Mexican Red Knee Tarantula
As you may know I used to own a tarantula, a Chilean rose hair tarantula to be more specific, unfortunately Hermy died Thursday 21st February 2008 and I’ve been unsure whether I want another tarantula.

Mother’s Day trip to Bath
This past weekend Artur and I took my mum to the city of Bath to celebrate Mother’s Day. She had given us a few ideas for her Mother’s Day outing the week before including Bath Bourton-on-the-Water and Longleat Safari Park and Gardens. With its Roman history and the chance to explore a new city – Bath was an easy choice. To be honest I’m surprised we took so long to visit this beautiful…
