Tomorrow we are off to the Goodwood Festival of Speed. If you’ve ever been or you’re a petrol head like me, you’ll know just how exciting this is! Except I’m not excited. I’d forgotten all about it. My husband had to remind me three times last week that ‘no you can’t...
I went to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year with one eye on the leadership of the event. I came away with 3 thoughts… Impeccable planning. This is a massive event that runs like clockwork and is incresibly impressive. It has a huge array of cars and bikes to...
