The family went to Silverstone last Sunday to see what could be the final Formula One Grand Prix there, if Donnington can get its act together by next year. Sadly, unlike our first visit last year, we didn’t get to see a British win, despite Jenson’s dominant form this season. On a brighter [...]

Spent an enjoyable day watching Spitfires and other fantastic old aircraft performing at Duxford, near Cambridge. For most of the day, the great English weather attempted to drown us, but the sun came out eventually.

Had a wonderful week touring Germany, visiting friends and relatives. We were fortunate to be at my brother in law’s house on Saturday evening, during a burst of clear skies, to photograph the lunar eclipse. Apparently it was cloudy and pouring with rain at home. Fantastic… my photos attached.

Had a great day enjoying Red Bull’s hospitality at the London Air Race. Sadly, the British hopeful Paul Bonhomme took out one of the gates and didn’t as a result make it to the last 4. Oh well, lots of champagne and Vodka and Red Bull softened the blow.

Had a fantastic, if rather damp, day today at Silverstone, watching Lewis Hamilton win the British Grand Prix. Here’s a shot I took of Lewis leading the race, which he did for pretty much the whole time. The long queues, the mud, the cold and the rain were worth it to see such [...]

Back at Wimbledon this week, courtesy of BA’s ad agency, BBH. Saw the “big 2″ in action, Federer and Nadal. Both trounced their opponents rather comprehensively. Very impressive. Looking forward to what should be a great final, although we won’t be able to watch it live since we’ll be at the [...]

Spent the day hosting at Wimbledon. The great English weather made a brief attempt to spoil proceedings, but the rain mainly fell whilst we were enjoying a rather fine lunch. Pretty soon, we were enjoying Roger Federer making short work of Marc Gicquel on Centre Court. Lots of champagne and the odd [...]

We celebrated my parents’ golden wedding anniversary last weekend at Sopwell House near St Albans. It was a great family occasion and for once, even the weather obliged with blue skies and sunshine.
