For some, #lockdown had meant mastering new skills like rustling up a loaf of sourdough or banana bread, knitting a jumper or finally achieving the Crow Pose in yoga and the 10th Earl of Aaron (Zippy to his chums) was no different. He had spent the last seven weeks teaching Mr Doggington, his elderly dog, how to balance a Ginger Nut on his nose. Mr Doggington was now 3 stone heavier than before lockdown, but it was all worth it when Zippy showed off his dog's tricks to his chums on Zoom. Zippy wasn't going to stop there though, his next challenge was to teach his cat, Mrs Meow-Meow, how to swim. Watch this space!
