Plenty of secure parking at Lord Selborne Guest House in Selborne


Parking at Lord Selborne Guest House in East London is secure.  Cars can park securely behind a high wall, and the two gates are automated.  Access to the parking area - and to Lord Selborne Guest House - is gained by drivers of the cars first speaking on the intercom at the entrance gate, to identify who they are.

Tennis court at Lord Selborne Guest House in Selborne


Lord Selborne Guest House is ideally situated in Selborne, East London - behind Selborne Primary School, close to shops in the Vincent Park shopping area, the Joan Harrison public swimming pool, and of course not forgetting Boykies Biltong Bar.  Even though it may sound like Lord Selborne Guest House is in a busy area, this East London accommodation establishment is behind high walls and is quiet once you're on the large premises.  It has a lovely spacious garden, a bar, a small glass-encased gym, and a tennis court for social tennis players to keep fit on.  We enjoyed designing a website for Lord Selborne, and taking photos of their upmarket accommodation establishment, which includes conference facilities.

Radio controlled racing cars in East London


It's almost a sin that the boys were 10 and 11 (about a year ago) before we took them to see some radio controlled cars in East London.  Watching these little radio controlled model racing cars racing around the track near Buffs Club in East London was not only enjoyed by the boys, but by Tony and I too.  The paint jobs on the model cars enhanced their looks, and the boys found these attractive little cars really interesting.  Being female, I guess, the word I would use to describe the colours of the model cars, is "pretty."  There was even a pink one. We would like to take the boys to another race at the Buffs club model car racing grounds sometime, after all, they did quickly forget about wanting to make racing radio controlled model cars their new hobby quickly enough last time.  We don't have enough extra money to support a hobby like this right now. There were other women that day at the racing event in East London, who were actually watching the cars race, so it's obvious to me that radio controlled model car racing is not just a hobby for men and boys, but for women too!

East London police on horses bigger than the cars they're watching



East London police sit on their horses behind the fence at the East London radio controlled cars track near Buffs Club.  The horses actually looked a little interested in the small radio controlled cars too.  These policemen must have been having a bit of break, and probably thought "Why not go show our horses what else we enjoy?"  Little cars or big cars, cars will always be fascinating to boys of all ages - we didn't check, but maybe all those horses were boys too?
