I have to agree with others regarding the need to clear the grass away from the tent site and especially the fire pit outside. It would be a catastrophe if the grass caught fire and spread. It happens so easily and so fast. Good luck with this addition to the Mapperton adventures. Im sure you will have lots of bookings. xx
Absolutely, and with the intense heat as we have had during this summer the grass is dry and will catch up fire, burn and spread very quickly. Beside that, Julie, you made me chuckle out loud when trying to remember the name of this delicious English breakfast ... it was hilarious! Thank you.
I'm sure they have a whole supply of people that would put out any fire.. Yes I understand it can get out of hand but if you have somebody standing around the fire at all hours it's not going to get out of hand
I thought that ImMEDIately. I’m in Florida with burn bans. Eeeek I so want to go camping in Mapperton. Even if it’s the only thing I ever do in the UK I have to visit Mapperton I love this channel
I just have to say that we LOVE Luke and his messy hair! It’s such a part of who he is as a person, he wouldn’t look right if his hair was neat and tidy all the time. Luke’s hair definitely contributes to his boyishly handsome (possibly even rakish) good looks! No changing of the hair, please.
Hey let me please give y'all a little advice. I would seriously consider mowing that dry grass a couple of yards more away from the fire pit. I've done a lot of camping in many different regions of the US and the UK and a fire can really ruin the trip and damage your land. This is a beautiful setup and I'm definitely going to stay a night the next time I'm in England.
@@tildarosander1339 Hey Tilda -I yelled from Texas!! I've thought about maybe staying there but other than the fact I can't go there right now in general I try to avoid wildfires Maybe soon because - LOOK at that view!!
Looks so fun! I like seeing how very American Julie is: open, entrepreneurial, and willing to roll up her sleeves and work hard. (No insults to anyone intended!)
I, too, agree that the grass needs to be reduced substantially. Another problem is the small ridge you have behind your tent. That needs to be removed, or you will be unhappy when it rains hard and the tent floor is soaked or worse, your bed starts to float toward the sea...LOL
I laugh so much with you two. My mom married my dad and became a US citizen from Greece. My dads size is of Norwegian heritage and kept a lot of the European ways. Things like marauder, picture railing (not the same as crown molding!), eating with the fork and knife, Christmas traditions, and more were part of my youth (I mean, we didn’t have to fight off marauders or anything like that). I love this.
Loved the ‘mawarders’ - could envisage them arriving and everyone laughing as they announced who they were! Glamping is fun! Thanks for sharing - from Brisbane Australia.
That really was the nicest episode they have produced. Julie and Luke are such a charming couple, and they almost persuaded me that glamping would be something I'd enjoy. I know it wouldn't be for me, but I could imagine sitting there, reading, and sipping my G&T as the sun went down... Silence is one thing that I miss from lockdowns. Between lockdowns I took my dog for a long walk at Kenilworth (about 20 mins from home), starting at the castle and going out into surrounding countryside. There was total silence, the airport was closed, and even the cows were making no noise. I have rarely experienced it before because, here in England, it's a crowded place and I have to travel a long way to get to the quiet places.
So many people have commented about the possibility of fire. Would you consider making a fire safety video about the grounds? I think you have done one in the house (or at least I seem to remember a hose and an extinguisher?) , but maybe a fire chief could give you some tips for the grounds. I cannot help but think of the house in Rebecca. And then for everyone who is nervous about it (me 😳) maybe we could see the grass update (once it is trimmed back). I feel like it might be satisfying (kind of like the pool updates.
We Yanks definitely make breakfast like Luke but with a twist: Italian-Americans make a large-ish hole in the middle of the bread, break the egg into that hole. Try it with a mixture of olive oil and butter, it's delicious! In the movie "Moonstruck" you can see egg-in-a-hole made to perfection! (Miss Julie, I like my eggs done over well, too. Maybe because we're both vegetarians?) Y'all just crack me up! I still think Luke's hair needs its own channel. Cheers from North Carolina
@@annehunt787 I don't but if you want a harder yolk turn it over but lightly. You don't want the yolk to break. That's half the fun is breaking the yolk on your plate and it spills onto the toasted part. My mom puts a little apricot jam on her toasted parts. Delicious.
Suggestion! Iron Age fort: Organize a professional archeological dig for guests who are into that sort of thing so they can participate with a seminar on what was found and other Iron Age digs in the area.
