Probably wandering somewhere in London, my town, for all it's faults, it's still the best 🙂
Love wildlife, books, photography, gym, indoor cycling, science, trains, maths, puzzles, architecture, and anything slightly "geeky?".

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.
