Just had a great day up at Silverstone for the British GP.....however 10 minutes after arriving home I had a desperate urge to go out on the river for a couple of hours of peace, quiet, tranquility.....pottered up to Sonning Lock; moored; let the lab have a swim; glass of chilled white.....pottered back to the marina...another glass....

Is this just an inevitable result of adjusting to our new life on the river or (more of a concern) another symptom of the onset of middle age?

Answers on a postcard please......

.....ouch! I guess you stayed for the party/fun afterwards. I was so disappointed by Jenson Button's forced retirement that I made the first bus back to the Park n Ride and was back in Reading by 4.30pm (ooops....I didnt say that....it suggests excess speed.....perhaps my watch was wrong :D)....on the river by 4.50pm....chilled by 4.52pm:D
 
.. Also just back from Silverstone (via the local pub). The car part took 3 1/2 hours... had a call from a friend just after the race "We've broken down at Runneymede, can we have a tow?". Bl**dy football fans ;)
