Mini tour starts tomorrow..............
.................................... with Redfive being my chosen motor for this trip. Off up to the smoke and staying at Michaels in North London. Going for a very special reason which I’ll reveal later on.
I must also visit Val’s grave as I’ve not been there since August on what would have been our 25th wedding anniversary. Going to be catching up with a few neighbours from Barkingside plus seeing friends in Enfield, Dartford and Hackney. And attending the Ely breakfast meet on Sunday, where I’ll be dropping off some cushions. Then I’ll be returning home to Saltash. So should you see us heading up the A38, M5, M4 and onto the M25, oh! How I have missed the car park, not. Then coming off at South Mimms and towards Totteridge. Don’t forget to flash, toot or wave. I’ll keep the diary running as I know we have a following.

Uneventful trip.....................
........................................... in four and half hours including one stop. Redfive gobbled up the 252 miles without and problems at Warp Factor 3 where applicable, other than the roadworks. Even the M25 was kind with no delays whatsoever. Our only hold up was from South Mimms towards Sterling Corner on the A1. There had been a fatal crash on t’other side. So the approach roads were solid. But I took the road towards Arkley, where they made the wee sports car years ago, and skirted around the hold ups.
Parked on the overgrown driveway at Michaels only to find he had gone to work, but I have keys and after entering Fort Knox i’m Now unwinding with a cup of cha, and maybe another one in awhile. Saw a MK 1 White Gold Tourer on the A38, they were Southbound, at the Newton Abbot turn off. Next sighting was not till the M4 when a 05 plate ZT swept past. Le Mans Green I think. Next was a Orange MG GS. Other than the Trophy Yellow ZR that followed me over the Tamar no-one else was seen.

The main reason why I’m here is.......................
......................................... to finally get the answers surrounding the circumstances for my brothers death a year ago.
Some of you may remember that I received the news that my brother David had not only passed away but the funeral had been held without my knowledge. Gutted is one way of putting it. Any way to cut a long story short I have finally got my sister in law to meet me and discuss the issue. Naturally enough I’ve had to travel up to get the answers. We are meeting at her solicitors at 11am in Southend on Sea. I plan to leave here at 9am and travel down. Last night my brother in law Michael cooked an excellent meal, well sort of. Roast duck breast without the orange sauce, broccoli spears, baby corn on the cob and one, yes just one, potato waffle. It was nice but not very filling. Michael then asked if I would like some fresh fruit for dessert. I was expecting a fruit salad but I just got the choice between an apple or a pear. I chose the conference pear and he had the apple. Still it’s the thought that counts. By 10pm I was really tired, I left him watching the news about the Brexit deal, we had only watched the news 5 times in the evening. Climbed into the softest bed I know and nodded straight off. My bladder woke me up, twice. But other than that slept well. Tea? Oh! Go on then i’ll Have another cuppa before setting off.
