Video transcript

Once upon a Saturday morning, early morning driving down, me and my brother in the back, my mum and dad in the front. Long line of Saturday shoppers sitting in their cars, all going the same way slowly. Finally we arrive, first my dad finds parking space. Then me and Simon running up the big steps to the entrance, racing each other up the stairs, past the fishes on the way to the Watchgroup monthly meeting. Sometimes we had some dead animal or other that we had found. Some already frozen from being in the freezer at home, others not. All waiting for Eric, the taxidermist, to put in one the freezers which stood in a long line behind the scenes.

When the meeting was over then we could look around. Glass cases full of butterflies, birds and other animals. The fish in the entrance hall that if you put your finger on the glass, he’d come for a nibble. The Northumberland Wildlife Trust Christmas fair, a big black bear, my stall, guess his weight. Home made fudge being sold by my mum next to me. Fun, it was always fun.
