Conquered! Feeding A Silver Fox

10 November 2019: 
Conquered! Feeding a silver fox! A huge thank you to Anthony (The Sumatra Camera Trap Project) and Bucks Goat Centre for a wonderful time in Aylesbury, with Barnaby the Silver Fox! 😊 

I have never been this close to a fox before today. He was so full of energy and curiosity, so beautiful to observe! He had a particular taste for blueberries, which is what I am feeding him in these pictures using tweezers 😊. His beautiful fur was so soft too! 

It was an amazing experience I will cherish and never forget! 😊 Barnaby is an ambassador animal at the centre, helping raise public awareness of his wild cousins.

Conquered! Meeting Big Cats


9 November 2019: 
Conquered! Meeting big cats. I would like to say a huge thank you to all staff (especially keeper Hannah) at The Big Cat Sanctuary, and Anthony (The Sumatra Camera Trap Project) for the most amazing adventure in Kent with the big cats, and allowing me to take a peek behind the scenes! 😊 

This is a photo of me with Imara, the white lioness, and her pride in the indoor section of their enclosure. It was raining outside, which is why there’s a cover on my camera. 

I have never been this close to a lion - or any other big cat - prior to this! When we entered, she got up & walked straight up to where I was sitting... She was absolutely fascinated by my wheels & kept following them! It was an experience I will cherish and never forget. 😊

Sand, Sea, & Pooches!


20 April 2019:
Beautiful day out with Grandma & my beautiful pooches at Fraisthorpe beach. I sent Gemma out with them so they could play in the sea, as we couldn’t get the wheelchairs close enough... They absolutely loved it, such a joy watching them! 😊 For Karma, it was her first time in the ocean - she ran through the waves, tossing seaweed on her nose; JD was less impressed but loved the shallows & snapping at the water spray as she ran through 😅... They were so good, so proud of them both! Shall definitely be doing this again. 😊 Both were exhausted & pretty much slept all the way home like happy kids... We ended our day in Bridlington, where I treat them to a mixed grill (at The Lobster Pot), & Notarianni’s Italian Ice Cream. 😂👍 xx
