Cheetah Cubs, 3 months old
I took this picture a couple of years ago at Cheetah Outreach, Spier Wine Estate, Capetown. The one with the darker markings, looking as though he is in Feline heaven, is a King Cheetah. (There are only about 28 of them in the whole of South Africa. Their markings are caused by a Recessive gene in both parents).

I was invited to wingwalk in aid of the RAFA Benevolent fund. So I took to the air on the Press Day of the Shoreham Air show back in July. We have some footage taken from the wing of the plane as I flew over the sea at Brighton, keep coming back here as at some point we'll get it transferred and up on the site for you to see.

Jonathan had arranged to meet friends down near the Opera House for brunch. Because of the usual sun, most of the restaurants have huge fixed... Read more...
25 January, 2012: COFF'S HARBOUR
When I lived in Sydney in the 60's I met a girl - a very good make-up artist trained at the BBC. Funnily enough we both remember the party at which we met and also both remembered that our host - Roger Murray Leach had the bath filled with ice and on top were dozens and dozens of oysters! My friend came back to... Read more...
