Visit to Ash End House Childrens Farm

Sometime back, my son had a school trip to Ash End House Childrens Farm in Tamworth and I accompanied him. We both had a few firsts. Here are some pics:

Feeding ducks for the first time in my life

Giving milk to a calf .... for the first time in my life again

Both of us feeding the goats
My son was initially quite scared but in the end he was really into it.

Greenwich Park

Visited Greenwich Park last Sunday. This was my first visit to the park which is quite near to my sis-in-law's house. The park is said to be oldest enclosed Royal Park in the UK and covers approx. 73 hectares (183 acres).

The daffodils were in full bloom and looked fantastic

Was looking forward to taking some great pictures but let down when I found out that the camera batteries were down. Ended up taking pictures with my old Skypephone but in the end, the results were not that bad.

The Observatory

I was looking forward to going into the Observatory and posing on the Prime Meridian but the gate was closed.

Will definitely be going back again, making sure that the batteries are fully charged.

The cat that came to visit

Sometime back we had to take care of our friend's cat while they went on vacation to Rome. I was a bit apprehensive as my kids never had any pets. I am more of a dog person and have never had any cats in my life but in the end it turned out ok. The cat actually liked me would come purring and rubbing her side on my legs.

Moreover it was toilet trained and really well behaved. All I had to do was clean the litter and feed her.

My kids loved the cat and my son was fascinated but he probably thought it was a moving teddy bear and tried to hug it and the cat never came near him after that. Ultimately our friends came back and she went back with them.

It was a nice experience but would I ever keep a cat.Not right now but maybe in the future when we have a bigger house and the kids are big enough to clean the litter ;-)

Hey! Get off my table.

Foxes in the backyard

Saw two foxes in the back yard of my sis-in-law's house in Greenwich. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen them myself. Here are these healthy looking foxes in one of the busiest cities in the World.
