Monday and Tuesday Shaun and I were working hard, 12 hours each day. Wednesday was easier, and Shaun travelled [...]

Ruth and I arranged to have a day off today, so we decided a trip to France was in order After getting up at some ungodly hour, we arrived at Dover about 45 minutes before the departure of the Norfolk Line‘s ‘Maersk Dunkerque’. What a fabulous boat! It’s one of the new craft being introduced [...]
The week before last I was on holiday with Ruth. We stayed at my Parent’s house in the Midlands. We had an excellent tour of Nottingham courtesy of the Brit Experience.

Martyn and myself seem to have acquired a new car. We now have a Xantia Activa 2-litre turbo. It has a 5-speed manual gearbox, and it’s the same green as the Xantia V6 (and the MB, come to that). I had a very quick test drive when we bought it, but Martyn’s been in charge [...]

Last weekend I launched off to Sunny Scotland with the lovely Ruth in Das Loony Mobile (a Mercedes Benz C43 AMG). Scotland is just one of the most gorgeous places you can go to. The trees were changing colour and everywhere was beautiful. We stayed at the Malmaison in Glasgow, which was fabulous. If you [...]
