Choppered umpires
Wendy Isaacs-Martin e-mailed me over the weekend with some pics she had taken at Friday night's Pro20 final at St Georges. Seeing that my camera is in for repairs and I couldn't take any pics at the match, I decided to post one Wendy's pics from the night. The on field umpires were flown into St Georges Park by helicopter and dropped off right on the field. I must say that it was quite a spectacle and very different from…

Country Churches
Today is another Random ... theme day and the theme is Random Country Churches.

Beware of lions
A Beware of Lions sign at one of the lookout areas in the Addo Elephant National Park.
