Lady M’s nephew stayed over this weekend, bringing a slightly serious and logical air to proceedings as only he can with his innocent directness that can make him sound like an old man in a young body.

I had to work on Saturday, so Lady M took him out to the Brooklands Museum. A history of engineering and cars captivated him, and when I got home I was regaled with tales of simulators and volunteer engineers closely quizzed on what they were doing. We then watched films and played games for the rest of the afternoon.

He was picked up to go home this afternoon, still grinning and telling everyone about the things he’d seen, so a success I guess.
