Archie is a quiet and reserved, yet deep, penguin. He is currently looking at maps and google earth to see where he might go.
He is hoping that somebody will invite him to go and stay somewhere exciting where he can achieve his potential and bring him out of his shell!

On Thursday, 3rd November, Archie and I travelled down to St Florence, in Pembrokeshire in Wales, to the Manor House Wildlife Park. Archie will be the new addition to the staff there and will be assisting Glenda Wilkinson with the education programme that Glenda is working on.

Whilst we were there we met the keepers and the Head keeper, Ross. Glenda took us on a guided tour of the park and the more we saw the more excited Archie grew. Unfortunately we didn't get to see Steve and his wife because they were not receiving visitors that afternoon. But in the galleries you can meet the new friends Archie will meet in the coming weeks and months.

Sadly, Anna has injured her ankle in a riding accident and recovering at home after two weeks in hospital and an operation. Though I understand that she's enjoying the medication! Archie and I both wish her a full and speedy recovery.
