  • that was very interesting to hear!!!!

    id love to try a hotair baloon some day!!!

  • Same here! I think I might miss out a crash landing in the trees though.

  • You come up with a variety of interesting subject matter.

    I take it that history is your favourite subject. I've lived most of it lol.

  • It's my form of escapism :)

  • I've also got a US Civil War token and Paris brothel token. It's amazing what you can find out about these humble bits of metal when you do a bit of internet research

  • Can't wait to do a vid of the Whore House token :D
