Hello Everyone,

Many apologies for not updating this blog since June. The year became so busy on all fronts in the summer and has been galloping hectic ever since.

But now there is some time to breathe, although I am currently recovering from seeing the new hideously woke branding for Jaguar (cars). I almost had to have counselling.

If you ever wanted an indicator of how far a country has fallen, then this is it. Although now owned by Indians, Jaguar is quite simply the embodiment of all that is British. Famous for its outstanding achievements on the track with its range of legendary sports and racing cars, and equally famous for the ‘Grace, Space and Pace’ of its sumptuous and stylish saloon cars, the Growler and Leaping Cat bonnet mascots have graced these wonderful works of automotive art for ever and a day. It simply beggars belief that this magnificent and important Jaguar culture has been closed down at a stroke and replaced by a bunch of androgynous wierdos in ridiculous outfits strutting around a quasi lunar surface to a quite sinister soundtrack. And we have now been shown the pink slab of brutalist crap they call a car, just horrendous. But you know, maybe it doesn’t ‘beggar belief’ at all. Maybe this is the direction the Globalist psychopaths intend for us. A world devoid of aesthetic beauty, a world populated by genderless human 2.0s with their AI ‘brains’, humming around an urban concrete hell in their soulless, characterless EVs. Well, it’s a big fat growling NO! from me. I shall continue to enjoy the growling, snarling and purring of beautiful classic Jaguars for as long as I can.

Right, now that I have got that off my chest, I can start thinking about what 2025 may have in store. Event wise, nothing has been confirmed as yet, but I am hoping to attend shows in towns and cities that I haven’t been to for at least a couple of years, unless of course, I link up with fellow Dwarfers at some of the bigger shows as we have done in ’24 at Liverpool and Edinburgh. Whatever happens, I really look forward to seeing you sometime, somewhere in 2025!

During 2022 I became an Ambassador for Nature’s Haven whose mission is to enable the community to access and learn about the therapeutic and health benefits of gardening and nature and I would like to extend my thanks to all of you who have donated to this forward thinking, Not-For-Profit organisation. For more information please go to www.natureshaven.net or Instagram natures.haven.garden

I will continue to support small local charities directly, including those which support veterans and ex-servicemen and women. I believe that the treatment by the State of those who have been prepared to pay the ultimate price has been nothing short of shocking.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Best Wishes

Chris Barrie
