When I was a kid, the face that showed up on the telly when the Amazing Kreskin came on, scared the heck out of me, and it wasn't that scary. I shall have to find in into to see how I fare now. But to be honest this face from Burghley House's sculpture garden isn't exactly a nice one, and they have two. Whilst I have heard of the uncanny valley, this isn't even close to that, it's just sort of ot nice.
Despite this, they do have a few other installations that are interesting like the Pac Man one that I stumbled upon, I personally liked it because it was fun and just something out of ordinary... not that a 10ft face mask isn't. Still the house is nice to visit and the gardens are pretty impressive what with the surprising part, which is a little bit of a Italianesque formal garden with something a bit different. If you're in the area it's definitely worth the trip.

We were out in Snetterton this weekend and it was a Mini whitewash. We saw 2 Mini qualifying sessions and two Mini races along with other stuff such as Karts on a real circuit and they were flying.
To be honest the two Mini races were really pretty impressive, with the guys at the front running really closefor much of the race, and some daring moves happeining on the outsides of the corners.
To highlight the depths to which the Mini divers were going, if they were committed at Agostini then the front left would lift into the corner with the back left lifting on the double apex corner, as you can see, we have a pair of rear lifters which I think is an easier job than having the front left lift as at the same time as keeping control of the whole situation.

Well bearing in mind I've not taken a picture for ages then I needed to get out and a picture of a dear is better than nothing despite the fact that I have quite a few images of dear in my collection. Like I say, the sun was out and so was I, so it was time to celebrate with a picture. To be honest it nearly didn't happen what with everything going on this weekend, but I was insistent and persistent and so we went out. Lucky really because I think the prediction in the middle of the week was it was going to rain all weekend.
Anyway, this is a little deer in the park and that's about it. The ice-cream queue was as long as ever and the wind was a little cold, but apart from the occasional brave dear getting close to the paths, nothing more to report really.

Having had a quick search, I believe that these are Border Morrises that we saw in Skipton. T was a warm and bust Skipton since it was bank holiday Monday and everyone was out to try and enjoy the end of the weekend.
Initially it was a little bit of an abortive day out as we set out initially to go to Vintage Carriages Trust which can only be described as two small and confusing museums, so after a quick look there and a sit in many different railway carriages (yes I suspect the name of the museum should have explained what we were going to see) we headed off to Skipton where we saw he Border Morris dancers by the side of the canal.

It was a quick tour of Valletta today, we saw the hospital and had a 45 minute ilm on the history of Malta at the Malta Experience. Valletta isn't a huge place but you do get a little tired when you walk from one side to the other. In between we turned up here at St Johns Cathederal. It;s a very impressive place, more highly decorated than anyplace I think I have seen, even more gold than Seville's Giralda from my opinion. However I think at this point I was getting a bit of church fatigue, so we set off for the fort.
