It's half term so what can one do on a wet Shrove Tuesday? Aubrey's answer was to visit Jersey Zoo eat pancakes and then as the rain abated, just on cue, wander around the zoo.
Hurrah!
The bears just lounged in creature comforts. Snakes slithered, frogs croaked, skinks skulked, gorillas sulked, all in sweat inducing primeval heat.
The orang-utans were at their leisure. Close up and personal the kids shared selfies.
Off to the flaming flamingo's. Pink and perfect.
Puddles are simply designed for wellies and small children.
It's at this point Aubrey learns she shares a common trait with the fruit eating bats.
