My new (new to me at any rate) car

Chocolate upholstery



Cool or what



It's worth getting up early for this



Learning or leaning?

I did the headgasket on this golf, and it took me ages to get the distributor timing right. I remembered going to stock car racing with my dad and watching mechanics hunt for the timing by turning the distributor by hand until the engine fired. It works!

...and saw some local wildlife, and top views



You don't see many of these in Harrogate...




or these!

We bought food at the local markets


Goats head soup anybody?

The journey was very long... and eventful

One of these wagons broke down going up the hill and they were mending the gearbox by the side of the road


This bus was burnt out the day before we drove this way


There were long queues at the boarder. Some of these wagons had been here for weeks!


Some pictures from my trip to Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique

We spent some time helping build a school room
