As you can see, he has settled in really well! A bit too well according to Rafa and the husband. He was put up for rehoming due to a change in working hours and he’s been an absolute angel. But for the fact that he’s had lots of interest already……we would be “failed” fostering at the first hurdle. Still, it does mean that we’ll be able to help another little doggy in the future.

Sarah’S Travel Page Travelling long haul gives you the chance to discover a whole new world of wonderful wildlife and natural beauty. The sheer variety of animals, experiences and habitats across the globe is truly stunning, and I can tailor a unique trip to suit you. Whether it’s a Big Five safari in Africa, watching orangutans in Borneo or seeing monkeys flying from tree to tree in Bali, read on to discover more unforgettable animal encounters across the world. Cape Town/Safari, South Africa A large, diverse and incredibly beautiful country, South Africa is one of the best safari destinations on the planet, from the tropical coast of northern KwaZulu-Natal to the incredible Kruger National Park in the north east. Home to the ‘Big Five’ of African wildlife, lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. Head to the coast and you’ll also discover bountiful marine life, including playful penguins on pretty Boulders Beach in Cape Town and giant humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins and seals. Sri Lanka Packed full of mesmerising sights, wonderful wildlife and palm-fringed beaches, Sri Lanka promises to deliver a truly unforgettable travel experience for animal lovers! The Udawalawe National Park is one of the best places to spot the famous Sri Lankan elephant, whilst Yala National Park, the second largest national park on the island, is home to sloth bears, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles and the elusive leopard. Ubud, Bali Whilst you’d be forgiven for never leaving your sun lounger in Bali, head inland and you’ll soon discover that there’s much more to this idyllic island. Artsy Ubud is surrounded by lush rainforest, cascading jungle valleys and terraced paddy fields. Watch monkeys fly from tree to tree at The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, home to approximately 700 macaques. Nearby, find the Taro Elephant Safari Park, home to 27 Sumatran elephants made homeless by deforestation. Tanzania For an authentic African safari experience, there’s no place like Tanzania! From the dramatic volcanic landscape of the Ngorongoro Crater to the fascinating Olduvai Gorge, this incredible country is home to nearly every species of African animal imaginable! Visit the legendary Serengeti; undoubtedly the most famous wildlife sanctuary anywhere in the world and witness the Great Migration thundering through the plains; an absolute must for first timers to Tanzania! Kota Kinabalu (Sandakan), Malaysia Head into the emerald-green Kabili Sepilok Forest Reserve and prepare to be wowed by the spectacular sight of the furry, long-limbed orangutans! Covering 43 square kilometres of lush rainforest, the world-famous Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre cares for around 60 to 80 orphaned, abandoned and abused semiwild orangutans. I am available 7 days a week to take your enquiries and 24/7 whilst you are away in the event of an emergency.

Gardener’s Calendar ~ March 2018
Spring is an amazing time in the garden. It means sowing, planting and growing – all the things we gardeners wait for during the dreary grey days.
VALLEY POND & GARDEN MAINTENANCE
Most summer bedding, half hardy and hardy annuals can be sown from seed now. Half hardies such as busy lizzies, lobelia, marigolds and petunias can be started indoors or in a heated greenhouse. Once the soil gets to about 6 degrees you can sew hardy annuals directly into the border or container. This includes useful fillers such as nasturtiums, nigella and even sunflowers. Summer bulbs – the likes of lilies and gladioli can also go in now. Remember the general rule for most bulbs is two to three times the depth of the bulb (ie 2 inch bulb gets 6 inch hole) and twice the width apart with a bit of grit mixed in the hole and with the growing tip up. Trees, fruit trees and shrubs should start to be given fertiliser now and you can mulch well-rotted compost round roses.
• Grass cutting, weeding, etc • Koi sales and dry goods •
• Filter maintenance
• Pond cleaning & maintenance
Top Tip!
New growth also means slugs. There’s no easy answer but you can fight back. Biological control – ie nematodes - can be watered into the soil once it is warm enough. If you order them online or through garden centres they’ll be sent out once the temperature is right. Organic traps include orange and grapefruit skins round the base of vulnerable plants or jars half filled with beer. Copper tape around pots may help or copper impregnated matting and there are pellets for borders. Non organic pellets should be used carefully – they can harm wildlife, pets and children. But organic pellets, made with ferric phosphate are just as effective. Mulch can actually make things worse as the little beasties like the warmth and moisture. Good luck!

Book Review
Neil Gaiman almost writes fairy tales. If you remember the fairy tales you heard in childhood they were rarely about fluffy bunnies and sweet princesses. It was usually wolves and witches and poisoning and children getting trapped in gingerbread houses while trolls lurked under bridges. And that is the kind of fantasy Gaiman weaves. If you’re not already a Gaiman reader, you might have heard of the American Gods series written by him and filmed for Netflix last year. But American Gods is a serious (and seriously long) piece of magical storytelling and may not be the easiest way to get hooked on this style of writing. Although it is absolutely brilliant if you are up for it. However The Ocean at the End of the Lane while equally serious, is also simply beautiful. It’s about childhood and memory and darkness and magic and how all those things live with us and inform the way we live as we get older. It reminds you of all the half-remembered things about being a child. In parts it’s dark and menacing but at the same time fun and complicated and emotionally very satisfying. Gaiman has written scripts for Doctor Who; worked with Terry Pratchett who wrote the Discworld series and also written graphic novels as well as having his work adapted for film, TV and radio. The Ocean at the end of the Lane would make a literally fabulous introduction to his world of magical thinking.
