Howdi, can you post updates throughout the week please? Need to know whether to cancel my accommodation. I do not think i could handle another weekend (day!) without racing.

Weather forecast on the BBC a few minutes ago was much better. Talking about a thaw setting in from Thursday with temperatures well above freezing - 6 or 7 degrees.
Very hopeful now, going both Friday and Saturday - can't wait as it's my birthday as well! |

The daffodil was very impressive and to be honest everybody who I've spoke with have felt the same.
http://www.quoakle.com/gloucestershire/restaurants/ Service was excellent and the restaurant itself is very comfortable. It's a 2 minute walk from the top of the promenade. But to be honest there's at least half a dozen restaurants within a few hundred yards of the Daffodil ( a couple of very good indians )..... Prezzo is good aswell ( the one in the brewery by the cinema. the one on the promenade is a bit dodgy) Very nice pasta dishes and their pizzas are good. |
