'The follies of our youth are in retrospect glorious - compared to the follies of our old age'. Not G K Cheston as I thought, but Michael Palin in a 1976 TV comedy.
So my folly was to volunteer to take the E-type off to Southwold to show a 'friend of a friend'. It was looking grim when we set off and got grimmer as we went and I was wondering why I was so keen to show it off. Hubris ?
Anyway as we got nearer the weather got better and we missed most of the rain and pottered into a very busy Southwold High Street. The reward was that we were allowed to park inside the Hotel grounds and delighted the chap who wanted to see it.
Perhaps this is just the start of a Ripping Yarn - Tomkinson's Schooldays in fact - but it ended well with our safe return home through a bit more rain again.
As to last month's scores, a surprising win for the 308 - the run back from Halstead and the show at Culford account for that, followed by the E-type again.
