My experiences of Silverstone have always been rather soggy and squelchy...

No wellies, just waterproof walking boots - they're easier to use on the bike. Years ago when the current GP circuit was inaugurated, they allowed the public to cycle the circuit - I did three laps on a Dahon Espresso folder in full cold weather wear plus walking boots with one of the F3 drivers drafting me down Hangar Straight at one pointDon't forget the wellies!!! Or the thermals...
Seriously, have fun.
. Thermals are a one of the first things packed for any visit to Sillystone

On a folder... That's pure class!
Thing is, I have to wade knee deeper in the mud than everyone else - hence wellies.
Thermals and a change of clothes went with me wherever I was working the fenceline. Although there was one memorable meeting at Snett, where I ended up having to dry my jeans on the car heater cos I'd actually run out of dry clobber...
Or a meeting at Rockingham (actually, that was the rally in December) where it was so cold that I was wearing everything I'd brought with me and I still wasn't warm enough...

I had Duck for dinner last night, pan griddled with a Mushroom Risotto.
There might be some at the bottom of the garden. A pair of mallard ducks seem to have taken up residence.

Morning. I have forgotten what I was going to say . 
Oh yes ! It is sort of sunny . There must be a bit of thin cloud about. Just as I said that the sun broke through.
Recovering from our holiday. I think the drive down wore me out and then the return has done likewise. Looking back at it there were more things we could have done if we had the energy. The trains stopped near where we were staying and were frequent ,so we could have made more use of them . There was a place where you could hire cycles. I had a look at them , not being keen on cycling or anything like that . They had a tandem for hire, but that might have resulted in a stay in hospital, both of us learning to ride one at the same time . 
I am about to make another

*Bin news*.
Almost swooned yesterday when I got home . Instead of leaving the bin blocking the pavement like usual the binmen had gone to the huge effort of poking it back on my path.
It was the blue recycling bin BTW.

Sorry to hear that.
Teenagers and diabetes don't mix, do they.
Is there a support group with any younger adults that can help him, independently from mum and dad?
