For some reason I was in a pensive mood recently and started reminiscing about childhood toys. Two in particular stuck in my mind: Jake Rockwell, the land based Centurion Power XTreme fellow with the Detonator accessory; and the M.A.S.K. Condor with pilot Brad Turner (with Hocus Pocus mask). They were great. Jake Rockwell became a one man destroyer with the Detonator pack (effectively a huge gattling gun attached to his exo skeleton) attached and Condor was a motorbike that turned into a helicopter … and there is nothing cooler than that. Hours of fun was had with them. I’m not sure why my mind turned to those particular toys.

Short of that the garden is looking superb and so far we have managed to get everything planted, tied up and generally managed very effectively. Unheard of in previous years this could be a good year for production. Even our little Granny Smith apple has a few apples on it still.
