I haven't been posting much on the blog recently. Too busy writing html and building new websites. But... recent stories in the media, and talking to ChatGPT, I realise that I have a lot of memories of pre-internet days, of events poorly recorded or understood even by AI. So, I'm going to write a short series of posts, to start with, about my days as a zoo keeper at Kilverstone Wild-life Park in Southwest Norfolk during the period 1978-1981.
A few teasers.
- Capybara escapes into the British countryside, as highlighted by recent media interest, not a new phenomena. We had them in the 1970s. I remember.
- A jaguar escape.
- Chinese Water Deer in Thetford Forest.
- Just memories of a very different world.
