FRIVOLITY: Chester Zoo

Hey lovelies!

Today's post will be dedicated to my trip to Chester Zoo, which was absolutely fantastic! If you're in the North-West you should definitely take a trip there in the summer :) it's definitely a feel good day out!

Here are some of my favourite pictures from the day!

How cute is this really?!

Baby Elephants having a little splash :) 

MEERKAT! :D

Tapirs! I love them!

Myself and David on the day :)

My favourites had to be the mongooses, meerkats and otters! And I know have a massive love for mongooses just because whilst looking at the cute little bundles of furry joy, I passed a phone interview for the company I am having a job trial with on Monday morning :D happy day indeed! 

I also had a thought on the train on the way to the zoo. As I finished Heart of Darkness, I debated if I should start Wuthering Heights straight away but I decided against it and just look out of the window like most of us do and as I stared out, it was absolutely beautiful. I saw horses with their babies and a rabbit (I love rabbits!) and it got me thinking; are we spending too much time wrapped up in other things and not taking the time out and respecting the world around us? All I know is that the Romantic poets of the Eighteenth Century would not be happy with us at all! 

What do you think, are we spending too much time wrapped up in our own world? Have you been to Chester Zoo? 

Lots of love,

Currently reading...

1 down, too many to think about to go (sigh)

Anyway, as you may have noticed, I have added my fantastic reading list for this summer onto a page at the top of my blog so we can all see how far I have to go!

So, I finished Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad (give us a cheer!) and now it's onto one book that as a Literature student, I feel like a failure for not already have read it...

Currently reading: Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

I can't actually wait to devour this one. I'm 19 pages in now and I'm not going to lie, it's a bit of a difficult read but I think it's going to be totally worth all the flicking to the back to look at the added notes. Wuthering Heights is for two things for my third year, my 'Victorian Literature' module and I'm also doing this for my dissertation on 'Female Gothic' which I am excited about. So I am going to be absorbed by this one!

Now, I bet you're wondering, 'where is the book review for Heart of Darkness?' Well, it shall be up tomorrow my dears, and I hope I do the book justice, it is a classic after all! I'll also be putting up a few pictures from my trip to Chester Zoo yesterday later on today!

What are you currently reading? Do you like to read?

Lots of love,
