Thursday, 7th to Monday, 11th July 2005 – Monza I know I only had three days out of the office, but it still felt like a holiday to me. It started on Wednesday evening, when Skil and Clivio flew in so that Clivio could compete in the GP2 Race, supporting the British Grand Prix at…

Travel 2005 – Silverstone
3rd June 2005 – Silverstone Tests It’s been a busy few days, is all I can say. Lynne stayed up in Silverstone till Wednesday, mostly building bookshelves, but we also went out to the Rice Bowl in Towcester for dinner on Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Gina called round on her way back from Oxford, and…
Travel 2005 – Spa-Francorchamps, Jezus-Eik, Brussels, Belgium
April/May 2005 – Spa-Francorchamps, Jezus-Eik, Brussels Something of a wasted weekend, frankly. As soon as the 2005 calendar was announced, and it became obvious we’d be racing on a number of foreign tracks, I’d been asking anyone who’d listen why it was that we were going to Monza in July when the Italian summer weather…
Travel 2005 – Combloux, Megeve, Bettex, Rochebrune, France
Friday, 26th February – Sunday, 6th March 2005 – Combloux and Megeve We were catching a ridiculously early ferry from Dover – 5.00 or something ghastly – which meant we should be in Combloux by mid-afternoon all being well. It also meant we were staying in a hotel near Dover overnight on Friday, because I…
Travel 2005 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingsbury Episcopi, Montacute
February 2005 – Portishead, Curry Rivel, Kingston Episcopi, Montacute The weekend was excellent, relaxing and interesting too. I picked Lynne up from the station after work and we set off for her parents’ place in Portishead (down near Bristol). Despite horrible traffic bulletins, and the fact that it’s always busy on a Friday night heading…
Travel 2004 – Etoges, France
Thursday, 23rd December 2004 – Etoges, France Were it not just two days before Christmas, I’d be quite happy to be snowed in here… There’s this weird sixth sense Lynne and I seem to possess when it comes to picking hotels and restaurants, and it still works, even after a couple of decades. I’ve clearly…
Travel/Food 2004 – London
Saturday 23rd/Sunday 24th October 2004 – London Well, the weekend was fun (if somewhat damp – torrential rain seemed determined to get us). The Raphael exhibition at the National Gallery was well worth the effort, and thoroughly enjoyable. I’d recommend it highly. There was a fine mix of different works, including some amazing ink drawings,…
Travel 2004 – Valencia, Spain
Friday 15th – Monday 18th October 2004 – Valencia, Spain We made a reasonably timed start, getting away from the filling station in Mougins at 9:00, which is just after the rush hour traffic dies down. It was really just a case of pointing the car at the Mediterranean and then turning right. So long…
