Well ...... here goes .

I was feeling a little randy one morning while the wife was looking for some bacon for breakfast, so when she bent over the freezer I just couldn't wait and, in I went ......! Wow! Great! Best for quite some time ....


Of course I'll never be able to shop in Iceland again.



The old ones are definitely the best.






P; There is absolutely no truth in this story ...Honest.

It is with some sadness that I have to tell all my friends in the UK that the Volpini is sold. BUT with Iain still in charge here is the new car photographed at its inaugural test run at Vacca Valley Raceway in California in July 1960. It is a Britannia (02-60). Only 3 were ever made and it has been impeccably restored by Bob Egginton even down to its original racing colours.

I was asked to film a group at my local pub and these young ladies also turned up to put us in a good mood.
You can see they are professional as one of them wasn't fazed at all when she got her heel caught in her dress ! One of them lives local to me and they call themselves Elektra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsrwdcLzryc

And they drink Larkins !!!!!!

I can recommend the Castle Inn. Chiddingstone has a very Olde Worlde atmosphere.

Belated well done, Peter. Two more and you'll get the third degree.....

Talking about letters after your name, while desperately trolling though French radio stations yesterday to find something with a play list more than 3 songs, I found 'Radio FG', and guess what- FG stands for what you might imagine it does! After a few minutes I decided 'NSFG' was more appropriate.....
