So how was everyone’s Christmas?
As usual we’ve headed down to my home town of Brixham in Devon to spend the holidays with my family.
We’ve had so much fun, and the weather has been so lovely.
As Boe is still in his “penguins are awesome” phase, we took him to Living Coasts in Torquay the day after Boxing Day ??
Mr Plinky and I have a bit of a soft spot for the place as its where we had our first date (along with Paignton Zoo, which is why we got married there ?) so it was nice to go back.
As predicted, Boe had an amazing time and LOVED watching the penguins swim and hop about. He had a bit of a meltdown at feeding time though because he wanted to go and play with them, but he wasn’t allowed 🙁
Apologies to everyone who was around us at that time – especially the woman whos day was obviously ruined by Boe being so keen to get up close to his favourite animals as she kept giving him the most horrid looks when she saw him in various places around the park ?
It was great fun going back to Living Coasts as a little family, and although it’s not had many updates over the last 7+ years, the penguins and birdies still seem to be enjoying their Devon home.
If you have a couple of hours in your day to spare and you’ve never been, I recommend paying them a visit. There’s penguins, sea lions, fishies, otters and some amazingly funny looking birds ? And the view from the restaurant window is just unbeatable ??
Have you been there already? What did you think of it?
