I can see us in the countryside

A few weekends ago, a brigade of museum volunteers (some from over five hours away) had a huge play-date with the tanks and land rovers and Austins in the museum's collection.  They invited me to tag along and I got to ride around in tanks in a renegade parade.  My favourite was this giant tank, which had swirly letters stencilled on the side that read, "This tank was given to the Maori battalion as a token of love from the native schoolchildren of New Zealand."   The heartwarming!  It burns!

To hell with chocolates, my (currently imaginary) boyfriend will be getting a tank as a token of my love next Valentine's Day.  Watch out, Hallmark!
