I’ve always wanted to drive a supercar so last year for my birthday Gemma bought me a driving experience day. We took this opportunity to take a short break and head up to Stafford for a few days. When we arrived at the venue there was over a million pounds worth of cars sitting on the tarmac ready to be driven.

The day began with a short safety briefing and a few pointers on how best to drive around the track. The weather couldn’t have been better, it was bright and sunny for the entire day. The first car I drove was a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. It was excellent fun, you very rarely get a passenger sitting beside you urging you to accelerate harder and drive faster.

Last weekend we bought a travel card each and made our way into London. The first port of call was Covent Garden and Navajo Joe, a funky Mexican restaurant we have been to before. They serve excellent food and even better cocktails, the mojitos went down exceptionally well! Quite a few drinks later we travelled to Waterloo and collected our tickets for the London Eye. Below are some of my favourite photos I took on the day.

We went on at half seven when the sun was beginning to set and as a result saw some spectacular views. You get an awesome 360 degree panoramic view of the entire capital and can see many of Londons famous landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, BT Tower and the Gherkin.

I found out yesterday that tickets were still available to see Razorlight at the o2 Arena. In a single spontaneous moment, Gemma and I decided to buy two tickets and travel into Greenwich later that day to see the concert. We got an excellent pair of seats, a few blocks back, just six rows from the front.

The first support band was already playing when we entered the arena but to our disappointment the sound quality was quite poor making it difficult to determine what the lead vocalist was actually singing. It’s a shame because both support bands, The Airborne Toxic Event and Howling Bells were very good and certainly knew how to warm up the crowd.

This modern day remake of the 1950s classic of the same name follows closely in the footsteps of it’s predecessor. An alien ambassador named Klaatu, played by Keanu Reeves, arrives on earth accompanied by a towering robotic protector proclaiming that the human race is destroying the earth and must be eradicated to ensure the planets survival.
