Who knew Pandas liked Carrots too!

Here in the U.K. 'Pandamonium' has broken out as two giant pandas have been loaned by China to Edinburgh Zoo. Tian Tian and Yang Guang (Sweetness and Sunshine) are due to stay in Scotland for at least ten years.
Anyway this made us start to look at Panda videos and what do you know? Pandas like carrots too!

A Big Hello from Grandpa Joe

It's a very big 'Hello' from me, Grandpa Joe and my best friend Rufus.

We're really excited to have our very own blog because as soon as something wonderful happens to us we can share it with you straight away.

The past few weeks have been really busy for us. we've seen our first book 'It's Time For Carrots' published as an iPad and iPhone app (with those very nice people at InteractBooks). We've made a Facebook page together and now we're writing a blog. It's a good job it's winter and there isn't too much to do in the garden.

Hope you enjoy the website.
Grandpa Joe
