Dinner at The Owl & The Pussycat

Last night a group of us enjoyed a delicious meal at The Owl & The Pussycat in Teignmouth.  An excellent meal in good company!

Chocolicious!

Some of us attended a Cookery Workshop - Cooking with Chocolate  - at Dawlish Cookery School on Saturday.  We all made and iced a Sacher Torte and we had a chocolate blind tasting.

It was a really enjoyable morning and big thanks go to Mollie-Jane and Carol for their excellent instruction

Talk to the Animals

Last night we enjoyed a talk from Neil Vaughan from Shaldon Zoo.  Neil outlined the important work of the Zoo and its breeding programmes which have led to the conservation of endangered lemurs, tamarins and marmosets.

Neil also brought along some of his animals to show us how cuddly a spider can be and how interesting  reptiles are.  He allowed us to touch and stroke the animals which was a real privilege and a new experience for a lot of us.
