First let me start by thanking Peter and Angela Ramsden, my previous hosts, they looked after me very well and are a lovely couple. Thanks also to Peter, aka Dr Didj, for the repair job on the didgeridoo so that we could auction it and raise some money for the Polio Plus cause (£380 is not too bad).
Just a quick note to everyone back home, sorry for the lack of postcards, they obviously got lost in the mail, i'm sure i'd beat them home if i sent one now.
Back to business, being that YT has given an overview of last week and weekend, i will start with a visit that was very exciting for me...The Rolls Royce and Bentley workshop/dealership. This was AMAZING!!!!!
To see some of these beautiful cars in all their splendour was great but to actually get to sit inside some of them was even better (next step is to get them to let me drive one). Not only did i enjoy it though but the others did enjoy the history of the company.
For those wondering, the answer is yes, i did make a purchase at this place and i am in fact the proud owner of 2 Bentley's. I can't wait to show you all upon our return home.
The Imperial War Museum was also amazing, the aircraft are amazing but the potential for destruction by these exhibits was also quite humbling. I'm sure we will be able to add some pics soon so that people can get a feel for how amazing it was.
Running out of time now but punting was great, Johnson Matthey was very interesting as was Royston Cave for those of us who could stay awake and Wimpole Hall was awesome (i shall let the Culture Vulture report on this though).
Anyway, until next time...
