Birdworld, Farnham Surrey

We spent most of the day at Birdworld in Surrey. 26 acres dedicated to birds of all varieties as well as Underwater World. I specifically liked the bird display as there were some cheeky characters. Charlie the Macaw who flew from his cage to the display circling the skies, Lou and Harold, the Laughing Kookaburra's, Stanley, the Striated Caracara, and Boris the the Grey Owl who has a habit of swooping too low skimming the crowds heads.

Entrance fee was around £8 for an adult and £7 for a child of 3 and above. Well worth the visit. There was also the Jenny Wren farm which included hens, peacock, turkey, rabbits and guinea pigs.

Rye, East Sussex

The main reason for visiting Rye, as part of our week in London, was to see the most photograhed Street in Rye - Mermaid Street. From photos that I have seen, I envisaged a long walk up a hill, but when we turned the corner, it was fairly steep but not as bad as I thought.

A beautiful cobbled street beckoned us lined with old houses, climbing roses and creeping ivy.

It was extremely hot, one of the hottests days this Summer.

An enchanting house that we came across further up the hill.

Lunch was spent at an outside Cafe, under umbrellas to keep us cool.

A really quaint little town near Hastings to visit. Highly recommended!
