From watching Monty Don's excellent series - Villa d'Este?

My next one, after writing off a Mk 2 Sprite was a sensible Morris 1000 Traveller as well. The brakes never worked very well, which led to scrape with a Mk 10 Jag which took up most of the road - well he knew the Chief Constable etc as his wife told me - so it was me who got the warning from the cop...

Tanah Lot Temple, Bali?

Warbirds Over Wanaka is back after a break of several years. Sadly the Mosquito has been sold to someone in the States - after a very lengthy rebuild here - so it won't be seen here again. Wanaka is a town in the South Island near Queenstown. The F-16s are based at Christchurch - where there is a US...
