trip to Whitby was quite an experience even
more so for some of the pupils who attended. Here we see our Headboy
getting his just desserts some would say! in actuality it was a spanking
followed cosely by the cane, no sign of any puddings anywhere |
