ON September 26 my cousin and I spent the afternoon at Blackpool Zoo.

We saw animals are in very good condition and then we had a wonderful experience.

Thanks to the elephant keeper we were allowed to get very close to one of the elephants.

Her name is Crumple and she is lovely.

We were able to stroke her trunk - we felt excited and really privileged.

Thanks again keepers.
