I Am Taller Than A Flamingo

Hello. How are you all? A couple of weeks into 2023 and I've enjoyed my first break of the year. My husband and I went up north to visit my eldest son (Midi) for his birthday. We left the youngest at home as he didn't want to come with us. We stayed at a Premier Inn. It was Southport (Ormskirk) but it's actually in a tiny place call Scarisbrick, which is halfway between Southport and Ormskirk. Midi lives in Ormskirk. Husband and I arrived at the Premier Inn late afternoon on Friday. We didn't do much other than rest for the evening. We did give my youngest step-daughter a call as it was her birthday. Saturday was Midi's birthday. Husband and I spent the morning in Southport visiting a museum and having a slow, chilled day. In the evening, we met up with Midi and two of his friends for a meal at 'The Cricketers' - a food pub in Ormskirk. It was quite nice in there. A little loud and expensive but the food was lovely. Sunday, husband and I picked up Midi and took him to Martin Mere. That's a WWT (wildlife and wetland trust) place not far from Midi. He'd been there before. They'd had a case of avian flu so we weren't able to feed the wildfowl, and a couple of areas were closed. Midi and I were impressed at how shelducks can keep themselves looking so clean! We did see most of what was there. It was a cold day but not raining or anything. It was a nice place. We spent a couple of hours there before taking Midi home and myself and husband coming home. The picture I've added here was taken by Midi. As I'm not very tall, I was quite happy about being taller than a flamingo! How have you all been? I wonder if you're taller than a flamingo. I think the ones at Martin Merer are around 5 feet tall.
