I had a really enjoyable day at Millbrook today. This was courtesy of one of my clients. As their web-site says…
“Millbrook is one of Europe’s leading locations for the development and demonstration of every type of land vehicle, from motorcycles and passenger cars to heavy commercial, military and off-road vehicles”.
I managed to
Drove a Porsche at 100mph
Was a passenger in a Volvo doing 160 mph
Went off-road in an XC90
Took part in an F1 Car simulator
Drove a Mazda MX7 on a timed sprint
Flew a helicoptor (if only for 20 seconds or so!)
..and loads of other stuff
They don’t allow you to take mobile phones onto the premises. When I got back to the car at around 5.45 there were six missed calls! Ann had been rushed to hospital, having fainted at work. This was very unusual. Ann is as strong as an ox medically speaking and it was a real shock. They wired her up to all sorts of machines and did a whole load of tests. The results were promising. Nothing serious although it may be a bladder infection or a grumbling appendix.
Ann spoke to Mae who seems to be recovering well.

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
