Today Roseanne gave me the keys to her wee baby and I went for a wee drive to the Aquadrome wetland. It’s been created from an old quarry that was started many years ago and in fact material from here was used in the construction of the first Wembley Stadium.

It’s also beside one of the main canals that connects this part of England to London..

Driving the Mercedes was great. It’s comfortable, quick, stylish and it’s a great place to sit. I only drove it for about 10 miles but I enjoyed every minute. First time I’ve driven a car since June last year.

If and when I return to the UK I think I’m going to have to buy a car that has style and presence on the road and that is comfortable. I quite fancy a Jag. And then I’ll tour the UK in style. Ah well I can dream can’t I?
