Animal Instincts

The hottest day of the year so far took us to Chester Zoo, where we experienced animal life in all it’s intricate and splended glory:

As the afternoon cooled we headed for Chester city centre to wander the perfecty preserved medieval streets. There, we came across the greatest pub in the world. The Brewery Tap is set in a renovated Jacobian hall, complete with original carved stone fireplace and tapestries. It’s the first pub for brewer Spitting Feathers and they’ve got it bang-on! No music, no screens, just 7 real ales. Best of all, the most expensive is £2.80! I only had time to try the light golden Thirstquencher, but it was more than enough to make me consider buying the house opposite.
