Olaf, thank you hugely for that, and for letting interlopers in at seven eighths distance. A perfect night in so many ways.
Apart from the abomination that was Streat Lane. Just a month ago I was extolling the virtues to Dellzeqq himself about what a wonderful job they had done on it by relaying whole stretches of the surface which had taken a knock through the winter. Not only was it gorgeously smooth it was also pot hole free.
Sadly, they tarred and chipped the whole bloody length of it on Thursday. Really really really not nice.
By the time we hauled away this evening it was already an order of magnitude better.
Kids were delighted (once again) to be a part of the ride and hats off to Mrs H who has assumed coffee duties without any complaining (and also has to wake and prepare the children).
Stu, thank you very much for looking after Joe on his way up the hill, and Adam, thank you for taking on that responsibility to the top of the hill by the golf course.
Apologies for not joining Team Beer. We headed instead to the other Wetherspoons (and bumped into Trickedem and set him on the right way) and then for the front to watch such wonders as a 7 litre Cortina Mk II try to get from one end of Madeira Drive to the other as fast as possible (and in one piece).
After watching the morning session there we headed back to the van on Streat Lane where I survived without nodding off until 10pm.
Happy days.
