The Durrells

Post by Richard »

I'm finding this most enjoyable easy going Sunday evening viewing.

Are you ?

Bit worried about some creatures being shut in little cages but with all the rules / laws around film making, would imagine it's just for the shot, then they go back to better climes.

Izzy and I loving it )like(

Izzy came home from shopping yesterday with My Family and Other Animals - I'm hoping she reads it quickly so I can start on it.

As part of her college course she's starting in September, they spend a week in Jersey at the Durrell Wildlife Park - she is already almost hyperventilating with excitement {rofwl}
