Meerkat Babies

Tropical World in Leeds has got some meerkat babies. Lucy is very excited to visit them. However, she is very aware of how susceptible little mammals can be to infestations so she checks Jonny out for nits.

Since Jonny passes the head lice inspection, Lucy allows him to escort her to Roundhay's finest meerkat venue. Simples.

First she spots some lemur action - but she is surprised and disappointed. From the documentary footage she has seen she was expecting to hear their distinct song

Impressive as the waterfall is - it's no meerkat.

That's what I'm talking about! But this guard meerkat is a bit big.

Cutest ever, two little baby meercats grooming each other (not in the internet sense!)

And then this little tyke popped off to get her lunch from her Mum.

Mummy and Aunty Sue walk Lucy back to the car after a thrilling meerkat encounter.

Taylor Towers

Aunty Sue and Uncky Kev look on as Lucy plays with a big box of toys. Kev looks quite jealous.

Kev cannot resist the urge to join in. So now it's Jonny's turn to get jealous. But even though he wants to join in playing he is not really tempted by the kitchen based scenario.

Sensing that Jonny is feeling excluded, Lucy quickly finds something that will appeal to him.

Lucy is very perceptive. Jonny very much approves of her numerical skillz and can perhaps foresee her fulfilling some sort of accounting role in his inevitable Donald Trump like financial empire. Lucy is equally smart and can foresee sharing a ride in Jonny's chauffeur driven Micra.

Jill and the Guinea Pigs

Lucy is loving looking at Aunty Jill's guinea pigs

They are very cute. However, we were all rather disappointed that the collective noun for guinea pigs is simply a "group".

As well as her wobble of guinea pigs, Aunty Jill has also got a cat. Much to Lucy's approval, she also collects cat objet d'art (meaning cat statues and pictures rather than art created by cats). Lucy shows some fine examples to Jill.

There is a thin line between art and toy.

What would have been a lovely portrait of 3 generations is slightly undermined by Lucy making a break for it with two cat statues!

Fish and Chips

Lucy has forgotten about eschewing eating her aquatic friends as she and Milly enjoy fish and chips.

Banana Lovers

Lucy is sneaking up on Milly

They are having a glorious time together.

Lucy is very fond of bananas. Arguably too fond.

Milly also likes bananas.

Apparently bananas are funny.

Lucy and Milly

Milly and Lucy are making butterflies small birds together.

They are sticking sparkly decorations on them to make them look pretty

Milly is an excellent teacher and Lucy is a studious pupil

Then it is time for a lovely spread out tea.

Skegness Natureland Seal Sanctuary

Lucy is visiting the Seal Sanctuary in Skegness. These are Harbour Seals.

Uncle Si, Mummy and Lucy look at the baby seals.

Mummy looks like a secret agent who is kidnapping a baby Eskimo.

In deference to the fact the she has just been observing the aquatic world of nature, Lucy opts for egg and chips. Mummy and Daddy have no such scruples and wolf down fish and chips because everyone knows they always taste better at the seaside. Uncle Si has curry sauce and chips because he believes curry is part of his Five a Day

She's behind you!

Football with Uncle Si

Lucy is playing football with her Uncle Si. He is proving rather difficult to handle despite being no Wayne Rooney.

So Lucy picks up the ball. Let's play catch instead.

It's a great throw from Lucy to Si.

And Lucy is very pleased with herself when she holds onto the return throw. Possibly a goalkeeper in the making?
