Oh My God!!!!!!!!!!! What a weekend!!!!
Its long and drawn out so if your still alive by the end of it well done
Saturday
We headed off to Silverstone, late!! not happy but when we got there it was all worth it. We walked around all the cars and bumped into loads of BTCC's finest!! I saw Tom Chilton, Matt Neal, Rob Collard, Alex MacDowell, Colin Turkington and Gordon Sheddon :giggle: Jason Plato was sat in his team area so didnt get a proper glimpse of him!! Im rather miffed i didnt have anything to write on until after we saw them all because i could have filled my programme with all those signatures! Nevermind, always next year
We didnt do much else at Silverstone, watched som of the qualifying and decided to head off to the hotel to check in. Milton Keynes awaited us!!
I dont think i've ever loved premier inn so much! the bed was lovely, the room was lovely the only thing i wasnt happy with was there was no diet food at the Beefeater! So i decided i would have fun, relax, enjoy my weekend and diet on Monday! and im so glad i did!!! That Rodeo Burger was bloody amazing!!!
After tea we went for a drive and ended up at Elstree Studios where Big Brother is
We had a walk down the road and coulds see the actual real life compound where Josie and crew were and also the control room for BB. I did take a piccie but its pretty crap because it was dark! :giggle:
Then we decided to see how far away Landaaaaan was and headed off to the London Eye!!
I drove through the centre of London!!!!!!
I pooped my pants but it was worth it. We stood next to the Thames and just watched the river, the London Eye and Big ben with the Houses of Parliament! Granted i didnt realise i was in the centre till i drove past big ben!!
On the way back i got bullied out of the way by a Mercedes Mclaren SLR, 2 Aston Martins and a BMW, all racing!! And Rick swears down he saw James May
We didnt get back to the hotel till 1am!!
Sunday
This was track day
and Silverstone was heaving!!! I had my sharpie and programme at the ready for autographs :giggle: I qued for 40 mins to get an autograph from Jason Plato and asked him to make it to my little lady :giggle: which he did and i was ever so ever so pleased! the problem was that by this point the pit lane was shutting so i didnt manage to get any other autographs! But i only went for Plato's so i was reallllly impressed!
We decided to go for a walk around the team areas after and i spotted Mel C!!!! Her brother races for those who dont know :giggle: So i asked her to sign my programme and she did on her brothers page. She's alot smaller than i thought but lovely!!
Rick thought i was talking to a random person :giggle:
We watched a load of races and the Red Arrows air display team and a few other air diplays!
It was so hot i have lovely panda eyes from my sunglasses. We didnt take suncream because it was supposed to pour with rain all weekend!!
typical!!!!!
We left a few laps before the end of the last race and got home for just after 7pm!
We had a bloody brilliant weekend!! It was like we were teenagers again and i cant wait until next year!!!!
Now im back to normality, and diet of course!!!! :giggle:
