Soon after the evening at The Shard we drove south of London to Longcross motor track to provide Son Number 1 the experience of driving a McLaren car, a birthday present.  It was a major event with lots of others queuing up to drive their car of choice or to be driven around in a racing car.

We then drove through some country roads to find a country pub.

Inside the pub - The New Inn. It is not alone in being decorated for Holloween

Inside the pub – The New Inn. It is not alone in being decorated for Halloween.  Fake spiderwebs, spiders, etc are everywhere including the Irish Republic and Belfast.
