Event – MINI Cooper Day at Beaulieu
The MINI Cooper Day at Beaulieu has always been one of the best events of the year and remains my personal favorite. Back in 2005, when I first purchased my MINI, Beaulieu was the first event I attended and I’ve been back every year since. In past years the weather has always been wonderful, but on this day the southern England was continuing to be battered by lashing rain and howling winds. The result of this was a curtailed event and fewer cars on show than in previous years.

Whilst most of my friends from P&SMOC and SCNM were cleverly sheltering from the weather, I took it upon myself to take as many photos as I could before I finally surrendered to the inevitable and made my soggy way home. Lets hope next year’s event is back to being warm and dry!

First of all I would like to say great blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out. I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!