This was my favourite episode yet! What a stunning location. Beautiful and quiet. People will flock to your website to book a stay. Outside of that though I laughed so many times! Marauders and fried toast with fried eggs-hilarious! It’s the English accent Julie. Luke pronounces it maroders but we say (I’m Canadian) marahhhders. Does that sound more familiar😀? Anyway, loved this so much, wish I could make it to England in August.
It felt good to see you both having a break in that astounding scenery! Well deserved even if it wasn't a complete break from UA-cam and marketing; taking us along (which I greatly appreciate & enjoy!) it felt like a zen romantic getaway from all the busy-ness and enormous responsibilities of the estate. Well done. Love your complicité in every regard. ❤💚
JULIE AND LUKE, DR.TOM's photography is Just incredible on the estates wildlife..so sooo Beautiful..great job y'all Are doing..love it..more People should care about Their lands and environment..get your glamping..sites fixed..enjoy all your beauty Great views..hello to Nestor♡
I was diagnosed with COVID recently and being quarantined in my bedroom is no fun. I wish I had a glamping tent right now, but watching your videos is making the time pass quicker. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Sorry, Julie, but marauders is a word used in the US. There is a team in Ohio called the Meigs Marauders.
I think it's perfect, what a lovely place to chill for a weekend, I think for next summer maybe an artificial stream for cooling off would be nice, a simple recirculating pump system made to look like a forest stream. Wouldn't have to be deep. Would draw family's with children maybe in hot August.
You should really consider cutting the grass around the tents. For fire safety as well as keeping wildlife a bit away from the tent. I’m guessing bugs/insects and maybe snakes would be living in the grass. 💚🇨🇦
I echo the grass scenario. If you are going to do this every year it would be good to have a gravel area for the outdoor fire pit - we use truck rims dug into the ground with a 3ft gravel ring on the outside to contain the fire and always have a bucket of water close by for putting out marshmallow sticks etc. Need stone slab or a tile on top of the wood bin inside the tent for a food prep table and cutting board. I love camping. Is there room service for the dishes or do you wash dishes in the sink near the showers? (when the pits aren't in use we put a board over the top with a cinder block on to keep critters out) Love This So Much!! I've never camped in England but I have stayed in a cottage at a Caravan Site. ❤
Absolutely critical to clear that dry straw for at least 10 to 12 feet around the cooking area or any where near lanterns. I would also rock gravel a that same area around the tent to avoid fire danger. Love both of you and your family wish you the best! Luke thank God you found Julie with that good old American work ethic imagination and ingenuity!
From Virginia, definitely kabob, said like "Bob". By the way Julie, I was just out in Oak Park, IL visiting friends, Toured the Frank Lloyd Wright home and an architectural boat tour of downtown Chicago. Beautiful.
Yikes! You do not grill food over a fire in a field of dry grass!! I hope you have a good water source nearby. My husband and I lived in a boxcar by a mountain stream with an outhouse for 8 years. Self-sufficiency is wonderful.
This looks like a winner to me! I love fried bread and eggs, too. Y'all are doing wonderful things for the land and preserving part of history for generations to come! I hope you heeded advice about trimming the grass a bit more. Thanks for fun videos.
Sadly those are useless if there's a brush fire. I'm in Scandinavia where it's illegal to light a fire after mid May in an undesignated area unless it's literally on rocks/cliffs. This was extremely risky and I'm frankly a bit shocked. If there's a brush or woodland fire rewilding will be set back tremedously and the damage can be unbelievable. It takes literally seconds for fire to spread far beyond control in these circumstances. I see mant have commented and would urge they consult their local firedepartment to learn how to safely set the scene for glamping guests using an open grill in the fields. That little square of concrete under the grill is useless in regards to a single airborn spark...
I'm a Julie too! Have recently come upon your vlogs and have really enjoyed them especially since trying to recover from the dreaded covid. I am from Kentucky and when you show the untamed countryside of your "neck of the woods" it looks just like Kentucky! So green, lush raw foliage and lots of rain! Would love to see more of you and Luke cooking in the kitchen! Keep on vlogging!
I'm so envious of the outdoor access and gorgeous setting. The sky is amazing. And, think "muh-RAW-der", in American accent. lol Thanks for the great scenes!
