I finally got home today (Thurs) after spending 48 hours in my trailer home trying to work out where 
I was and the time of day. Flight home to London Heathrow from Boston can best be described as Shake 
Rattle and Roll. Substantial turbulence most of the way and I had to wait *three hours* to have my 
in-flight plastic meal as cabin crew had to stay belted as well. Arrival in London in the early 
hours of Tuesday was just as I expected - dark, overcast and raining - as usual :)
But I just want to say one BIG thank you to all you guys and lovely ladies who I met for the first 
time at The Glen - especially to Joe Alexander (for inviting me there in the first place) and to Bob 
Lang who took on the practical aspects of actually ensuring I did get there from Boston.
Joe, you organised a truly great event, Bob I'm so sorry I fell asleep so soon after leaving the 
circuit - and stayed asleep for so long!
I greatly look forward to seeing as many of you as possible next year when the Charity Drive gets 
underway and I think I'd quite like to do it in the 250K :)

Cheers all, Jonmac
