After whinging about my sponsored child, I had a little piccie from him waiting for me when I got home. (He's only 5 but shows real artistic talent!)

Kate R's top gorilla piccie. Awww...

You want gorillas? Step this way...

The photos are not in the order in which things happened, which I already cannot remember. I have dozens more and some I haven't had developed yet too. Please help yourselves if you want to copy them or whatever, mail me for more. If anyone has any good ones from the trip please forward to me and I'll put them up. I'd particularly like some of me dancing with the pygmies! Or in fact me doing anything that makes me look alarmingly cool so I can impress my mates.

The Cruella-blog and associated folks would like to congratulate Jonathan Hart on his 45th birthday...

Enjoy! Cru

Hi all

This blog is just for my piccies and any stories or comments about my trip to Bwindi impenetrable forest (impenetrable? pah!) in Uganda, May 2005. Probably mostly piccies.

Enjoy! And when you get bored go back to the original Cruella-blog!
