Merry Christmas everyone, We've been back in Blighty for just over a week now and on a mad rush around the UK visiting friends and family. Not to mention getting some fixes of our much missed UK goodies (mince pies, chocolate, coffee, pizza & poached eggs for starters!). The lovely Katy & Paul have endured …

Living la Vida Lagos
