The English are ready, bring on the Germans. Tanks at our farmhouse!

 

 

More weird stuff at our farmhouse just outside Bloemfontein. Masses of World War II memoribilia, weapons, uniforms, guns, vehicles, radar systems, ammunition, trenches and mock battlefields etc.

Vuvuzelas v Lorry Horns on the PE to Bloem road traffic jams

 

 

Randomly we’ve arrived in to an amazing old 1849 farmhouse near Bloemfontein. All original kit, guns, paintings, 4 poster beds, open fires etc. Belongs to ex-presidents 5th generation family of the original Orange Free State, basically we’re like staying with royalty. Oh, and he’s got some guns and tanks for us to play on as well – got to start persuading the owner to let us drive them to the Germany match!!! That should get us in the paper. Off for pre-match curry tonight at the local Taj. Expecting -3C tonight and a white frost everywhere tomorrow morning. Landed on our feet we think…. Toffa, Dave, Dave and Roy.
