Yes Terry, there’s two things that HAVE to happen this year.
1/ Walk Laura down the aisle on Bank holiday weekend.
2/ Rendezvous 22 the weekend after with you lot.
I had to give up on Spa Classic & Le Mans 24 plus several other events, I’ve
got a few weeks to sort myself out so I can be there for family & friends.
I’ve even cut down on bacon…I’m a whole new man!

Thanks for all the replies.
Have to say Lin I did notice a whiff of damp Labrador at the meet last
weekend, looks like B’s taking his plan to extremes.
All the best

However Baz thinks he's worked out retirement., He eats, drinks & sleeps in
the afternoon. My thoughts are its just like having an old dog!

Hi all
I hope you are keeping well & able to enjoy the wonderful weather we’re
having at the moment.
Usually at this time of year I would be posting up events to visit & ideas
for a Sunday drive but sadly, for me, this still can’t happen.
As many of you know I had a mini stroke at the end of March, I’m ok & still
recovering but it’s become apparent that going back to work as I did whilst
trying to recover simply wasn’t a good idea. The last couple of weeks have
been a bit iffy & as I result (as a family) the decision was made that the
best thing I could do is to quit work….which I did this week!
So it looks like I’m officially retired, I might do the odd bit of work here
& there on the future but the plan is to get fitter & healthier over the
next few months & see how it goes.
The main problem I have is I can feel great for a few days, plan something
then feel like crap all of a sudden. As such hoofing around in a V8 leading
a convoy probably isn’t a good idea. I am still driving the Griff on
occasions but at my own pace & never venturing far from home.
At this stage that clearly puts a damper on arranging drives out, or
certainly taking part in them. But please don’t let that stop you guys &
girls using this forum to arrange get togethers, please don’t waste this
beautiful spell of weather waiting for me to post something.
I would be more than happy to help with routes etc if that would help, & I’m
happy to keep an eye out & suggest events that might be of interest. You
might also find me putting some ‘last minute’ ideas up if I feel up to it,
this might include something during the week for us old retired fogies.
(Which, let’s face it, is most of us!)
You never know, this might all change in a week & I hope to find myself more
than able to get involved…I bloody hope so, but thought it only fair to
update you on my situation. I’m not ignoring you, I haven’t lost interest,
I’m just a teeny bit buggered at the moment.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, hope to see some of you at the West
Malling event on the 30th….I’ll post up some more details soon.
All the best
Nick
