Jane & Kate have organised the inaugural WTF at The Ivy. I am not sure WTF WTF stands for but am assured it doesn’t stand for WTF but instead is something to do with “Wives” but that’s all I know.
Anyway me and the chaps (plus honorary chap) are having the usual MCF at The Gay Hussar in Greek Street – assuming this slow (but very cheap) train gets in on time.

On the 8:33
Early start, stop off for Sausage & Egg McMuffin and on the train in good time for hopefully a nice weekend.
We are off to London for the weekend. Friday’s itinerary includes me going to the annual MCF organised by one of my best friends – Keef. Jane is meeting Kate for the inaugural WTF (don’t ask because I don’t know!). Saturday is Ghost (show) followed by Ronnie Scott’s.
Mitcar
Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire – Sunday 14th August 2011
MITCAR is the annual Midlands event for owners of Italian cars, whether modern or classic. It is held on a Sunday in late summer, usually August.
Old Hall and an Aston
Had a few laps in an Aston Martin Vantage today. Nice car. Very easy to drive fast but not what I would choose to buy if I had the money.
The drive was at an aerodrome circuit near Stafford. Jane came with me (not quite sure why) so we popped in to the Old Hall on the way back for a very late lunch. Very nice sandwich followed by some cheesecake.
Old Hall Hotel
When I first moved to Sandbach I stayed at the Old Hall Hotel for about three weeks while I decorated the house. That was about 1992. Unfortunately the hotel closed and was left to rack and ruin until last year when a local pub restaurant company bought it. They have done a superb renovation job on it. Jane and I visited tonight. Well impressed.
