Emily and I recently made a visit to Johnsons Butchers and Farm Shop in Old Hurst near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. We'd searched online as we were in the area and wondered if there were any Crazy Golf courses or Gluten Free places to grab a bite to eat.
The search didn't turn up anything in particular on either of those points, but interestingly the Johnsons' site is home to a crocodile enclosure! So we had to make a visit...
Unfortunately it wasn't like the scene in the James Bond Film Live and Let Die where Roger Moore jumps over each of the crocodile's heads.
The Crocs were in their own enclosure, but it was interesting to have a look around the farm which is also home to Ostrich, Deer and Pigs!
The farm shop has a wide range of food and alcohol in stock, including a selection of Gluten Free products for Coeliacs. The Butchers stocks an array of meat, including Crocodile Tail Meat, which according to the packet "is like Monkfish"!
Right next to the Car Park is a Duck Pond with Ducks available to purchase.
One of them had the best hairstyle I've ever seen on a duck!
Unfortunately we arrived too late to visit the Tea Room which is wonderfully named 'The Eccentric Englishman Tearoom' - I'd have fitted in there!

Eastbourne - Fort Fun Adventure Golf Course - Minigolf Course Played #222
After playing the Putting course in Princes Park, Eastbourne we headed over the road to play the 18-hole Adventure Golf course at Fort Fun!
The course became the 222nd course played on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.
It's not the best example of an Adventure Golf course, but we had a fun and competitive Irregular Mini Golf Tour round, with me coming out the winner by five shots.
Some of the theming is good - especially the Crocodile/Alligator!
Interestingly, and happily for me, I also managed to win a free game on the Top Hole! This was the first I have won since the 150th course played in Southport in September 2009!!! It's also only the third free game I've won in all the courses I've played!? The first was won at the very first course visit in September 2006 in Portsmouth!
