Maserati Granturismo (Again)
The deed is sealed. I collect a Maserati from Nottingham next Thursday morning - the 3rd - and take Amanda to the Bath Priory for the night.
She understands that she needs to look like this.... or I will take somebody else.
I confess that I am worried that I may end up buying the car.

Thames Ironworks FC
Wednesday 12th June 2013
As everybody knows West Ham used to be called Thames Ironworks FC - formed in 1895.
A works team based on the dockyards of East London, just to the South.
It was thus essential that I visited the Memorial Grounds (31) to see where the team used to play.
See below:
This panoramic shot shows the grounds as they are today right next to West Ham Underground station. There is an artificial pitch slap bang in the midlle of where the stadium used to be.
If you look closely you can still see some raised banks around the perimeter which must be where the stands once stood.
Better still, if you google earth the site you can see the clear outline of the oval stadium on the ground.
Come On You Irons!
On the same day I moved on to see 38 St Georges Road at Gants Hill (32) which is where I lived in 1985/86 with Nicola Herbert, Jonathan Woodward, Melanie Lynch, and Ann Pomeroy. At the time I worked at the London Borough of Redbridge as a Surveyor.
For a very few months before that I lived as a lodger of Chris Thurston at 27 Uplands Road in Woodford Bridge (33). This is the only house I have lived in where I am not 100% sure of the number! (1985).
Chris was a Surveyor and a local DJ - he had many a single lady back to the house - I fondly remember one in pink stockings that he entertained on the rug in front of the fireplace.

European Champions League Final
25th May 2013
Bayern Munich 2 Borussia Dortmund 1
Wembley Stadium.
Thanks to the generosity of friend Ian Hall I visited my first Euro Champions League Final (30) with son James.
A fantastic day out - we sat in Club Wembley, near the scoreboard surrounded by Borussia Dortmund fans who sang and sang, until the 89th minute anyway.
It was a great experience.
