CarFest!
So, two sleeps to go to the first ever CarFest. As exciting as Christmas except equally as nerve-racking at the same time.
I am sitting in my garden surrounded by site plans - notes, passes for friends and family, and a head that is a ball of confusion. They say "It'll be alright on the night," well let's hope so, bearing in mind there are actually three nights, if you count the seven thousand bods who have informed us they are arriving on Friday afternoon.
Looking at the forecast for tonight around where I live, it does not read well, save I am having to type this blog in the shade of a rather large Redwood tree because the sun is so hot and bright. Please let the satellites and other long range doobries have got it all butt about tutt with regards to the bank holiday meteorological conditions.
Also today, I have been flicking through the auction catalogue for both days. Some beauties in there, I may have to register for a bidding paddle. May it all come out in a joyous Children In Need wash, just not too wet a one.
Adieu.
Peace and Love

Eye up Christopher!
Good luck with CarFest - hope it all goes to plan and don't eat too many pies!
Talking of CiN I guess I need to shake a tailfeather to assemble Team Pudsey for November .....!
Enjoy, and don't forget your AA card.

I'm sure all will run smoothly once the Carfest gets under way, the build up to doing things is always more nerve wracking than actually doing it. I can well imagine this is the case when performing on stage, sick with nerves beforehand but as soon as one is up on the stage relaxing and enjoying it. This is good to build up the adrenaline causing one to perform much better. And nobody does it better than you Chris (I feel a song coming on).
I hope the weekend weather forecast is wrong but, if not, I will be thinking of you all in your soggy tents in the muddy field while I'm tucked up in my cosy bed listening to the sound of the wind and rain on my windows (sorry my envy was getting the better of me there). I hope all will be fine and sunny.
Chitty chitty bang bang we love you! How wonderful that chitty is yours Chris, what fun it must be to drive it.

So happy for Chris, though, the photographs on the website are just so joyous - it is brilliant!
