I went to a garden party at Nick's house...

Nick Mason, that is.

Apparently, they do lots for the Air Ambulance and for my 50th, my kids took me.... Well, I drove, they paid.. To his place just south of Castle Coombe. It chucked it down but that didn't dampen our day.

Full album here

Highlights were naturally a couple of old Italian knackers.

Letting all that expensive metal sit in the rain is a baller move, though.

We were there on the Sunday. We didn’t get rained on but did get caught up in this for over an hour. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyv4z05p9eo.amp Luckily there were a couple of planes doing loop the loops to entertain us over the field we were parked in.

I was quite surprised how ‘lived in’ his house appeared to be. I always assume people with that sort of money have houses dotted around the globe so they don’t spend that much time in each, but I guess he’s getting on a bit now and CBA. Nice of him to open up his grounds and bring the cars out.

I’ll hijack with a few pics.


The LaF looked quite understated. Might have been the colour

That Lola has a lovely condiment rack for when you're having a BBQ (charcoal, not gas obviously, darling)

Shame the tray table doesn't move. Looks an uncomfortable stretch once you've sat down.

Luckily, the mounting system for it is on wheels and is even powered!
