Yesterday was ace, today was even better, so UP YOURS, DREAMS!

Ha, one little stupid dream can't derail me!

Yesterday I was working on a toy stall at the Norton Hill Light Railway. We made some cash, sold most of the toys, everyone's a winner. Best of all who wandered up but our very own Frustrated Businessman! Paul is a top bloke, as you probably know, and was as excited about the tiny train as Sam and me had been the day before - well, who wouldn't be? We had a really good chat for 10/15 minutes until he was liberated by Mrs Businessman, hope we can meet up - preferably along with the elusive Letster - SOON! Next "chariddy" outing? Next week at the Norfolk Police Gala at the Norfolk Showground!

Picked Sam up today at 9, we both went back to finish the cleaning at The Woolpack (WHO have they had in since I left, it was nowhere near up to my standards!). Off early to the banger racing for a change, meaning:

1. We could park in the Arena car park, instead of three-quarters of a mile away on a grass verge;

2. We got seats in the grandstand, meaning a better view for Sam and much less wear-and-tear on Daddy's shoulders;

3. We didn't have to queue in the cafe for our lovely junk food dinner;

4. We were in our seats ready, when the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight made an unexpected flyover of the Arena, lovely!

The racing was excellent, including the V8 stock car World Championship - featuring drivers from as far away as New Zealand! The highlights though were the Demolition Derby at the end and best of all the Caravan Race! They always allow a driver called Ady Broom to use his banger car to wreak havoc (well, EXTRA havoc) on the caravans, and he didn't let us down. The first caravan to shed its skin, there was Ady smashing straight through it, sending matchstick caravan pieces in all directions. Sadly a HUGE piece was draped all over the front of his car.....but he kept going, how on earth could he see where he was going? Fantastic and exhilerating entertainment.

Sam was out like a light at bedtime, but not before this little conversation, just as his eyes were getting heavy:

"Daddy, I love you."

"I love you too Sam."

"Do you know how much I love you?"

"How much?"

"One hundred and twenty MILLION."
