A day in the gardens

I have not photoshopped this!

Today I chopped wood- one of my favourite jobs- hard work; but incredibly satisfying

Ok, so I did photoshop this

Trevor Hall

Bubbles- the most chilled out cat I know

Dolly snoozing

The drive home- the scenic route

Why the British talk about the weather so much....

Because unlike many countries, which have climate, we actually have weather! Within 4 days. we've gone from sunbathing, to nearly 30cm of snow.

I wanted to show nature reclaiming the works of men. This is in the morning.

This is in the evening, at the time of writing, the rear window is no longer visible.

The morning after..

Water's all frozen- so Fred and Brio eat snow instead (watch the yellow stuff though boys ;¬)

My Gran's back garden this evening.

Last light gives an eerie other-worldly feel to the view.

914, eat, drink, sleep, drive....

Great footage of a 914 belting 'round Laguna Seca in the States- watch out for the corkscrew corner.. Overtakes Lotus Elise, M3 Beemer, S2000 Honda, Ferrari, I loose track! Flat 6 motor wailing within an inch of it's life. For petrolheads only - automotive heaven:



I want a bigger engine and uprated suspension- NOW!

Betty

Being a heterosexual male, I have a bit of a thing for cars. From the age of 9 I became a Porschephile. Finally, 5 years ago, I was able to make dreams reality when I bought Betty (she's Elizabeth when something breaks and costs me lost of money). This car is amazing. It will accomodate my mountainbike, everything I need for camping and cycling for a weekend, and I can still take the roof off and stow it in the trunk. There's no other 2 seat mid-engined sports car out there that can do this. It will also go around corners like a Le Mans car (it raced there in '72 and came 1st in class) and sounds like a real car- unlike most modern vehicles which are boring and quiet. I've driven many fast cars, but none were quite as engaging or fun to drive. And it's a loverly 70's orange too!
So there we go, Betty, my 1971 Porsche 914, I smile every time I drive her :¬)
