A visit to "The Deep"

I haven't blogged since Sunday because I went over to Leeds to visit Talj. One of the things we did was go to Hull and visit the big aquarium there called "The Deep". Although I don't think it's quite as good as our own local place "The Blue Planet" I really enjoyed our trip. Except for lunch. Lunch was disgusting. Soggy butties, cold chips and a really nasty "healthy" cereal bar...The picture above shows a statue at the entrance.

We had fun trying to take photos through the glass. Most of them were pretty useless but a couple turned out ok. I liked this little yellow fish.


I wasn't so keen on this shark! Look at those mean little eyes. This photo can't convey the real sense of menace in his look. We were very glad to have a thick sheet of glass between us and him!

We found Nemo...well, several Nemos anyway. They are very attractive little fish and I liked the sea anenome too.

I had a really nice time in Leeds with T. On the Tuesday we went to a sushi bar for lunch (sheer absolute BLISS!!!) and also made fairy cakes. I know it's been an emotional time for T but we still managed to enjoy each others company and have a few laughs.

Today I went for a long walk with M and J in the morning and in the afternoon it was RDA. On the last ride we had a new rider called Liz who was very nervous but really enjoyed herself. I was leading Daz and when Ruth was adjusting his girth he bit me on the forearm. OUCH!!!
