Aw Bingo

Two new tiger cubs have been born at the Highland wildlife Park, (Andy) Murray and Viktor. Not sure which of the fluff bundles Dave captured in this photo. They have massive tiger feet. Four new wolf cubs too. We played "Sam Aw Bingo", counting how many times he uttered "awwwwwww" when he saw the next beastie, from beetle to bison, from bunny to beaver, and yes, we actually saw the Beaver for the first time, in my 30 + years annual visits and in the past 10 years or so since the beavers enclosure arrived, we actually saw the lone warrier this time. And good news, a lady beaver is coming his way....I'm hoping it's legs akimbo, hairy love and boundless baby beavers. It was a good way to break the journey over to the west coast and a wonderful shift in gear from London village, ready for our antidote to stress, a week on the wonderful west coast of Scotland, you just head to Ullapool then go 50 miles North, CLACHTOLL! CLACHTOLL! CLACHTOLL!

Coincidentally, I've just seen a photo of my cousin Hailey feeding a bottle of milk to a jaguar cub in Thailand and then helping to bathe an elephant, and what did Sam say "AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!"
