Walking an Owl with Coda Falconry

About a year ago, it was Dann’s birthday! Unsure what to get someone who never knows what they want for their birthday, I figured getting an experience was the best option. Dann loves owls and always mentioned a time when his brother got to go off and do a owl experience with his grandparents and how he wanted to do similar. So, after a bit of googling, I ended up booking him a ticket for the Owl Encounter at Coda Falconry – along with a spectator ticket, in case he wanted to bring a friend.

I ended up being that friend! Currently, Coda Falconry isn’t properly open due to COVID, but they still are doing these experiences, as they are with small groups of people. Ours was an own walk, where Dann got to hold the owl, cast him off, and walk around. I got to follow and pet the owl at the end, opting to take pictures and ask questions along the way. Our owl was named Dusk – a beautiful creature with a twin sister who we also got to meet!

The Perfect Apple Pie Filling | Recipe

When the leaves start changing color, I start to think about all of the different ways to enjoy apples. I use to work at an apple orchard and bring home lots of apples for apple pie or apple crisp. This filling is the best apple pie filling I’ve ever had and reminds me of home. It’s a recipe that’s been past down, that’s very simple to make – and most of the ingredients can be found in your home normally. This apple pie filling recipe is also very easy to follow.

Disproving Myths about Refurbished Phones with giffgaff

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to getting a new phone, it’s always a big decision. I try very hard to keep my phone in good condition, so that it can last quite some time, as I feel phones are a large purchase that we make, that does need to last as everything is on our phones. I spend a lot of time on social media, taking pictures of days out, and generally using my phone for basically everything. It’s my calendar, it’s my connection to the greater world, it’s how I work.

I have previously only purchased new phones, waiting and using my cracked phone until I have saved up enough for a new one, before trading it off and ditching my old, on it’s last limb phone to a shoe box of deads in case I might ever need the images or texts off of them. Recently, however, I got the chance to check out a refurbished phone from giffgaff, which was far nicer than I would have ever expected.
