SPEED THRILLS
BUT KILLS

Mind you the taxi my driver was following yesterday afternoon had painted on the boot:

POWER
BREAKS



And this on roads thronged with pedestrians, cows, bicyles, tri-cycle rickshaws, Tuk-tuks and small cars whose drivers stick in top gear at all speeds down to walking pace.

At what speed are cars allowed to travel down mountains?

Is there anything you can't do Mrs cat?

Probably not, and it's all done to such an extraordinarily high standard too. What mystifies me though is how Vrenchen can still be so shy and diffident and lacking in confidence.

Good morning dear lady.

Best wishes all,
