Tropical Wings Tuesday

Managed to get to the local small animal farm/butterfly house at Tropical Wings at South Woodham Ferrers today to say goodbye to all the wonderful animals there. It was announced a week or so ago that the park was to close at the beginning of December due to the owners' ill health, and it seems there is no way of keeping it open or getting new owners in to carry on the good work.

It has always been a special place to visit with family and friends and i really will miss stopping by every now and then to see the new animals they brought in and I just hope they can rehome all the animals - I'm sure I can fit in a few giant bunnies and meerkats in the back garden!!

Had to perform a rescue mission too while we were there as one of the butterflies decided to take up residence on the pathway - not so good when there were lots of mummies with buggies there taking no notice as they were walking through chatting on their phones (grrrr!!), so managed to get this one on to my hand and on to a nearby leaf out of the way!
