Well done to all the team at Port Lympne! Yesterday I attended the opening ceremony for an exciting new visitor experience at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent.

I started to write a philosophical blog about ‘the impatience of the reader’, but that one can wait… As the title up there says, I love lomo.
