Zoo Spuds

Cloud

Our garden was just not the same without a rabbit. Cloud was 'old stock' in a pet shop and had an uncertain future. He is very much his own bunny so our life style is ideal for him. He patrols our background during daylight hours and destroys whichever plants are seasonal. Then when night comes, with some gentle encouragement, he returns to his hutch. He is not one for being picked up and certainly not one for any of that cuddling nonsense.

Bill married Karen


Many many months since our last update!

Life continues to treat us well. We are still traveling across Europe visiting a variety of towns; that just happen to have zoos. Zalf is now in its 10th season. Rob won in 2006 and then Nick won in 2007. Our god children ( Millie and Tori ) are doing well; as are our friend's children ( Amy and Zoe ). Chester Zoo has now opened the Realm of the Red Ape and Chester City Football Club have made some useful summer signings.

Congratulation to Bill and Karen on their marriage.

Long time no speak !


The forgotten Blog. Well almost.

Been mega busy. Work dominated Winter. Aging email infrastructure decided to cause some hassle. Nice to have some extra money for travel. But would have rather avoid the strife. Never worked nights before ! That said did escape in March to Copenhagen for a weekend. Rob's birthday trip. Ideally sized town for a weekend.

ZALF (Oct 2005)

After 8 weeks Tracy leads ..

but only by a point from Nick. The average Legg score is 285, Stockdale 240 and Murphy 205. The average lady is on 261 where as the gentlemen 240. Manager of the Week so far are Tracy and Tom twice, with singles for Chris, Ian, Nick and Tim. Our website has now been updated, but most folks are checking direct on the TTF site, which is fine by us ! Now only Chris and Mike ( my parents ) are without a computer. So different to when Zalf first started !

Millie (god-daughter) has just created her own web site. Interesting title. Never really liked school much myself, but life is definately not boring ! I have added her link on the right column of this page. But just in case the page ever gets reformatted here is the full link :-

The picture is Millie, David and Tori from the Stockdale clan.

No updates from us during June so here's a quick Bracken test to make sure all is still functional. Bracken is a standard Dutch rabbit and is middle aged in rabbit terms. We are his third ( and final ! ) home.