Hi Julie, Luke, and BEN, PLEASE CLEAR ALL TALL GRASS off glancing site. Also build your deck ABOVE the ground. ..otherwise everything gets wet and Soaking wet inside and around the tent...see MARTIJN DOOLAARD tent Him did in the mts..of Italia on his property..plus The above ground deck will keep snakes outta the Tent...♡be safe out there. Luke's messy hair is great. Y'all are so much fun.love Y'all♡
So glad you enjoyed your glamorous camping or "Glamping" experience. I love camping in our USA National and State Parks, and do so nearly every year. Tent, Motor Home or Trailer. All are fun. Your fields and woodlands look gorgeous. I believe your guests who come to "Glamp" will have a wonderful memory-filled time. Ma-raw-der is how the word is pronounced here in the USA. By the way - TMI about the loo or composting toilet outhouse. Just my opinion is not to show the lid up.
I have so much fun watching your videos, and it’s such a joy to see how much fun you have together and how much you love each other. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us.
We really enjoyed this episode and your Glamping tents looking amazing, great fun, everything thought of and such stupendous views of the beautiful Dorset countryside with views to the sea too. We did wonder about the Fire Pit too! Your breakfast looked delicious but a comment would be that Luke is right 'eggy bread' was a great childhood breakfast but we would have made it by whisking a broken egg in to a cup/mug (which you could perhaps provide) with a fork and then pouring it all over both sides of the bread in the pan and then cooking it. Really tasty! We wish you great success with your Glamping business! Best wishes Christina and Nick, Crediton, Devon, UK.
Kebab in American English is kebab with a long "a," yes! Marauder is said almost the same, but the "aw" sound of the middle syllable is a little less pronounced. I like Luke's description of the breakfast - "stodgy and high in carbs"! Looks like a lovely camp site.
What a wonderful site for clamping. The meals looked delicious and to be surrounded by beauty and nature sounds sounds lovely. Thanks for the English lessons and giggles.
When you camp outside, it resets your internal clock. Quite good for you, actually and good for your health and peace of mind. You slept like a baby, says it all. I love camping, y'all made this so much fun, thanks! Enjoyed it so much! I grew up in Montana, so this is right up my alley. Thanks always for sharing. 🌿🌺🧡
Hello , I love the glamping episode. You both bring a smile to my face with your obviously great rapport . I hope one day to visit , but due to the economy being so bad here it’s hard to travel . We’re going through a really hard time with our furniture interior design business , may go bankrupt but we’re still planning on moving to nsw to the southern highlands for a new start . Your vlogs keep us going so thank you so much . Matthew
I went "Glamping" with some friends before I really knew what it was. It was defined perfectly when I saw her sitting at a desk in front of her tent adhering her false lashes the following morning!😉BTW on Julie's behalf, I can't remember the last time I used the word "Marauder."🤺
We recently glamped in a bell tent near Rye. Do you know there is a company in Engeland that can wash the tent and impregnate it again? Our tent felt like new but had been in use for several years!
I think a good idea would be to put some cute natural linen pennants onto the tent strings so you can see them in the dark and not trip. So fun to see the beautiful countryside! I'm planning my trip in my dreams tonight😉
Great idea! I love it! I saw a movie on Hallmark and they did a glamping outing and it was amazing! Yes, please be careful with your fire pit, etc! Maybe, fire resistant pad of of some type, stone, cement or something could be put down. Besides that, Just a question though, are there any snakes or anything dangerous around? Sorry! Just wondering!
Imagine a bit of wind blowing your campfire, and one spark flitting into the dry grass...thats all it takes to start a nightmare that no extinguisher will be fast enough to put out before it spreads.
Do you have a cooler to put your milk, etc in to keep it cold and from spoiling? Sorry! The view is gorgeous and your food looks delicious!!!! Wonderful staff!!!! The showers look wonderful! I'm going to make eggy toast for my breakfast! Thank you for sharing your glamping!
Glamping looks liked so much Fun. The peace. The serenity The fabulous view. I love it so Much. But I live in the u.s.a missing so much. Love looking At everything that you two do
Everything was beautiful and funny (actually I remembered Lord Bret Sinclair camping in The Persuaders), but isn’t it a little dangerous considering the dry season and quite yellow grass? Anyway, wonderful chapter of your life.
