Highlights & lowlights...

Well, I'm still in the mourning period.  I'm waking up and my first thought is "Wonder where we are going today?"  Then the brain slowly figures out I'm warm, in a house and snuggled up to a beautiful woman, not Gruff.  Either I got lucky or I'm back home.

I'm back home.

I will do a proper update real soon, but I wanted to throw in some teasers about whats coming over the next few weeks.  The intention is to go for 1 update a week, detailing what happened per day.  So 5 days (including the launch night at Brands Hatch) means in 5 weeks time you should have the full story.

Here's my brief notes about whats coming up...
