A Couple of Adventures

Dave and I recently took a couple of breaks (doesn't happen all that often!) and went off for a couple of adventures.  The first was a trip to Branscombe followed by a visit to the donkeys.  Dave likes jumping on big rocks and throwing the largest rock he can lift into the sea, so here he is enjoying that!

We also saw loads of donkeys and they were just lovely.  I do wonder why donkeys always look so sad.  It's not just Eeyore!

Our second adventure took us to Torquay.  Some very kind and generous friends of ours paid for us to go away for a couple of nights as a treat.  They planned and booked everything for us, including a lovely hamper of goodies to enjoy!  We also got to go to Living Coasts and see the penguins (amongst other things!).  So much fun!

This big ball of fluff is actually a baby penguin!  He'd only been born about 2 weeks before this, so he's really small and cute and fluffy!  They had another one that was born, but wasn't very well so was being looked after in the incubator.  When we got home, we found it it didn't make it.  Poor little thing. 

Was cool to be able to get so close to the penguins and see them being fed as well!

I'd like to say this last photo was because I'm a really amazing photographer, but actually it was a fluke!  I thought I'd missed it, but turns out I didn't!  Looks kinda cool!!
