Dick Francis, rest in peace







These are me just having fun with a camera!

I’m sure you have already heard but the jockey turned author Dick Francis, has died, aged 89.

He rode 345 winners and competed in 2.305 races.

In the 1956 Grand National he was riding Devon Lock to what seemed like certain victory, when the horse collapsed within 50 yards of the finishing line.

He gave up racing months later, due to a nasty fall.

It was his son who encouraged him to write an autobiography about his experiences during the Grand National – which also showed his natural talent of writing.

It seems that Ashley Cole can’t stay out of trouble!

I think you have read the stories about him sending pictures of himself by mobile phone, so what else is there for me to add?

The pictures of Danielle Bux in today’s Daily Mirror newspaper are stunning!

A further congratulations to her for holding onto her original surname, instead of taking on her husband – Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker.

I like reading the column by Paul Ince in the News of the World newspaper.

He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s hard to ignore him.
