Clumber Park

Well, its been another lovely sun shiny day here today so we decided to go for a bike ride.

We drove to Bryan's house (Nik's ex Father-in-Law) who lives in one of the estate houses near the entrance to Clumber Park and parked our car. Before we set off Bryan showed us round all his different breeds of chickens he's recently got. There were lots of fancy ones and some really big ones that i think were called Jersey Giants. He took Max to see the baby chicks in the hatchery, Max thought it was fantastic. Alpacas graze in the field at the side of Bryans house and we stood watching them with Max who kept saying they were sheep. The Alpacas are really cute animals and look really fluffy and cuddly and have totally adorable faces.

We eventually set off through Clumber Park and cycled round the lake which was full of canadian geese, ducks, swans and cygnets. We saw a squirrel at the bottom of a tree and i managed to take a photo of it before it ran away. Its really funny because we live in an area surrounded by beautiful parks and countryside but never go see it and take it for granted. I think i'm going to try and get out more on the bike (getting fit in the process) and 'explore' a bit of it.

Not done anything interesting since we got back, just boring, cooking and ironing. Gonna go put Max in the bath now and settle down with the tv. Could do with a rubber ring to sit on though cos me poor old bums killin!!! PMSL
