So I've been sort of wanting to write this post for a few weeks but not sure if I would publish it. I really made steps forward with the blog in 2020. Given the year that we all had that was good going and I was really pleased where the year ended. 2021 came around and I was looking forward to moving it forward more. But I haven't. Blogging in Covid is hard. I've just drawn a blank on a lot of things. I have my many posts of Route 66 to finish and I want to get those done but I had so many other plans for what I wanted to write about. However some of those things are on hold because of COVID. I've got a few hotel…
I wrote my 2020 Goals in Mid January. Who would know what we would be facing only a few months later. The global pandemic wiped out a load of what we had planned for 2020!! So in writing my 2021 goals what have I thought about? Well some of what we set out to achieve in 2020 actually happened. I didn't list all of my goals in the post but one of the personal goals was getting a promotion at work. That happened in May.

With some carry over from 2020 and then some new ones for 2021. Plus some that…

Just before xmas we headed off to Lapland Silverstone. For me (and anyone who knows me) I'm a massive petrol head. The fact that we did Route 66, Indy 500, and multiple other race events should give you this clue! So for the ability to take our own car onto the world famous Silverstone Race Circuit was something that we couldn't turn down. To add even more to this the track was being lit up with lots of lighting and effects. Given that this is the day job and something I'm equally passionate about the whole Lapland experience was like a perfect match! So one cold December evening we headed off to Silverstone. As we approached the circuit from a good few miles away you could see all the…
As part of my 2020 goals I set out to do this blog more than I had in the past! I think I've achieved this. The following, levels of interaction and stats prove this! So thank you for reading the posts. For a blog that's mostly based on travel and experiences I've occasionally struggled with the content that I've put up. However there are some great posts that I'm really happy with. So if you are a new reader have a look at my Top 5 posts of 2020! Still as topical as it was on the first time that it was written! This post covered off my recent (September) travel to Germany for work. This post was really popular given that many people at the time hadn't travelled since…
