Think outside the box ... be creative ... when I visited Bruntingthorpe to see the Lightnings I worked it so I could send my wife to Ascot Ladies day with the daughter Worth every penny When I went to Bournemouth to see XH558 - I made it a weekend in a B&B and took her to sit in a deckchair on the sand with a few magazines Went to Wings N Wheels - built that around a weekend to visit the daughter - daughter's husband is a car nut so took them all
Unfortunately that's the only 3 I've done in the last 10 years
