Meerkat experience

James and I got married last year (incase you’re not aware), and one of the gifts that we took a while to use was a Meerkat Experience at Wellington Zoo. Today we went and had that experience and it was lovely! The zookeeper took us into a little hut and explained that we have toContinueContinue reading “Meerkat experience”
