A few of you may know that back in June I went to Chichester for Festival of Speed at Goodwood. Even though I don't particularly like or enjoy cars and had a good time there.


I had to wake up at 5am which was a nightmare as I only went to sleep five hours prior as a dance show kept me up late. I slept a large chunk of the way to the festival and we arrived at 8am. When we entered we met up with another family which we are friends with and I got a bit suspicious when people at stands were offering me free things (they were meant to).

As the day went on the males in the group were off all over the place looking at racing and stands, which left us sitting on a picnic blanket in the middle of a cricket pitch. The only stand which took my interest was the Canon stand, they had a competition (which I obviously haven't won) and loads of the cameras with massive professional lenses on them, I was allowed to take a picture with one. I also picked up a I 'heart' Canon badge.

There was then an air show put on by the Red Arrows which I got a few pictures of and then a show done by Tornado which was just one fly by. After that we had a bit of a wander looking at the different stands, we went in to Mini and looked at the new model of car which is released in October I think, we weren't allowed to take in phones or camera's so I don't have any pictures of that. We then got the picnic food from the car and ate, I definitely ate too much as when Typhoon (another air show) was flying I fell asleep in the sun!

All-in-all I had a great time. We want to go back next year but for two days so we're able to see more and go around the whole festival. Another thing which I gained from this trip is strap marks on my back and tanned knees from wearing ripped skinny jeans as the weather was absolutely beautiful!

Sorry for the lack of posts but it's now the summer holidays so expect hearing from me much more!
