The blog is now back up and running after a week of enforced absence as the tribe decanted to Center Parcs in the depths of Whinfell Forest, Cumbria.

Although we were able to experience the joys of having a Royal Python slithering across our shoulders and of watching a Harris Hawk descend on to our gloved hands to retrieve morsels of meat, we weren’t able to connect to the outside world (which, you may say, was actually a good thing).

Anyway we are now back and refreshed. Whilst we have been re-united with a wireless connection, you may be relieved to hear that the Royal Python and the Harris Hawk have remained at Whinfell….
