Back from Le Mans
Hallo - I'm back from Le Mans and will be posting my thoughts about this fantastic event on this blog dreckly (good Cornish word). There were loads of Vintage Things that Ill share with you soon.

I haven't just got back, I've been making the most of what has so far been a brilliant summer here in Cornwall. But thanks to one or two of you who appear to have missed my enthusiastic ramblings. I am very well and the lack of activity on this blog is for various reasons but principally because I'm having such a great time away from my computer - probably the best excuse for not blogging anyone can have.
But I've kind of missed sharing my stuff with anyone who's bored enough to read this blog.
I had a great time but it's good to be back.