My grandmother made fried toast for us when we were children, I made it for my children and now my grand children. It is loved by all! Much better than toasted bread. Julie, Julie, Julie….sometimes I am quite surprised by the things you believe to be English, yet those very things are very familiar to me…a multi generational American Texan, born and raised! I do realize that “American” traditions are actually carried over from our ancestors, many of whom came from England. I Love your channels, and am a great fan. I even purchased the History of Mapperton book. Very good and filled with interesting information. I highly recommend!
He in Alabama, ive eat eggs over medium and fried bread my whole life. With grits sometimes. My fried bread is self rising flour and very cold water, mixed to the consistency of thick pancake batter, poured in skillet the size of a medium pancake. Fried in lard, or crisco til brown on both sides.
Hello Luke & Julie.. your glamping opportunity looks like an awesome experience. Great idea as business project. Great job on glamping tent set up. Love the inside stove and watching Luke make breakfast..whoever heard of "eggy bread?" Julie, as an American, I totally get it.. the Brits are remarkable about what they call things! I'm sure you will sell out on weekends this August 2022. Love your channels. Your Northern California friend, Jane Wyen
Absolutely charming I LOVE it, just wish it was here in the states! Interesting breakfast will have to give it a try.🤤 Thinking the grill shouldn't be touching the tall grass. Perhaps cutting the grass short in a circular pattern & line the outside with river rocks so there's no chance of a brush fire? A fire pit with some wood logs for seats would be a nice addition as well. Other than that total perfection! 👌❤
You both never fail to make me smile & have a laugh! Love the glamping and the views of the typical hedgerow farmland, as well as the rewilding countryside views. Something uniquely British to go to. It’s so unusual to see dry grass in England instead of lush green hills after the exceptionally hot summer! It’s a pity planning doesn’t allow it to be open longer. I’d love to sit there watching the late sunset with some of your elderflower bubbly!
I was horrified, as well, seeing the fire bowl surrounded by tall dry grass. Even if it weren't sitting in the grass itself, sparks flying out on the breeze could ignite a fire. I'm so glad that didn't happen. I'm glad you both enjoyed your little adventure. You both made me smile over the word marauding ( pronounced ma-rodding). I bet you've seen the word before. Its just that when Luke said the word it did sound as if he had marbles in his mouth to my American ear. So I wasn't surprised you had trouble saying it. Life's fun moments.😎
I think your idea of giving the glamping customers a tee shirt is a fantastic idea. Plus having them for sale is a great idea.
I have to agree with others regarding the need to clear the grass away from the tent site and especially the fire pit outside. It would be a catastrophe if the grass caught fire and spread. It happens so easily and so fast. Good luck with this addition to the Mapperton adventures. Im sure you will have lots of bookings. xx
I yelled out loud when I saw that. But, conditions are different maybe.
Absolutely, and with the intense heat as we have had during this summer the grass is dry and will catch up fire, burn and spread very quickly. Beside that, Julie, you made me chuckle out loud when trying to remember the name of this delicious English breakfast ... it was hilarious! Thank you.

@@jillw892 Your joking right!
As the daughter of a fire chief, I got very nervous to see an open fire pit near tall grass. One spark and....
@Jocelyne Bordage, I did too, i was thinking oh wayyyyy too close! Love the rest though.
I thought that ImMEDIately. I’m in Florida with burn bans. Eeeek I so want to go camping in Mapperton. Even if it’s the only thing I ever do in the UK I have to visit Mapperton I love this channel
Oh gosh it’s England. Not California. It’s fine.
Dry grass burns in England, too!
@@magik_ly4956 lol
I just have to say that we LOVE Luke and his messy hair! It’s such a part of who he is as a person, he wouldn’t look right if his hair was neat and tidy all the time. Luke’s hair definitely contributes to his boyishly handsome (possibly even rakish) good looks! No changing of the hair, please.

This is a beautiful setup and I'm definitely going to stay a night the next time I'm in England.
Seriously, I thought the exact same thing. It's dry grass, it's fire season.
Yes, I immediately thought of the scene in Doc Martin when Morwenna and Al went glamping and burned down the yurt.
Conditions may be different. But, I also yelled out loud at that scene. That comes from living in wooded fire country.
@@tildarosander1339 Hey Tilda -I yelled from Texas!!
