It is not that Lenasia is big as a town, but there is much bush in Lenasia Funny

Lenasia is pretty old bud, but not sure how old.

You know that I'm convinced that across the road from the farm there are a lot more artifacts to be found some from the Boer war and some from what people just dropped when on there way or possibly while watching a cricket mach but with out the correct detector my chances of finding them are very small.

Churchill was a complex one, that's for sure. Yes, he was a journalist, but he was still a member of the British army. He was a reporter while actively serving in India and while he was a military observer in Cuba. Journalism was originally a way to supplement his military income. Remember it was fairly common during that period for officers eager to see action to get themselves seconded to another regiment.
