a day at the races...

Yesterday, myself, Dan, Skene, Johnson and Vix had an enjoyable day at the races in Newbury.

The weather was nice and sunny and we sat on the grass with a picnic from our posh new picnic basket and drank some fizzy stuff while we placed a few bets.

Vix had asked her Daddy for a few tips and while they didn't always pay off she was in fact the only one of us who managed to at least break even. The rest of us all had lighter wallets. Johnson did manage to correctly pick a winner but didn't actually place a bet! D'oh!

After the racing was over, we wandered into the fair town of Newbury for a few drinks before we went off in search of food. Being a racing day everywhere was full but we eventually found space at Pizza Express.

Opting to have one last drink before heading back we missed the last train home at 10.25pm and faced the prospect of having to pay £50 for a taxi but in the end Vix managed to sweet talk a friend of hers into come and picking us up. What a hero! (and fool if you ask me!)
