Wild Monday

Despite the fog warnings all along the A2/M2, today turned out to be extremely dry and sunny - though cold.

I decided last night when I checked the weather forecast that today would be the day that I used up my free entry ticket for the Aspinall Foundation parks, and I drove down to Howletts, near Canterbury. (I think I'd better go to the cathedral city one day and do a post on that.)

The biggest tiger ever since the sabre tooth was here. His name was Balkash. His son Malchek is the a chip off the old block. Actually, he's a block off the old block. A keeper once told me he is actually bigger than his late giant-sized dad. After today I can well believe it. As he walked past the viewing window the first time I was gobsmacked.
