estarlie e28 ebike: an owners review
First proof reading… corrected version.Second edit Sept 2020 after the first 300km Was it the urge to get fitter or a desire to be less carbon heavy in my fun, or let’s face it, the pain of the increased fuel prices? Well, a little of everything, probably. Anyhow, I’ve returned to pedal power, but with…

Wicker Man – the first ever stage production (review)
To begin… if you have never watched The Wicker Man (the proper one, not that awful shite with Nicholas Cage in), then you need to stop now and go buy it, watch it, relax, and only then read on. If you’ve watched it … well it’s probably a bit like Marmite*. I utterly love it…
