Saturday, 9th/Sunday, 24th February 2007 – Daventry, Waddesdon, Wetherby We went out for Lynne’s birthday by virtue of Andrea and Bob deciding that we needed to go out and have “a jolly time“, as Bob put it. A long, lazy lunch at Fawsley Hall was just the thing frankly. It’s a lovely place, and the…

Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 4
Monday, 4th December 2006 – Vienna, Day 4 This was really only a fragment of a day as we spent most of it coming back home. I packed before breakfast, then wandered down to Julius Meinl Am Graben, with intent to lay hands on several bottles of wine, some vanilla sugar, and some Pfanni dumpling…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 3
Sunday, 3rd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 3 Sunday was slightly less frenetic than Saturday had been. Again we started with a superb breakfast in the hotel, then took a slow wander along to the Hofburg. It was a chilly day, but we wandered round the outside for a while, and along the Ringstrasse before…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 2
Saturday, 2nd December 2006 – Vienna, Day 2 Saturday got off to a good start (though everyone was a bit sleepy). Breakfast proved to be excellent, with some superb bread and rolls in all shapes, sizes and textures, and hams, cheeses, spreads, jams and things to go with them. There was plenty of fresh fruit,…
Travel 2006 – Vienna, Day 1
Friday, 1st December 2006 – Vienna, Day 1 Friday we were up at some absurd time to haul ourselves to the airport. We picked Steffie up at 6 am and had an easy drive to Heathrow, parking in the Short Stay Car Park which is right next to Terminal 4 (this was a damn good…
Travel 2006 – London, Lacock
Friday, 27th/Sunday, 29th October 2006 – London, Lacock The weekend? What can I say? Well, it was packed, hectic and pretty damn wonderful in all sorts of ways. It just doesn’t seem to have involved enough sleep! Friday started out well, and I worked from home in the morning, while Lynne was out getting her…
Travel 2006 – Mugello
Thursday 7th/Monday 11th September – Mugello, Italy Italy – what can I really say about it? Let’s start with Thursday, which was really entirely eaten up with travelling. We got a good early start on Thursday morning, which turned out to be just as well, because the M40 was grindingly slow after a “police incident”…
Travel 2006 – Brands Hatch, London
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…
