She raised a stack of cash for the charity and isn't too badly injured apparently. So well done her.
Mad as a hatter.
And brave.
Check out the bits of smashed lance flying in all directions. Brrrr.

Jousting
Also, my mad mate Lorraine successfully completed her joust at the Tower Armouries. Brilliant.

A request
While I think of it...
My lovely but completely mad mate Lorraine is going to take part in a joust at the Tower Armouries on Oct 14th.
It's in aid of a young rugby player who very sadly broke his neck and now needs intensive support.
If you are near Leeds, go and watch.
And
sponsor Lorraine.
Just look at her armour! It's fantastic!

Fame, hopefully fortune
Was watching the TV whilst doing some ironing (domestic goddess, etc etc etc) and what should be up there, not once, but twice in the 45 minutes I was watching?
Longleat, that's what.
*tch*
Local attraction makes the news. Who'd have thought it?
The first mention was a rather cute story on Channel 4 News featuring meercats (sp?) , and a camera "accidentally" left behind by a photographer.
Riiiiight.
He "accidentally" left the tool of his trade in a pen full of wild animals, did he?
Not, I note, in the naughty monkey enclosure, where it would have been stripped for parts and welded into their Mad Max stylee car*, no.
No, he left it with the meercats, who as far as I know, don't have many advanced technical or engineering skills. So not much chance of severe damage to the camera then. That was lucky.
Next mention was on some programme about a bloke who'd built a log cabin in Somerset, using (da-da-daaaaa) larch from Longleat Forestry. I was so proud. I'd have saluted, but was afraid I'd burn my ear.
Other news: My barking but lovely mate Lorraine is going to do jousting. On a horse. In a huge suit of armour. At the Tower Armouries. How great is she?
And she's doing it to raise money for a very good cause, so if you want to
a) find out more and
b) sponsor her, please check
this out.
