The Koi are home!
After a long wait for customs to clear the new shipment we finally loaded the new koi at 11.00pm and departed Heathrow last night. The koi were loaded into their quarantine ponds by 6.00am
this morning before we grabbed 3 hours sleep.At 9.30am inspection they all looked as though they had recovered from the ordeal( even if we had not!)
I will post a video later
