Maybe it was Roald Dahl who first planted the seed of longing inside my soul, having one of these for his children, in his garden...or maybe it's just the gypsy in my soul that sometimes longs for a life of travelling...

Just the other day there was an old man sat in the middle of a large roundabout on the way to Exeter, his wagon glistening in the afternoon sun, his old horse tethered safely beside him, both seemingly oblivious to the cars all around them..A simplicity of life that is dying before our very eyes...

I'd have swapped being a passenger in the car to have been sat beside him on his wagon...clipclopping along at a slow pace...aware of all the elements, hearing the birds...

Anyway, here are some lovely videos that I hope many will enjoy...
