Nutty Noah and a few animals

The title of this post has nothing to do with the Bible story recorded in Genesis about a large boat and lots of rain. Yesterday we had a great day at Pennywell Farm, getting up close with lots of animals and enjoying an hour of music, magic and mayhem with children's entertainer Nutty Noah. Here are a few photos.

Stroking a hedgehog is ok as long as you only stroke from head to tail. Stroking tail to head is a mistake you only make once.

Even a light shower during lunch would not deter us from our picnic.

Three times round a track with a steering wheel and an accelerator and already insisting she's ready to drive my car now!

Pond dipping. Fortunately no one got wet.

The only really heavy shower we had all day coincided with a one hour indoor music and magic show by Nutty Noah. I could say that we didn't take any photos because of the poor lighting - but in reality we were enjoying ourselves too much to think about taking any pictures. But to give you a quick flavour here is a clip from Youtube of Nutty Noah on his Hornophone - a musical instrument made up of lots of bike horns strapped to a large metal frame. I did think maybe we should get one of these for church instead of the organ.
