We had the pleasure of Sue and Graham's company which meant the usual suspects could go out for a meal at the Old Barn in Tealby. As usual the person missing from the photo is Jane who was on the other side of her phone.

We also got involved in a display of reptiles, a very friendly tarantula followed by a flight of owls. Sometimes small animal centres can be run down and sad but this was excellent with staff that obviously cared, buildings in a good state of repair and enclosures that suited the animals.

The weather was bright and kind so we could appreciate the autumn weather, time spent with our visitors and have a relaxing couple of days.
