Trusting God

A Move and No Internet!

Hi guys. I just wanted to post a little explanation for the lack of posts here the last couple of weeks. Last weekend I moved house (post to come) and consequently I’m limited to internet access. We don’t have a connection yet, but hopefully we will get one setup in the next [...]

Some stunning photography of the Earth from space. I was amazed by the photo of Egmont National Park in New Zealand, which in the large part, is a perfect circle.


McLaren and Alonso split

McLaren and Alonso have done the inevitable and gone their separate ways. It’s not really much of a surprise after the relationship between Ron Dennis and Alonso collapsed, and both parties have mutually agreed to go their separate ways.
Looks like a new team mate is on its way for Hamilton, I personally would like [...]
