Having
not
been
to
Puxton
since
my
youngest
was
in
a
pushchair,
I
wasn't
quite
sure
what
to
expect.
When
they
were
little,
we
went
specifically
for
the
soft
play
area,
but
now
at
fourteen
and
nearly
twenty
(!)
we
thought
it
would
be
nice
to
make
a
return
visit
and
spend
the
afternoon
looking
at
some
animals...
bit
of
'animal
therapy',
if
you
like
:
)
The
park
itself
has
expanded
massively
over
the
years.
We
even
commented
on
how
different
the
driveway
was...
as
in
the
trees,
bushes
and
greenery
had
all
grown
and
matured,
whereas
previously
it
seemed
a
lot
more
open
(this
is
a
positive,
by
the
way.
It
looked/looks/felt
lovely).
There
seemed
to
be
more
animals
from
what
I
can
remember.
The
Reindeer
are
beautiful,
as
are
the
Alpacas,
but
we
couldn't
seem
to
see
any
pigs...
though
perhaps
they'd
been
moved
and
we
were
just
unlucky.
There
is
now
an
indoor
area
which
houses
spiders,
snakes
and
THE
cutest
little
monkeys,
and
my
personal
favourite...
'Derek's
Barn'
(presumably
named
after
Weston's
own,
and
the
founder,
Derek
Mead)
which
houses
the
beautiful
cow's
in
the
milking
parlour,
where
you
can
take
a
walk
around
and
even
get
to
see
'the
maternity
suite',
where
quite
frankly
(and
without
wanting
to
sound
ignorant)
I
had
no
idea
that's
how
big
a
pregnant
cow
got...
she
was
absolutely
HUGE
(think
King
Kong,
in
cow
form)
;)
We
had
a
really
lovely
afternoon,
we
laughed
and
smiled
the
entire
time
we
were
there.
I
would
say
it
does
perhaps
aim
itself
at
the
younger
family,
as
in
95%
of
it
is
aimed
at
children
between
the
ages
of
3-11?
but
if
you
like
a
leisurely
wander
around
whilst
looking
at,
stroking
and
feeding
some
very
beautiful
and
friendly
animals,
you
can
easily
spend
a
good
few
hours
here...
if
you're
a
young
family
with
young
kids,
easily
the
whole
day!
We
finished
our
afternoon
with
coffee
and
cake
in
the
onsite
restaurant,
and
bought
a
few
goodies
to
take
home
from
the
farm
shop.
All
in
all
a
pleasant
day.
