Oops, we did it again!

My husband's birthday celebrations continued today, with a trip to Chessington World of Adventures.

Twenty-odd years ago, we got stuck at the very top of the log flume there and had to climb down. And... you may remember that around this time last year, the river rapids ride at Thorpe Park broke down when we were on it.

Today, on the way back to the car park near closing time, we popped onto the Gruffalo ride. We were the last people on it and just as we got near the end, true to form, the ride stopped and all the lights came on!

We think maybe someone hit the 'switching off for the day' button by mistake but they got it restarted after about fifteen minutes and all was well.

I strongly suspect that Merlin Entertainment will be banning us soon, though!


I've put a couple more pictures in the 'extras', including the baby giraffe we saw, which was originally going to be my blip, under the heading 'Garden visitor'.  :-D
