Otter

Mum has been staying with me this week, so today I took a day off to take her to Studley Grange Butterfly and Craft Centre near Swindon.  The idea was to visit a Doll's house shop there.  We saw and fell in love with a house, which somehow fell into my car (shhh... don't tell my sister!)

Afterwards we visited the Butterflies and the attached small farm.  The stars of the show for me were a trio of otters who were enjoying the fine dizzle as they worked their way round their enclosure chattering away to each other.  The centre also had a flock of sheep, who were suffering from a "bad hair day", as well a group of young meercats (see extras).
