So I need to bactrack a little, as I haven't had a chance to post in the last couple of days.
Last Saturday a friend of mine, James, came over for the afternoon and the decision was made, along with dad, that what that afternoon was in need of was a spot of golf. We dismissed the dark threatening clouds in an optimistic manner, remarking that by the time we arrived at the first hole they would have dissappeared in place of beautiful sunshine. This was not to be the case, in fact neither would the golf feature much in the afternoon as it unfolded.
The clutch cable snapped as we were driving there and we came to rest at the entrance to a farm track. There we stayed for several hours, and within an hour or so we found ourselves sheltering inside the car from the downpour, admiring the appproaching lightning and waiting for the AA.
Now James has a friend who works for Radio 2, and he needed someone for a quiz that very afternoon. The prize was to win tickets to a local music festival that I had my eye on, with a sensational line-up. www.endoftheroadfestival.com
So there I found myself, with the windows steaming up, the rain chattering on the roof and the lightning around us, talking live to Dermot O'Leary on Radio 2.
We had a lovely chat about all sorts of things including eating puffins, before I successfully managed to get both of my questions wrong, and lose out on winning the tickets.
A truly memorable afternoon even if I didn't win the tickets.
