Goodwood – Festival of Speed 2026

Yesterday Oliver and Simon head off in Mia for a trip down to the Goodwood Festival of Speed at the Goodwood estate. Around 5 hours (including two stops) was needed with Mia (we travelled at a max of 60mph) to get to the hotel in Guildford.

A 45 minute journey in this morning, skillfully piloted by Oliver, got us into the public car parking on the estate by 7am and we were in the fan zone by 7:10…

We have enjoyed a terrific day in very very hot conditions

Here are a couple of Simon’s favourites…. He is really looking forward to Alan joining our garage in late October… you can see him here with Alan’s whiter brother….

Happy Mothers Day

We wish all mothers a terrific day today and hope that you are able to spend it enjoying those that you have brought into the world and/or helped manage their time on the world, even if that is just a telephone call to connect. You are all incredible people with immense strength and determination to make us all better, more rounded and focused people, for which we are truly thankful. Without you, we would not be and it is highly likely that we don’t acknowledge any of this nearly enough.

Congratulations Elliot 🎉

GCSE’s completed 🤓 Huge congratulations – it was tough but you smashed through them all 👏

A levels unlocked at Pontefract New College 🤩

Computer Science, Business Studies and Economics – wow it is going to be hard work, but a whole lot of fun.

We are super proud of you and look forward to watching this next level as you proceed through your journey of life.

Farewell Nard – until we meet again

Thank you for being a part of our lives. We are stronger and better for knowing you and will of course miss you terribly. The red wine supplies might be a little higher now, but we will not be able to open one without a terrific recollection of sharing a bottle with you going forwards.

Hugo realises that milk and toast may never return to his breakfast menu ☺️ but he will enjoy your garden views as often as he can ❤️

Until we meet again, enjoy occasionally looking down over us all – we will do all we can to keep the wine flowing and the laughter running ❤️🍷🍷
