Following the disappointment of Latitude and its distinct
lack of hippies and the like, we’d signed up at the last minute to do Big Green

After yet another balloon flight cancellation in Marlborough
we headed for the WOMAD site, near Malmesbury. Avebury is one of our favourite

through it. The stones ... Read more >

Unfortunately, but predictably, we got stung for MOT repairs to Vinnie. Of a list of a dozen or so faults I managed to fix about 5 of them, armed with just a pocket knife. For the rest we needed to leave Vinnie at the garage in Cambridge for nearly ... Read more >

The next day we had our longest
drive to date – across to Birchington in Kent to meet up with a long lost

We left Bath and headed back to Glastonbury/Street through the Mendips. Vinnie didn’t like the uphill bits and narrow lanes much. We parked up at our favourite spot in Street and did the last minute shopping stuff in Glastonbury itself. Tom was on the ... Read more >

Bath is a town planner’s victory! Lots of glorious buildings

After breakfast with Vic and Peter we headed to north with a

spire or similar). We then headed ... Read more >
