On Saturday 16th March 2019, Miller’s Ark Animals had a spring open day. We took Isaac to have a look (and a cuddle).

The second time I’d had a day out for an Open House London weekend. This year I managed to visit three properties: Royal Courts of Justice, Freemasons’ Hall and The Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
