Everything slows down here 🍃 We come to the Royal Gardens @Zamek_Krolewski to lie in the grass, get lost in leafy mazes, and feel Warsaw breathe with us. A place to pause, dream — and stay a little longer. #DiscoverWarsaw
A cracking weekend in Annecy with a whole load of old friends and their families. Good times. Even a >3 h delay to my flight back from Geneva can’t dampen my spirits.
