Saturday 1st/Sunday 2nd, July 2006 – Brands Hatch, London Well, we had a really relaxing weekend at the DTM meeting at Brands Hatch.

Travel 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone, Saturday
Saturday, 10th Jun, 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone Again the day started early, with Glyn (aka Megamarshal) leaving for the circuit at 7am, followed by Wendy and Jane arriving at the house to pick up the two spare hospitality passes we had. We were supposed to be having them on Sunday, but a shift…
Travel 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone
Friday, 9th Jun, 2006 – British Grand Prix, Silverstone The day started horribly early when Skil Piccione called to say they were just leaving Northampton on their way to Silverstone, and she would meet me at the circuit gate. I got ready in nothing flat and headed out of the door, arriving on the approach…
Travel/Food 2006 – Oxford, UK
Saturday, 28th May 2006 – Oxford The weekend was gloomy in weather terms, though we made the most of it. Late on Friday afternoon, Gina arrived for the weekend, and after champagne and the latest episode of Doctor Who we hit the Rice Bowl for Chinese. As usual it was very good. A session on the…
Food/Travel 2006 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingston Episcopi, Muchelney, UK
Saturday, 1st April 2006 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingston Episcopi, Muchelney We recently went west to visit Lynne’s parents, and to coincidentally take a trip to the Somerset Levels in search of smoked eel, cider brandy and history. The trip down was relatively easy once we worked out how to avoid Oxford (they’re digging all…
Travel 2006 – Oxford, UK
Saturday, 4th March 2006 – Oxford College reunions can be dangerous! Where do I start? Good question. There wasn’t anything to suggest the weekend was going to get badly derailed, at least not to begin with. I treated myself to a gym session early on Saturday, knowing we’d be eating lunch and dinner in Oxford,…
Food 2005 – The Vine House, Paulerspury, Northamptonshire
Dinner last night was very fine indeed as we finally made a trip to the Vine House.Even though we were the only people in the restaurant… it made us feel a little guilty, because without us they could have packed up early! Anyway, we started with Kir Royales, because the lovely Julie Springett, who is…
Travel 2005 – Germany
Saturday, 29th October/Sunday, 30th October 2005 – Essen, Germany Friday was the usual routine once we made it to the airport – we headed straight to the seafood place for a meal, then walked to the gate just in time for our flight to Düsseldorf. At the other end it was a quick drive to…
Travel 2005 – Valencia, Spain
Friday, 21st October/Saturday, 22nd October 2005 – Valencia Friday got off to a bad start with torrential rain all over Southern England, and us needing to get to Gatwick Airport to fly out to Spain. The 2005 Girls’ Weekend Away was scheduled to start as soon as we got to the airport. Lynne, Steffy and…
Travel 2005 – Mondello Park, Malahide, Ireland
Saturday, 22nd/Sunday 23rd, September 2005 – Mondello Park, Malahide, Ireland Flying out of anywhere at 07.00 is way too early, especially when they want you to be at the airport at least 40 minutes prior to the flight. We stayed at the Crowne Plaza near to Heathrow overnight, and failed to get any dinner (apart…
