Prince Philip Windsor-Mountbatten 1921-2021
– mini bike madness across Sandringham astride a red monkey called Easy Rider. Not quite Wyatt on his Stars ‘n’ Strioed tank’d Captain America but a fun bag of festivity nonetheless.

A Verdant Workshop
– another photo of Ewan and his favorite marque. This is a caféd Moto Guzzi Nuovo Falcone. The famous bacon slicer flywheel obvious on the drive side. The green color scheme of the workshop furniture even matches the fuel tank.

Panthera tigris
The largest of the worlds felines, the tiger is renowned for its ferocity, power and whiskery good looks. The facial Rorschach like stripes provide the recipient of the intense stare with a cursory distraction and the 500lb cat readies to pounce…
