Started a lovely long weekend yesterday with a day out to Jimmys Farm.
Great day out, lovey huge enclosures for the animals, most of them were sleeping in the sun 😂
Managed to see two of the rescued polar bears and the brown bears up and about, just on the second attempt.

Lots of woodland walks, play areas for the kids and food stops. A great place for a nature scavenger hunt.
Had lunch in the restaurant which was packed, fish and chips was huge, no room for desert.
