| Beautiful pictures John as always, how old is that church and cemetery, if you know? |
That's St Mary's Church, Crawley, Hampshire. Like many English Church they have undergone many changes over the millennia. This one has foundations that date back to the 12th century with alterations in the 15th and finally in 1887 and 1901. The Graveyards you'll find usually have headstones that date back to the 18th century...rare to find readable older ones because of the British weather.

I don't see how there could be a problem with that... after all it's not a car.... it's a Ghia! You therefore are compliant.

Ah that must be why I've never been challenged.  Another trick is to wear a yellow high-visibility tabard. As you buzz around taking pictures people think you must be on official business.

This is great! Thanks! I've been fighting to keep the local livestock from using my property as a shortcut from the "wrong-side-of -the tracks" to the "undocumented pharmacist". You would be surprised what they're willing to climb over & through to avoid walking the extra 1/2 block. This includes everything from cut down limbs & trees stacked & woven 5'-6' high to 5' high stacks of corded tires.

Haha...as I said a few months back... "Ask yourself...where else but The Samba could you learn all you need to know about Karmann Ghias AND how to lay a hedge or Dry Stone Wall."

Your Ghia is so shiny & perfect that it always looks photoshopped into the surrounding image 
FWIW, after watching the hedgewall video that you posted, I dropped a Pecan tree that was beginning to make contact with some power lines to make my own wall & it seems to be holding on.
Thanks for the idea.

You've posted many, many beautiful photos of your lovely low nose Karmann Ghia here over the years, but ^^^ that ^^^ one is definitely one of my favorites thus far.
You truly hit it squarely on the nose this time.
As always, thanks for sharing. |

How about a "virtual drive" in your Ghia? Put a dash cam in and record one of your drives through that gorgeous scenery, for those of us not blessed to live in a fairy tale landscape?

My request was course somewhat tongue-in-cheek, John. Your gorgeous pictures are enough for me.

It was never an outrageous request as I did go through a few online reviews of the "budget" action cameras a little while ago but stopped when I found myself looking at drone cameras too. I have an old school friend who produces fantastic drone videos but he's too far away "up country" to be of practical use.
Reading reviews seems harmless but could be the start of a slippery slope.

You could always just do your "virtual drive" around London, and then ask the police to share their CCTV footage with you so you can apply your HDR and Sepia magic . |
