One Small visit for Castle Espie - One Giant Journey for my Life

7th Feb 2023

As we hopped off the bus and onto the fresh grass a brilliant scent of nature hit our faces.  "This sure is going to be a fun day out," we thought happily.

As we approached Ava's nest she jumped to life, she sent us on a quest to find out more about nature but also to find out what the other animals thought about her.  We accepted her request and set out in three groups (green, blue and red).

We found animals after animal and questioned them about their thoughts on Ava. We also just HAD to stop and appreciate the beauty of nature, the fun-filled playground, awesome zipline and a breath-taking limestone mine.  We headed back to Ava and proudly told her that we had fulfilled her wish and excitedly she took off into the sunset to join her family in West Africa.

As we trudged off back to the bus we thought about the incredible, 0nce-in-a-lifetime journey we had just completed.  "What a great day," we thought!
