More bouncing, swinging, jumping, driving and patting!

Yes, yet another day at another "adventure" park with a pack of children. These places have sprung up all over the country and are probably the result of the call to farmers to diversify. On fine days during the school holidays they are mobbed and probably generate quite some revenue.

This one we visited is near Dunbar, east of Edinburgh, and has, in addition to the usual playthings, a collection of animals, some of them being usual farm creatures but also some more unusual types and most are very tame. I can hardly believe that my grandchildren from down south were all excited about feeding a sheep. We, as children, took these beasts for granted.
