I AM GUTTED


To wake up and learn that one much admired has taken own life is a real kick to the chest.  Gary Speed was but 42, seemed to have it all.  Had recently received OBE.   By all accounts was that rare footballer, a genuine lovely man.   It is so very sad.

SEE THE USA - DEFREES STYLE


A very clever member of the DeFrees family, has just completed a trip round the USA.  Filmed it and it is so clever it has been featured in Daily Mail in UK.  Fancy that.

The young chap responsible for this filmed bit is ever so clever with a camera.
