Uganda A-Z

It's hard to pick my top picture from yesterday in #Liverpool but this one is pretty good! We got to see Gaia from a boat!
The perfect way to start our day off ❤️
Secret gardens with impossibly green leaves. No filter at all!
Spontaneous afternoon trip to the zoo 🐧
We are home after a gorgeous holiday in Matlock. Here are the baba quackquacks we grew very fond of in the local park 🦆🐣
