Ecuador occupied and claimed the Galápagos Islands #OnThisDay in AD 1832.

Really enjoyed the film Becoming Led Zeppelin - m.youtube.com/watch?v=Sizy..., so much so, I immediately headed across the road to buy the first two albums, which the film focuses upon. Hugely enjoyable. Immersive. Recommended! Slightly ashamed I didn't own these records already! 🤔
