Living Coasts, Torquay. PENGUINS!

 Tonight is meant to bring the coldest night in three years according to tabloid reports plastered all over my Facebook feed (we will see)- but yesterday brought me penguins. I absoloutely love penguins, and I am lucky enough to live near Torquay. Torquay brings me Living Coasts.

"Welcome to Living Coasts, an all weather attraction, located on Torquay seafront in South Devon, where there’s plenty to see and do: mingle with the playful penguins, get up close to the otters, octopus and seals, and much more. Visit Penguin Beach to walk with the African and macaroni penguins and catch our entertaining feeding time talks.
Below the decks the fun doesn't stop. With more fascinating habitats and creatures, there are games, activities and panoramic underwater viewing areas for our stunning species..
Open to all, our Living Coasts CafĂ© is free entry to non-visitors too, so come in anytime for family friendly, local food and drink with panoramic sea views overlooking the Bay.
Grab some feel good shopping at Tradewinds Gift Shop anytime without visiting the zoo. It's packed with wonderful products to suit all ages, from plush toys and games to books, clothing and confectionary. There's also a huge range of Fair Trade jewellery and local art. All profits go towards our conservation work."

 Perfect. It was a fantastic day out, and you actually get to be among the penguins. Day. Made.

 Of course, as ever I was camera happy and had to capture all the cuties I met. 

Enjoy!

"An attack on one is an attack on us all"

 Yesterday brought the sunshine and it also brought "GAY PRIDE" to the city of Plymouth. Gay Pride is growing more and more every single year, and it is an absolutely fantastic, well thought out day. Quoted as a day that is about "bringing people together"- and that it definitely is. So many people came together to make it awesome, and namely Ricky-Lee and Jazmine who put on such a fantastic display. The crowds where entertained from early noon to evening- and that is definitely a task in itself. I am happy to say they succeeded and there was not a moment where I was not in awe by what was in front of me. I will forever support causes that will stamp out the horrible hate that still sadly surrounds the world we live in. 

 Check out my snaps from an extremely successful Pride. I am insanely excited for next years already. 


 Well done all who made it great!
