Goodwood Revival 2011

If ever the phrase ‘in abundance’ was to be used it would be today here at Goodwood Revival. Lord March once again has struck his deal with God and the British weather provides glorious blue skies, where middle aged men are prodded by their wives with suntan lotion. Spitfires fly low and Maserati Birdcages roar round the circuit. Woman look gorgeous in their vintage (literally 1940’s and none of this 1980’s is retro idea), and gentleman revert to raising their seats when a lady leaves the table.  This is a time gone past, something the delicate playground that Lord March provides. This is the playground that my friends and I enjoy so.

Something by a fellow Twitter friend caught my eye this evening: news about Roald Dahl’s shed and how they want to raise £500k to move it down the road in great Missenden to the museum and fully restore it. Like Scott and Shackleton’s Cabins in the Antarctic, I am sure that piece by piece the items (toys, scraps of paper etc) on the table will be placed back exactly as found.
