African ingenuity is found in funny places across the planet. I came across this stall yesterday at The New Forest and Hampshire County Show. Was very pleased to see the way the bike had been modified. Africa at its best.

Instead of pumping a bellows which requires lots of energy, the blacksmith can now have an assistant ride the bike and keep the furnace at the required temperature.

Cool!

The New Forest and Hampshire County Show was a quagmire. The heavy rains over the previous two days of the show had turned the ground into mud, a’ la Glastonbury style. What was about to occur at 2:10pm caught everybody by surprise. Including the The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery who were in the main arena doing their fantastic show.

I was soaked to the skin when the heavens opened and dumped a month’s worth of torrential rain on to the area. The rain persisited at full strength for 30 minutes. It was amazing and no wonder flooding has occured here in UK.