I've thought about maybe staying there but other than the fact I can't go there right now in general I try to avoid wildfires
Maybe soon because - LOOK at that view!!
Wow as if they didn't have enough work, do you want them to come to your house and boss you around, Christian?
Looks so fun! I like seeing how very American Julie is: open, entrepreneurial, and willing to roll up her sleeves and work hard. (No insults to anyone intended!)
Thank you so much!
I have always loved her enthusiasm!
Everything they do is just purely delightful to watch.
I live in Tennessee and really enjoy watching British television. Your channel is much better than the tv shows I've seen. Thank You for sharing.
thank you so much!
Agreed
yes - much better than anything on TV!
@@hw85-x5z Hey neighbor!
I, too, agree that the grass needs to be reduced substantially. Another problem is the small ridge you have behind your tent. That needs to be removed, or you will be unhappy when it rains hard and the tent floor is soaked or worse, your bed starts to float toward the sea...LOL
Advise from California: Please consider mowing / clearing the tons of dry grass. You are lighting fires and accidents can happen!!
Absolutely love your show from Texas 🥰😍😄😃

a couple lounge type chairs on the deck to relax in and watch the view would be a nice addition
This was a great idea to film the glamping experience - it's a great visual of what it would be like. 💛💛
I think you should put this video on the camping info website showing it done.! Lovely area.
Kebab in American English is kebab with a long "a," yes! Marauder is said almost the same, but the "aw" sound of the middle syllable is a little less pronounced. I like Luke's description of the breakfast - "stodgy and high in carbs"! Looks like a lovely camp site.
What a wonderful site for clamping. The meals looked delicious and to be surrounded by beauty and nature sounds sounds lovely. Thanks for the English lessons and giggles.
When you camp outside, it resets your internal clock. Quite good for you, actually and good for your health and peace of mind. You slept like a baby, says it all. I love camping, y'all made this so much fun, thanks! Enjoyed it so much! I grew up in Montana, so this is right up my alley. Thanks always for sharing. 🌿🌺🧡
Fried eggs and fried bread are delicious! We have that for breakfast quite often 🙂 -Mobile, Alabama (USA)
Hello , I love the glamping episode. You both bring a smile to my face with your obviously great rapport . I hope one day to visit , but due to the economy being so bad here it’s hard to travel . We’re going through a really hard time with our furniture interior design business , may go bankrupt but we’re still planning on moving to nsw to the southern highlands for a new start . Your vlogs keep us going so thank you so much . Matthew
Looks peaceful..😊
My Colombian friend stayed at one,
Bit very finished and in ultra comfortable.

Slab must be poured
I went "Glamping" with some friends before I really knew what it was. It was defined perfectly when I saw her sitting at a desk in front of her tent adhering her false lashes the following morning!😉BTW on Julie's behalf, I can't remember the last time I used the word "Marauder."🤺
We recently glamped in a bell tent near Rye. Do you know there is a company in Engeland that can wash the tent and impregnate it again? Our tent felt like new but had been in use for several years!
What a great option to offer your guests!
We love “glamping”, however we do it in an RV!😊
We tent camped for years, though!
Blessings 🙏
I think a good idea would be to put some cute natural linen pennants onto the tent strings so you can see them in the dark and not trip. So fun to see the beautiful countryside! I'm planning my trip in my dreams tonight😉
Gosh I really enjoyed this episode. I guess I have to come visit. Thank you for sharing.
Hi how are you doing?
Great idea! I love it! I saw a movie on Hallmark and they did a glamping outing and it was amazing! Yes, please be careful with your fire pit, etc! Maybe, fire resistant pad of of some type, stone, cement or something could be put down. Besides that, Just a question though, are there any snakes or anything dangerous around? Sorry! Just wondering!
Imagine a bit of wind blowing your campfire, and one spark flitting into the dry grass...thats all it takes to start a nightmare that no extinguisher will be fast enough to put out before it spreads.
A weekend break on your own land... a change is as good as a rest 👍🏻
Wonderful episode! Clamping at Mapperton looks terrific!
Do you have a cooler to put your milk, etc in to keep it cold and from spoiling? Sorry! The view is gorgeous and your food looks delicious!!!! Wonderful staff!!!! The showers look wonderful! I'm going to make eggy toast for my breakfast! Thank you for sharing your glamping!
