we're here!

The car is parked, the tent is up and the curse is in place! We are camping at Silverstone golf club which is light years away from Glastonbury camping, but an asteroids throw from the circuit entrance. Proper toilets and showers, this must be how royalty go camping. We are in the golf clubhouse enjoying a tipple and chatting with the locals. The site here has been fully booked for a month, they had lots of phone calls yesterday from people who were even more desperate for a camping space than they were for advance planning. Seeing the Beckets complex as we arrived made it sink in where we are and the excitement is building. It has started raining but the tent needs a wash anyway, only on the outside anyway. Another first for me today, a ride in a golf buggy, when the members of the club go home I plan to get a couple and hold a jousting tournament with the aid of putters. Paul and Sue x
