what a weekend!

 Last weekend was one we will never forget.

The team villas in the Paddock

Our friends, who live in Abu Dhabi invited us over for the Abu Dhabi F1 Grand Prix....the last race of the season.

We flew through the night and arrived early Saturday morning and had Pit Passes for the weekend. We managed to stay awake for over 35 hours but at 1.30 Sunday morning had to call it a night. 

It started with lunch at the Williams team villa

Then a pit lane walk

then it was a matter of mingling with the beautiful people for the rest of the day.

 can you name any?

It was fun....then as the sun set we went home to change ready for an evening out.

how about that....a bottle with a light in the bottom!!

The next morning we headed back to the Yas Marina for race day.

We had great seats in the main grandstand for the final race.

 Then we made our way back to the marina for a bite to eat before partying the night away at The Amber Lounge....with a few famous faces!

The next day (feeling a little fragile) we took it easy then had an early dinner before flying home through the night again!

I had taken two paintings I had done as thank you presents for our hosts.

What a Wonderful weekend!