Love you two great glamping we did it in australia
Glamping looks liked so much
Fun. The peace. The serenity
The fabulous view. I love it so
Much. But I live in the u.s.a
missing so much. Love looking
At everything that you two do
Fabulous!
Everything was beautiful and funny (actually I remembered Lord Bret Sinclair camping in The Persuaders), but isn’t it a little dangerous considering the dry season and quite yellow grass? Anyway, wonderful chapter of your life.
My grandmother made fried toast for us when we were children, I made it for my children and now my grand children. It is loved by all! Much better than toasted bread. Julie, Julie, Julie….sometimes I am quite surprised by the things you believe to be English, yet those very things are very familiar to me…a multi generational American Texan, born and raised! I do realize that “American” traditions are actually carried over from our ancestors, many of whom came from England. I Love your channels, and am a great fan. I even purchased the History of Mapperton book. Very good and filled with interesting information. I highly recommend!
Loved this episode! You guys are such fun.....💚💙💜
One of my top 10 fav episodes! Looks amazing. Thank you.
ps who makes your pjs?!?!? Too cute
He in Alabama, ive eat eggs over medium and fried bread my whole life. With grits sometimes.
My fried bread is self rising flour and very cold water, mixed to the consistency of thick pancake batter, poured in skillet the size of a medium pancake.
Fried in lard, or crisco til brown on both sides.
Hello Luke & Julie.. your glamping opportunity looks like an awesome experience. Great idea as business project. Great job on glamping tent set up. Love the inside stove and watching Luke make breakfast..whoever heard of "eggy bread?" Julie, as an American, I totally get it.. the Brits are remarkable about what they call things! I'm sure you will sell out on weekends this August 2022. Love your channels. Your Northern California friend, Jane Wyen
The marauder bit was hilarious!
Love from Tucson Arizona, Southwest America 🇺🇸
OMG, I'm in the Pacific Northwest in the US that has fires everywhere. Please, no fire pits or build a very bricked area and cut down the grass.
I grew up in Germany and my Dad made fried bread for us with sliced fried sausage. Delicious.
I so love watching you two. You are so cute together.
Hi how are you doing?
@@Godwinpounds4333 Good, and you? By the way, who are you?
@@nanetterode8100 I’m doing great just trying to be nice and friendly that all. It’s nice meeting with you here. Where are you texting from?
@@Godwinpounds4333 Annapolis, MD. Where are you from?
@@nanetterode8100 I’m from Florida. How’s the weather condition over there?
Marauders ☺️😍you guyz are the cutest!
Beautiful area for camp 🏕
Beautiful views of the property! Happy you got to have a restful sleep and stay warm.
I'm glad I found y'all again . I stopped getting alerts.
There’s a 2016 American movie called “Marauders”, set in Cincinnati. Good word.
Definitely agree about the grass and fires.
Absolutely charming I LOVE it, just wish it was here in the states! Interesting breakfast will have to give it a try.🤤
Thinking the grill shouldn't be touching the tall grass. Perhaps cutting the grass short in a circular pattern & line the outside with river rocks so there's no chance of a brush fire? A fire pit with some wood logs for seats would be a nice addition as well. Other than that total perfection! 👌❤
Stunning scenery ! ❤️❤️❤️
It really is!
You both never fail to make me smile & have a laugh! Love the glamping and the views of the typical hedgerow farmland, as well as the rewilding countryside views. Something uniquely British to go to. It’s so unusual to see dry grass in England instead of lush green hills after the exceptionally hot summer! It’s a pity planning doesn’t allow it to be open longer. I’d love to sit there watching the late sunset with some of your elderflower bubbly!
I was horrified, as well, seeing the fire bowl surrounded by tall dry grass. Even if it weren't sitting in the grass itself, sparks flying out on the breeze could ignite a fire. I'm so glad that didn't happen. I'm glad you both enjoyed your little adventure. You both made me smile over the word marauding ( pronounced ma-rodding). I bet you've seen the word before. Its just that
when Luke said the word it did sound as if he had marbles in his mouth to my American ear. So I wasn't surprised you had trouble saying it. Life's fun moments.😎
Ok you have to work on those BBQ skills! Here in Australia we would say "Mate turn down the flame" medium heat and cook slower lol
