When I was a student, I lived not too far from Flamingo Land. I really wanted to go (I love flamingos! I love land!) but owing to the fact that no one had a car and we were all skint, it remained a pipe dream.

UNTIL NOW!

As I’ve mentioned, my boyfriend is a roller-coaster fiend. Flamingo Land is a zoo with a theme park attached (sadly it isn’t just a load of flamingos), so when lockdown eased, we went zooming off to North Yorkshire to go there.

It was better than I could have imagined! Even the roller-coasters, which I’m still a bit scared of, were fun. And the zoo was great! Overall, 10/10, would flamingo again (geddit?!)

To put your mind at ease, it was nothing like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPKi1_rVuVU
