Sound up if you’d like to hear a fox crunching on a prawn cracker.

They bought me the Lego because I do enjoy feeding them and 3 years ago one injured vixen moved in under the shed and we had a glorious spring of fox cubs.

In case anyone missed it on the news here’s the kayaker in Chile being swallowed by a humpback whale and spat out again!

Who went to Belle Vue in Manchester on a Saturday night, it had everything, for me it was Speedway followed by a visit to the fairground, here’s my Bernard McMullen print of our much missed playground of the North.

And the same to you.
I’ve been an Ivan fan since 1970 at Belle Vue, it was only after my dad died in 72 that I discovered my uncle was Ivan’s next door neighbour before he moved to Woodford, this poster is the house in Bramhall.

My garden foxes in the snow.

I bought this Ivan Mauger article on eBay it’s from Speed & Power magazine, it describes Ivan as a 3 time world champion but in the piece it says he lost the 1973 title run-off, so he must have been a 4 time champion when this was written, having won in 68, 69, 70 and 72.

I had an “if you build it they will come” moment with a heron and my new fishpond a few years ago.
