As I’ve mentioned before, a trip to the zoo isn’t top of my list of things to do but Freya has been asking to go for a while – and as she had Thursday off because her school was used as a polling station, I bit the bullet.
I’m not sure why she wanted to go because her aversion to cats, dogs and pigeons apparently extends to birds of prey, tigers and giraffes, so we spent a lot of time in the play area. I’m wondering if we can volunteer at a cat adoption centre or something in the summer to try and help ease her fear.
I didn’t take many photos but the monkeys were playing right next to where I was standing and I couldn’t resist this little face.
Hope you have had a good week. Sorry for the lack of posts. I’m having a blog rethink (more soon).

Maybe Freya is trying to face her fears? Nice post with the cute monkey. I haven’t blogged much lately either. I guess I’m looking for inspiration!😀🌈

I don’t think so, she seems quite happy running away from things at the moment. I hope your inspiration comes back!

What a sweet face. The monkeys were always my favorite part of the zoo when I was a kid.

If I had to pick something, other than the butterfly house, they would be my favourite now 🙂

If my memory serves me correct they’re Spider Monkeys. They were my favourite as a child when we used to visit Paignton Zoo. You could feed the animals back then and they loved grapes. They were so gentle with their little hands poking through the bars to take the grapes.

Oh wow, really? I’m not sure I’d put my fingers near these ones. They were having a lovely play though.

There are cat adoption centres that you can volunteer at?! Cute monkeys, but cats now you’re talking

I agree, although she’s terrified of our neighbours cat, even though we feed him when they go away. Poor old bean. It can’t be much fun.

That is a stunning photo! My daughter isn’t keen on animals either, although she is better than she was!
