"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain
Santa Barbara Zoo. The city is the most philanthropic in the the USA and the zoo is privately owned, is non-profit, is on "prime" real-estate and the animals there have the most superb views that they could wish ... over the Ocean! Lucky lions ... giraffes (who I got to feed) and this lovely fox who I got to play with! He was a nippy little fellow ...
This MUST have been one of the most fun evenings we had last year! After a hard day filming on the South Island of New Zealand, VICTORIA SHAW from Eichardt's suggested we went for a drink to celebrate our last night in Queenstown. Well, as you can see, we did more than have "a drink" ... GMs please note - we DO like to party!
For the Santa Barbara & San Diego shows, we had two vehicles - the luggage and equipment mule and this wee nippy convertible. Although I did have Sat Nav, I didn't have a DJ, so wee Jimmy obliged and ensured that the 3.5 hour drive was not only fun but filled with good music!
On one evening in LA, I was lucky to be joined by two of my favourite people in the world - Darling Jen from Beverly Hills and Baby-G from Santa Barbara. We managed to creep into a club called "Home" in Downtown LA and this is us with "Mr Brick" the bouncer ... he was a total gentleman ... I am not sure I would want to meet him if he was angry though!
My lovely friends!Song of the Day: Shine on - House of Love
