Friday Shootout:The Day the Zoo Broke Free

Hello everyone, hope you are well. This is a confession post. I don't have any pictures of the Zoo. Where I live in fact in Liverpool, it do not have a zoo. (But it does have a huge Ferris wheel, so its not so bad.)
Up the road, as they say in Ireland, there is a Zoo. But it is about 40 miles away, I don't drive, and I know however great the zoo make be, it ain't worth the walk. Time was also a factor. (That old chestnut!)
But a little closer to home is a safari park in Knowlsey and I did go there. So to say sorry I thought I would make it into a wee story about the zoo for a sit down and a Friday cuppa.


The other day, Big fella and I heard a whisper through the trees that the animals in the zoo had broken free and were roaming the local park! This was a opportunity not to be missed. We were going to the park. We decided it would best to drive there, as a zoo has many exotic animals that would not think twice of having a silly couple walking through the park as a tasty meal before going to check the swings and the slide.

So we drove to the park. All of a sudden,



baboons and monkeys started falling and swinging from the trees and running over to the car!
They also took great delight in hitching a ride around with us.

As I looked through the trees I saw a lion chasing squirrels for tickling his nose with their tails.
We also saw two elephants going to what they called there "spa day" in the river where the swan and ducks live. Every Thursday afternoon, without fail.
As we drove around some more we saw a peacock running towards us shouting at me about taking pictures at a time where lions were roaming loose in a park, call somebody and were we crazy. A camel came to the front window and drearily asked about some sand, there was not enough sand.
Big fella suggested the Car park where some salt is kept for snow days and would that help? He muttered something along the lines of, it will have to do and off they went.

Just as we thought the park could not be more surreal, Big fella had to do a emergency stop as a herd of Buffolo ploughed past after hearing a re run of Friends was on the wide screen TV that the park had to offer.


Yes it is was very fancy park.
There you go, sorry about the no Zoo and all. I hope all is well in your world and have a great weekend!

Friday My Town Shoot Out The Dark Side

This Friday My town Shoot Out is on the dark side! This shoot out is placed out and about in Liverpool!The topic chosen by Nanu!

Just when I think all dark undiscovered pathways are locked




a faithful Chesire cat leads the way

Through dark eerie Williamson tunnels and pathways



To a magical place were they honour the cat



and marvel at the majestic sight

but all soon the darkness chases the sun away
and the moongazing night begins over clear midnight ink skies

and isn't she a pretty sight?


Have a good weekend everybody!
